Although Torino is Italy’s fourth-largest city, it has a laidback atmosphere that makes it easy to practice your Italian with locals.

You will never be at a loss for things to do in Torino. Bike along the green space of the Po River, sample some of Italy’s best food at a restaurant or café, stroll the cobblestone streets, explore history at the Roman ruins or the Royal Palace, and visit Porta Palazzo, the largest outdoor market in Europe. Torino also makes it easy to explore beyond the city thanks to excellent public transportation, low-cost airlines, and high-speed trains.
