Baroque arcades and chocolate
An elegant, under-touristed former royal capital beneath the Alps — grand arcaded boulevards, the first Italian capital, and the home of chocolate and vermouth.
Signature local dishes worth seeking out.
Grid-like and walkable; a metro line and trams fill gaps.
Do a "merenda reale" — the royal chocolate-and-coffee ritual at a historic café.
Generally safe — exercise normal travel awareness.
Aperitivo culture along the Po and in the Quadrilatero.
