Turin (Torino to the locals) is Italy’s best-kept secret. Picture grand arcaded boulevards, baroque piazzas and the snow-capped Alps on the horizon, all in a city small enough to walk. It’s one of Italy’s great university towns, so you’ll be surrounded by students. Evenings start with aperitivo (a Turin invention), and the river Po is a perfect backdrop. Spend weekends exploring the world-famous Egyptian Museum, climbing the Mole Antonelliana or escaping to the mountains. The student districts of San Salvario and Vanchiglia keep the nightlife going, and life here costs noticeably less than in Rome or Milan. It’s stylish, relaxed and easy to fall for.
