Top Culture in Piedmont

My advice is to grab the audio guide. It’s super informative and helped me understand the context behind the artifacts much better. Totally worth the small extra fee!

If you're a fan of photography, aim to be up top by 6 PM. The sunset over Turin is stunning and you’ll get some great shots!

I suggest buying your tickets online ahead of time. I waited in line for almost 30 minutes, but skipping that would have been a lifesaver!

Check the weather for the day you plan to go. The view from the top is amazing, but I went when it was cloudy and missed out on great photos!

My advice is to grab a gelato from a local shop nearby after your visit. It's a great way to unwind and enjoy the city ambiance!

If you plan to grab a bite, try the local eateries, but skip the overpriced ones near the entrance. I found a quaint tavern just a bit further in that had fantastic, reasonably priced meals.

I recommend checking out the artisan shops. You might find unique gifts and souvenirs that aren't in the tourist traps. I found some handmade jewelry that was a hit back home.

I suggest visiting the Medieval Village during the weekdays, especially on Wednesday or Thursday. It's way less crowded and you can really soak in the ambiance without fighting for space.

Try to visit on a Saturday morning; that's when the market is most vibrant and bustling with local vendors. It's an experience you won't want to miss!

Be mindful of your belongings. It can get crowded, especially during peak times, so keep an eye on your bags.

Don’t forget to taste the local street food. I loved the arancini and other snacks; they were delicious and budget-friendly.

Some areas have limited access, so check the map at the entrance. I missed parts of the gardens which were beautiful. Plan ahead!

I think it's worth spending some time in the gardens—grab a bench to relax! I rushed past and missed such a nice spot to unwind.

If you want to beat the crowds, try visiting on a Tuesday morning around 10 AM. I went later in the day and it was packed!

I suggest grabbing a snack from the cafe instead of venturing into the city before your visit... Prices there are totally reasonable and it saves time

If you're planning to take photos, go around 5 PM for that golden hour light. The views are stunning and less crowded then. Seriously, it makes a big difference.

I suggest grabbing a coffee at one of the local cafes before you start your exploring. The vibe is chill, and it's the perfet way to soak in the atmosphere.

If you're into architecture, don’t rush your visit! Take your time around the square; I think an hour is good to just admire the buildings and snap some photos without feeling hurried.

Watch out for the street performers! Some can be really good, but I recommend double-checking if they pass the hat afterwards to avoid awkward situations.
