Things to do in Turin: food, culture and a massage

A short list from Crigan Massaggi, the studio of Mihail Crigan at Via Monginevro 76/F, Borgo San Paolo. Six stops, then a place to sit down.

Outdoor restaurant tables at sunset

Where to eat: Arcadia

Galleria Subalpina, near Piazza Castello. Piedmont classics and a sushi bar. Book for Friday and Saturday. Map.

Running shoes on a stone wall

Where to run: Parco Ruffini

Pozzo Strada, a few minutes from the studio. Tree-lined paths. After the run, sports massage is the booking people make. Parking around Via Monginevro is free: not a blue zone. How to get here.

Front of a sports car, a nod to the car museum

The museum: MAUTO

National Automobile Museum, Corso Unità d'Italia 40, on the Po. Check hours on the official site. Neck after a long visit: neck massage.

Amber cocktail with orange peel

Aperitivo: La Drogheria

Piazza Vittorio Veneto 18/D, under the porticoes, view toward Gran Madre. This is central Turin, not next to the studio.

Coffee beans and a cup

Breakfast: Caffè San Carlo

Piazza San Carlo 156, the square Turin calls its drawing room. Ask for a bicerin if you want the local cup.

Black perfume bottle beside a red rose

Niche perfume: Maitre Parfumeur

Piazza Gran Madre di Dio, across the Po. A small boutique, not a department store.

Oil poured into a hand during a wellness massage

After the city: Crigan Massaggi

Via Monginevro 76/F. One therapist, Mihail Crigan. Sixty minutes, 60 €, by appointment. Not a spa with a rota. Not intimate or erotic. Wellness under Italian Law 4/2013, not a cure. Studio on Google Maps.
