Useful tips
- Prenota il tour preventivamente, in particolare nei weekend e durante l'alta stagione primaverile ed estiva: i posti si esauriscono rapidamente e il Museo Egizio è tra le attrazioni più richieste di Torino.
- Indossa calzature pratiche — il percorso interno al spazio espositivo è lungo e si sviluppa su più piani. Potresti camminare anche per due ore consecutive tra le diverse sale espositive.
- Prima o dopo il tour, approfitta della posizione centrale del spazio espositivo per esplorare il vicino Quadrilatero Romano e concederti un drink pre-cena torinese in uno dei bar storici della zona.
