Turin, or Torino as it is known to the Italians, should absolutely be on your Italy bucket list. This often overlooked city is in fact the original capital of the Kingdom of Italy. It is the birthplace of espresso, aperitivo<\/i>, and gianduja<\/i> chocolate, plus home to timeless companies like FIAT and Lavazza. Located in the northwest of Italy, just below the Alps, this city just doesn\u2019t seem to get the attention it deserves. But the fact that it is fairly small means that you really can experience a lot in 24 hours in Turin.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Surrounded by lush green hills and snow-capped Alps in the distance, Turin will greet you with the smell of fresh coffee roasting and decadent chocolate, while the streets are filled with elegant boutiques, antique bookshops, and intriguing art galleries.\u00a0 There really is so much to see in Turin<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n
