When travelers think of Italy, they often picture Rome, Venice, or Florence. However, if you're looking for an authentic Italian experience, Turin should be at the top of your list. This beautiful city in Northern Italy offers a rich cultural heritage, incredible cuisine, and a more relaxed atmosphere compared to Italy’s more tourist-heavy destinations, meaning fewer crowds. From world-class museums to chocolate tastings and thrilling football matches, Turin has something for everyone.

One of Turin's most impressive attractions is the Museo Egizio, home to one of the largest collections of Egyptian artifacts outside of Cairo. Established in 1824, the museum spans 4,000 years of history and features stunning exhibits, including intricately detailed papyrus scrolls, well-preserved mummies, and sarcophagi.
