If you're looking for a short answer – yes, Turin is definitely worth visiting. For those who like to get off the well-trodden tourist path and discover a more local side of Italy, then Turin should be at the top of your list.

If you are someone who prefers a more tranquil and peaceful atmosphere, then Turin is the perfect choice for you. That being said, it's worth noting that both cities offer a diverse range of experiences, so even if you prefer a quieter atmosphere, you can still find plenty to do in Milan, and vice versa.

It is possible to see Turin's highlights in one rushed day, but to really appreciate the city you'll need three days or more. On the tightest schedule, you could spend a morning in the Palazzo Reale and cathedral, grab lunch, coffee and chocolate at Caffè Baratti & Milano, then take in the Mole Antonelliana.

Knowing Italian Is a Must Turin is a great city for expats, but it can be difficult to live in it if you don't know Italian. This is because most people in the city don't speak English well.
