Turin Neighborhoods: Where to Stay
Turin is Italy's most underrated city. Grand baroque piazzas, world-class Egyptian and cinema museums, and a chocolate culture that rivals Belgium—all without the crowds of Rome or Florence.
Centro
#1 PickHistoric core with porticoed squares and royal palaces.
Local Insight
"Turin invented the aperitivo as we know it. Around 6pm, order a drink and you'll get a generous buffet of Piedmontese specialties included. Caffè Torino is the most historic spot."
Top Hotels
Grand Hotel Sitea, NH Collection Torino Piazza Carlina, Hotel Victoria
Quadrilatero Romano
#2 PickThe ancient Roman grid turned hip dining and nightlife district.
Local Insight

Top Hotels
Hotel dei Pittori, Best Western Crystal Palace, Hotel Chelsea
San Salvario
#3 PickMulticultural neighborhood near Parco del Valentino and the Po River.
Local Insight
"San Salvario is Turin's most interesting food neighborhood—Ethiopian, Moroccan, and Middle Eastern restaurants sit alongside traditional Piedmontese trattorias."
