Moving from Milan to Turin (Torino).

I will travel from Milan to Turin (Torino) by train.

I will be boarding from Porta Garibaldi station, which is a little west of Milan Central Station.



The accommodation in Turin is as follows:

Bamboo Eco Hostel
3 nights in a dormitory for 66 euros (approximately 8,860 yen), including breakfast (light meal).
That is 2,950 yen per night.



It seems to be run by Chinese people.
It's not a bunk bed, but a regular bed, which is a good thing.


Turin (Torino) city center.

I am walking around the city of Turin.
It gives the impression of a city that is well-organized.
It is already autumn.




San Lorenzo Church (Real Chiesa di San Lorenzo).

I went into a church in the town called San Lorenzo (Real Chiesa di San Lorenzo).
It's small, but it's still enjoyable.




San Giovanni Battista Cathedral (Duomo di Torino).

I went inside the Duomo di Torino, a major cathedral in the city center.
It is quite large, but it feels a little desolate, perhaps because of the weather.




Church of Santi Martiri.

I stopped by a small church called the Church of Santi Martiri.
Even though it is small, the frescoes on the inside walls are magnificent.




Turin Egyptian Museum (Egyptian Museum of Turin, Museo Egizio).

Visit the Egyptian Museum of Turin (Museo Egizio).



It seems to be an Egyptian museum of a similar scale to the museum in Cairo.
It reminds me of the time I visited Egypt.
It's difficult to travel to Egypt now due to the conflict.

When I visited Egypt, the Karnak Temple in Luxor (ancient Thebes) only had thick pillars remaining, and there were hardly any statues. It seems that a large number of them, literally a mountain of them, were brought here to Turin. There are a lot of statues from the Karnak Temple.
Other museums in other countries also have Egyptian sections, so it makes sense that most of them were not left in Egypt itself.
Egypt is a pitiful country. Even though its civilization has been cut off since ancient times, it is scattered all over the world.
