Gay Guide Turin

Turin is a city I came to knowing about the cars and the chocolate, and left knowing about the gay community, which says something about how travel calibrates your attention. Piedmont has a conservative reputation within Italy, but Turin itself is a left-leaning university city that has developed one of the more interesting LGBTQ+ scenes in northern Italy over the past two decades. The Valentino Park and the surrounding streets, the Via Po area near the university, and the San Salvario neighbourhood are all central to understanding where the community lives and socialises. Turin Pride is an established annual event. What makes Turin distinctive is its French-inflected architecture - the porticoes along the main boulevards, the Baroque palaces, the extraordinary panorama of the Alps visible on clear days from the city centre - which gives it a visual distinction from Milan and Genoa. The aperitivo culture here is also exceptional, and the Mercat Centrale food market is one of the best in Italy. For gay-hosted accommodation and the full community guide, misterb&b Turin covers everything. 🏳️‍🌈 The Torino Pride in June is among the larger Pride events in northern Italy and has a notably political character, reflecting Turin's long tradition of labour movement activism and left-wing politics. The Mole Antonelliana - the extraordinary spire that dominates the Turin skyline and houses the National Museum of Cinema - is one of the more unusual cultural institutions in Europe and a particular point of pride for the city. The Egyptian Museum in Turin is the most important collection of ancient Egyptian artefacts outside Cairo. The Slow Food movement was founded in Piedmont and the food culture here - the white truffles of Alba, the Barolo wine, the gianduja chocolate - is exceptional.
