Crystalina

Ciao! I started traveling around Italy in 2017 and finally I moved here to live, because Italy is the epicenter of art, history and beauty. I will show you Italy from the most interesting sides, will share with you secrets and traditions of this country and will help make your trip unforgettable.

Turin is one of Italy’s largest cities, the capital of the Piedmont Region. It is located on the Po River at the foot of the Western Alps, within 1-hour ride from the French border and at a similar distance from the Mediterranean coast. Turin is a sophisticated city with wide streets, squares, palaces, and the unique capital atmosphere. It stands out from amongst all Italian cities both architecturally and culturally and has an important historic value.

This is because Turin was the first capital of the Kingdom of Italy and the cradle of the Risorgimento, the national liberation movement for unification and freedom.

Dangerous and recommended areas of the city

0 10 20 30 40 50 60 70 80 90 100

Milan Barrier

Located directly north of Aurora, which, together with the Porta Palazzo, best represents the bad parts of Turin – the Italian Bronx.

Barriera di Milano is a multinational area. In the sense that there you can find almost any ethnic group, and in the rarest cases, Italians.

Aurora

Aurora is an area known for crime and drug dealing.

Currently, the main language in the Aurora area is Arabic, and the percentage of drug addicts and thugs per capita is one of the highest in Turin.

0 10 20 30 40 50 60 70 80 90 100

Porta Nuova

In almost every city in the world, the area near the central stations is one of the least recommended. The Porta Nuova railway station in Turin is no exception, although the beautiful structure has been polished by the municipality. The first part of San Salvario has been filled with drug dealers for decades, and the arcades of Via Nizza are a perpetual kebab festival.

Vallette

The northwestern part of Turin is a logistically unsuccessful zone.

In the 90s, a prison was opened in this area of ​​Turin, which you cannot do in the center, but here, yes, just right. Let’s close our eyes to this. But when the Juventus stadium is placed 1 km away… Previously, this area was considered a gangster area, but in the 2000s the situation changed, the area became calm.

Crystalina, I returned from an 11-day trip in northern Italy after having the kind help of you to plan and build the itinerary. Happily, your recommendations were incredibly accurate and detailed, including parking, recommendations for restaurants and even leading ice cream parlors. We arrived at magical places, don't want to think what would have happened without your planning?! Thank you very much, Crystalina.

Anthony Long

We decided to fly and opened up to Crystalina 10 days before the flight. Crystalina found out exactly what we wanted and built us an incredibly accurate trip. She found accommodations that just suited us, and attractions that just suited us. And in the process we had one problem, Crystalina immediately mobilized, made phone calls and solved the problem for us from the country. For everything we received an exact link and a map, including opening hours. Thanks to Crystalina, we had a calm and flowing trip. Thank you so much, Crystalina!

Crystalina prepared a simple and perfect trip for us, exactly according to our needs. We spent Sunday seeing special things in Milan and went shopping on Monday. She sent us to really worthwhile places! Then we went to Lake Como, with crazy views and lots of special observations. Every day we thought it was the most special it could be, and we were surprised to find out the next day that there was more! It was a fun and relaxed trip. We felt in good hands, and everything was accurate, including addresses from place to place, prices, and if we had a question, she immediately answered. In short, there are no words to describe it! I highly recommend Crystalina for anyone looking for a perfect trip without any headaches.
