There’s so much to see and do in Turin — you’ll spend plenty of time looking up and around at exquisite architecture and interesting sights.

But, while you’re busy looking all around, you may miss out on these more hidden spots! If you want to make your trip to Turin even more special, I highly recommend you visit some (or all!) of the following destinations — some of which haven’t even been visited by locals!

It’s in these places that you’ll get a more authentic taste of Turin. Plus, they’re not cliché tourist spots — you’ll never feel crowded or ripped-off. Most of them are free, or require the purchase of a drink or coffee (but it’s totally worth it).

Here are a handful of secret places I’ve discovered in Turin. I hope you discover them, too.

Narrow Streets off of Via Giussepe Garibaldi

No trip to Turin is satisfactory until visiting Via Garibaldi. It’s the street in the heart of the city center where Torinesi and visitors alike go out to see and be seen. On this street, you’ll find all the major shopping stores plus a few cafes and even some smaller, mom-and-pop style stores.
