How many neighborhoods are there in Turin? Many! In fact, it's more accurate to talk about “borghi” and “borgate”, as locals love to call them. Listing all the small districts that make up the capital of Piedmont is quite an ambitious task. However, what’s interesting to know—if you’re planning to visit the city—is that fascinating cultural initiatives take place in the suburbs just as much as in the historic center.
There are at least 23 neighborhoods, each with its own history and identity:
Every part of the city is full of B&B HOTELS for every need and budget. Let’s explore the best areas to stay in Turin!
A true architectural gem filled with stunning squares, Turin’s historic center puts all the city's attractions within walking distance. Shops, restaurants, and historical landmarks such as the Royal Palace and Palazzo Madama are all easily accessible on foot. If you enjoy nightlife, the historic center is a great place to stay in Turin. With two main stations, Porta Susa and Porta Nuova, it is easy to reach and explore.
One of Turin’s oldest districts, Borgo Aurora is located north of the historic center, just outside the medieval city walls. Lively, popular, and multicultural, Aurora is famous for its markets, including Porta Palazzo, the largest open-air market in Europe, and the Balon flea market. Despite being close to the center, this area is not served by Turin’s metro. This may be inconvenient for those wanting quick access to downtown, but there are several tram and bus stops available.
If you want to experience the more local side of the city, Mirafiori is the neighborhood for you. With large parks and green spaces, it’s a great spot to relax and observe daily life. Plus, the Fiat Mirafiori Village, known for its innovations and historic car showroom, and the Olympic Stadium, a must-visit for sports and football fans, are both nearby. Compared to the center, accommodations here are more affordable and particularly suitable for families or business travelers. For those using public transportation, the B&B Hotel Torino Orbassano is strategically located near tram stops.
Stay at the B&B Hotel Torino President, just a few minutes' walk from the San Donato metro stop (Line 1), which connects to the city center as well as Porta Susa and Porta Nuova stations. From San Donato, you can easily reach Valentino Park, the National Automobile Museum, Turin’s university district, and the Palazzo del Lavoro. Stop by Piazza San Donato, where you’ll find plenty of shops and cafés for a relaxing break.
Stretching along the right bank of the Po River up to the surrounding hills, Borgo Po is one of the most upscale areas in Turin. With its steep streets and tree-lined avenues, this quiet residential district is home to elegant Art Nouveau villas, luxury hotels with pools, and beautifully restored historic farmhouses.
Spanning from Corso Vittorio Emanuele II to Corso Bramante, bordered by Porta Nuova station to the west and the Po River to the east, San Salvario is a vibrant Turin neighborhood. Visit the Moorish-style synagogue and discover how old industrial buildings have been repurposed. Once a run-down area, San Salvario has undergone a major transformation and is now one of Turin’s most multicultural districts, offering a bustling nightlife scene, numerous bars, cafés, and restaurants. Staying in San Salvario is a great choice, especially if you arrive by train. Finding a place for dinner certainly won’t be a problem!
About 15 km from the city center, in an area rich in infrastructure, you can stay at the B&B Hotel Borgaro Torinese. Visit the Parco della Mandria with its castle or the indoor market. Borgaro Torinese is an ideal destination for staying near Turin, combining natural beauty with local history.
