Solo Female Travel in Turin

Turin has been welcoming me and my dog Almond with warmth hugs! Greeted by the sunset on our arrival day and meeting lovely new friends/sisters in the city. The city is definitely beyooond dog friendly and its coming from us who lives in Berlin that is also considered dog friendly city! Food has been amazing and people has been really kind and heart-warming.

Turin is awesome! One of the more affordable cities to visit, with a super creative vibe. There’s tons of live music, jazz, and open mic nights! Also the food is great. Typical for the area, bagna cauda is a must try!!

It was really relaxing and I had so much with my friends. I went there for only 2 days but even that was enough to see the well known places. The food was amazing and delicious also you can go anywhere by foot plus the subway is too easy to use.

Turin is safe in mostly all areas, except for some streets as Corso Giulio Cesare and Via Nizza (porta nuova train station) where I wouldn’t recommend to walk alone at night. Just like major cities, you will want to be careful with pick pickers on public transport

Turin is a big city and there are neighbourhoods where I don’t feel safe walking alone in the night. However, I think that, despite the perception of unsafety, the actual risk of being physically in danger is quite low.

First capital of Italy, elegant and vibrant with its big avenues, parks and baroque buildings! From Porta Nuova take Via Roma, passing through Piazza S. Carlo, where you can observe twin churches. You can wonder under the portici (arcades) until Piazza Castello. You can have a lunch break in Piazza IV Marzo at Piola Cianci to taste affordable local food. From there I recommend going to the mercato di Porta Palazzo, careful with your belongings! On Sunday you have the Balon, flea market! Take Via Po to Piazza Vittorio, eating Gelato from Grom gelateria you pass near the Mole Antonelliana, city symbol and cinema museum. Go to Parco del Valentino, along the river Po for a walk or row on the river! Quadrilatero, San Salvario and Santa Giulia for nightlife. FIAT and the museo dell'automobile for car lovers!

Every second Sunday of each month, Borgo Dora gets even livelier with Gran Balon market. 🏘️🛍️ From 08:00 to 18:00, many stands full of vintage clothes and furniture, books and art fill up the peculiar streets of this beautiful historical neighborhood. Be careful, on Sundays prices might be higher than expected. On Saturdays, you can find the same market, but smaller: when less tourists are roaming around, you might achieve much greater bargains! 💰 Don’t forget to also stop at ethnic restaurants and bakeries: many of them serve amazing food for a couple of euros.
