Turin Egyptian Museum is amazing … seeing faces stare back from 4000 years ago. Egyptians made huge efforts to ensure their lives lived on beyond death. In these exhibits they do. Images of people and lives from thousands of years ago lead us to try and understand how they thought, how they lived. Arms wrapped around each other’s shoulders, their love lives on. Everyday objects, a bed, a side table, 4000 years old but preserved as if they were made yesterday. The array of objects and images is astonishing. Carved from hard volcanic rock, painted with mineral pigments, these objects and images still live like the day they were made. Kings and gods sit silently and stare through the years, unchanged.
When you go to Turin, you must first go to the Piazza Castello on Via Garibaldi. There is a tourist center on the left side of the building facing the Royal Palace of Turin. You can buy a museum + bus card here. This card is very cost-effective. You can enter almost all museums in Turin (including the Egyptian Museum) for free, and take the bus and subway unlimited times.
I suffered a loss when I first arrived. Yesterday, I bought a bus card at a tobacco shop (small convenience store) on the street. Before coming, I was afraid that it would be difficult to buy tickets for the Egyptian Museum on site, so I bought tickets for the Egyptian Museum online in advance for 18 euros. Yesterday, I spent 10 euros to visit three museums, and the net loss was at least 30 euros.
But I am also open-minded. It is normal to spend money in a strange place. The purpose of travel is to be happy.

Breathtaking! A MUST see in Turin!Built in the 16th century and later modernized by Christine Marie of France in the 17th century, with designs by the Baroque architect Filippo Juvarra. The palace also includes the Palazzo Chiablese and the Chapel of the Holy Shroud. Tip: Allow a good 2 hours to see the beauty of this palace and the museum. You won’t be disappointed!
Definitely worth it! I would also recommend to splurge and do the tour with the guide. The palace is filled with art and history from the duchy of Piedmont to the Kingdom of Italy, the numerous french invasions, Napoleon and the emancipation of the Italian people into today’s Republic.Walk into the Royal gardens as well, those are free and locals do it in the weekends.

The Turin Auto Museum building itself covers a large area, the design is unique, the car exhibition content inside is even more exciting, dizzying, all kinds of eras, all kinds of styles, all kinds of brands are simply great!
Interesting! Italian cars are also famous around the world, and museums are full of childishness, so that people of every age can like it. Of course, men prefer some, and in order to attract women and children, the museum is so strange.

The film museum was unexpectedly interesting! I originally thought it was just an introduction to the development of film history, but I found that in addition to film history, it also introduced optics, light refraction, image presentation, the evolution of film production, etc. It also includes movie scenes, which makes people feel like they are in it, which is an interesting experience.
The National Cinematheque is a museum that displays the history of Italian film art. The interior of the museum is quite nice, and many of the film artworks on display are very distinctive. The models here are very rich.

The Juventus Stadium in Turin, Italy is very big. It happened to be at night, the lights and sound were shocking, there were many locals, shouting one after another, and the surrounding environment was good. I went there but didn't go in. The ticket was 100 euros. My colleague went inside. I was pulling two suitcases. Fortunately, there were food, drinks and entertainment around. I put the suitcases in the supermarket and bought a few things symbolically. It was a warehouse-style supermarket. There were a wide variety of things. I was stunned. They were all branded things. We had limited luggage and couldn't carry them. I went to another supermarket to buy various sports products. Wow, there were so many things! The lively crowd outside the stadium was shouting.
I will explain the process to the beautiful ladies and handsome guys who come to visit. When you get off the bus, you can see the stadium with the Alps in the background from a distance. Go closer and find J Medicail. Turn right and there is a sign to the museum. Enter the museum and buy a ticket for the tour. Remember to buy the +tour ticket. The full ticket is 25 euros. The ticket seller will tell you the meeting time for visiting the stadium. I came in September. The interval is 45 minutes/time, and the time is 1 hour. The tour includes: the stadium (fan area and player channel), player locker room, press conference room, media room, interview area, etc.

Piazza San Carlo is well worth a visit! It is only five minutes walk from Porta Nuova train station along the central axis. You can also walk to the green banks of the Po River to enjoy the scenery on both sides. Some restaurants along the way are affordable. You can also walk across the small bridge to the Church of Our Lady of God. You can also...
This is a huge square, or Piazza as they say, you can spend the whole day here, all the sights are within walking distance. Lots of bars, restaurants, small supermarkets, and it connects all the commercial shopping streets. All the bus terminals are not far away, so it's very convenient. It's very hot during the day, so take precautions. The tourist office is near the entrance, where you can ask for a fee for a guided tour. This is a great way to see the city.

Located in the Valentino Park in Turin, it is one of the 16th century palaces of the Savoy family. It is now home to the Department of Architecture at Turin Polytechnic University, opened in 1856 and was listed on the World Heritage List in 1997. Like all Savoy palaces, it is white on the front and red brick on the back.
Valentino Castle in Turin has a lot of large simplified characters and sculptures, the things here are very beautiful, there are a lot of fun artwork, the visit is divided into time, 9 am to enter one after another.
