My fav city Torino 🇮🇹

#cityscape My trip to Torino, Italy, was an unforgettable blend of history, culture, and amazing food! The city, known for its elegant squares and Baroque architecture, felt like stepping into a different era. I spent most of my time wandering around Piazza Castello and Piazza San Carlo, both free to explore, but if you’re a museum lover, I highly recommend the Egyptian Museum – entry is about €15 and it's incredible! Another highlight was visiting the Mole Antonelliana, home to the National Cinema Museum, with breathtaking views from the top (for around €12). Don't miss the royal palaces and the delicious cafes serving classic Italian espresso and gelato. Torino’s mix of history and modern charm makes it a must-visit! 🍝🏛️☕ #Torino #ItalyTravel #PiazzaCastello #CulturalJourney #ItalianVibes #CityOfHistory

The Turin Royal Palace, a world cultural heritage, is so dazzling with gold!

Let’s take a look at Turin, which looks pragmatic, but is luxurious and noble inside! 💗This is Palazzo Reali, the Royal Palace of Turin, which is so dazzling with gold! From the 16th to the early 19th century, this was the official residence of the Savoia royal family. Very impressive! Until after the unification of Italy, the capital was moved south from Turin to Florence (1865), and the palace became vacant. In the middle of the 20th century, it was changed to the palace museum and opened to the public. This palace and other palace buildings of the Savoia dynasty are included in the World Cultural Heritage. #外游 #goout #ItalyTravel #goout

#holidayvacation The salt roads between Piedmont and Liguria were lands of passage for shepherds, pilgrims, muleteers, traders and travelers who, from western Liguria and nearby Provence, reached Piedmont and northern Europe via the Alpine passes, creating dense networks of exchanges. These were places of transit guarded by many watchtowers scattered throughout the territory. The territory between the Alps and the Ligurian Sea is characterized by a rich cultural system consisting of churches, monuments, castles, historic centers and buildings, "hospitali" i.e. places of rest and prayer, as well as paths, mule tracks, passages. Most of the routes called "Salt roads” starting from Nice and Porto Maurizio (in Liguria), converged into “Colle del Cornio” (nowadays known as “Colle di Tenda”) from where they continued northwards. Also known as "Via Marenga". (i.e. "that leads to the sea"), the Salt route that passed through Limone was a characteristic mule track that, although it exceeded very high altitudes, did not present annoying up and downs. Nowadays, the "Salt Routes" have lost their commercial connotation and have taken on an important role in outdoor tourism: hikes, trekking and mountain bike destinations, which allow to explore territories that are still uncontaminated and rich in flora and fauna varieties. The Salt road which goes along the former military road Limone - Monesi is a route of medium difficulty, which reaches, as its highest point, 2,239 m. above sea level. Starting points can be the railway station of Limone P.te, with a route of 53 km, or the “Colle di Tenda” with 39 km. The arrival is in Monesi di Triora at 1378 m. above sea level; with a ring route, you can return passing through the French territory. #staycation #merryxmas #holidayvacation#staycation#merryxmas
