From Italian history to a side of ancient Egypt – Turin has it covered. Get set to dive into the city centre’s Italian charm, where you’ll encounter the Savoy family before delving into the wonders of the world-renowned Egyptian Museum. With two ticket options available – museum-only or the combo museum and city tour – you’re in for a treat. Beatrice, one of our local expert guides, says, ‘Imagine rubbing elbows with Italy's historical figures like Vittorio Emmanuele II and the pharaohs of ancient Egypt. It's second only to Cairo itself.’
You’ll start with a blast from the past at Piazza Carignano. Here, the Risorgimento Museum steals the spotlight, offering insights into Italy's journey to unity and the legendary Savoy family. After another royal rendezvous at San Carlo Square, you’ll stroll through the Galleria Subalpina. It’s the perfect spot for snapping up pics. Those ‘dolce vita’ vibes are up for grabs walking down Via Roma – alive with Italian chit-chat and the aroma of coffee filling the air.
Next stop, the Egyptian Museum. Whether you're kicking off your adventure here or joining mid-tour, you’ll be whisked back in time over 5,000 years. On this two-hour tour with a local expert, unravelling the mysteries of this ancient civilisation has never been easier. Prepare to be dazzled by towering pharaohs, artefacts, and even mummies on display. Learn about hieroglyphs and strike a pose next to the iconic sphynx – this stellar collection outshines the pages of any history book.
