Must visit - Make sure you give yourself a many hours to visit this museum & palace. The various displays are just so wonderful but you lose track of time. The artefacts date from many years B.C. and offer a wonderful insight into many aspects. The entrance cost covers the visit to the chapel of ‘The shroud of Turin’. This is a must visit site for all ages

Buy by looking at history - The Porta Palazzo market is a historic market, made up of many colors and people from different parts of the world, which make it a special place. The market is located at the entrance to the historic Via Milano, overlooked by the Duomo and a series of spectacular period buildings. But you will see that the entire area will offer you the opportunity to shop walking transactions history. The market has a part dedicated to clothing, shoes, bags etc. and a part dedicated to food, from vegetables, fruit, meat etc. I haven't visited the new part yet, where I know you can also eat, but I will soon and so for those who follow me, you will read new updates soon.

Open air market not worth visiting - Very over-rated outdoor market. Lots of fresh produce that looked beautifully ripe. It was not…purchased strawberries, apricots, cherries. Only ate the strawberries (they were sweet and quite good) but the cherries and apricots were way too tart and apricots looked ripe but were rock hard (we were not allowed to touch so relied on the person in the stall). If you’ve been to La Boqueria Market in Barcelona you will be sorely disappointed. More like a swap meet or really cheap flea market in US. Watch out for pick pockets!!!! The positive if you walk away from the open air market down the side streets you’ll find cute cafes and shopping.

Pickpocketed in the Porto Palazzo. - The market is interesting… great cheeses in the indoor part. The outdoor veg market is very colourful but… had my phone stolen ! Never happened before thankfully and very distressing especially as everything is on our phones these days. Please be wary! I would not go here again. The rest of Turin is wonderful… this was our second trip and will return.
