What is a budget traveler, anyway?
You might think you're a budget traveler, but unless you're willing to sacrifice many comforts, expect to spend a lot more than the average of $74 per day that backpackers typically manage.

Throughout the years, the Massolino family continued to maintain typical cuisine of Langhe. However, it was not until after World War II that the restaurant began to improve its standards, aiming for absolute quality.

Numerous hotels offer breakfast as part of the room rate, but some might charge extra for it. The cost and quality can differ from one hotel to another. Being aware of this beforehand can help you determine if you need to allocate additional funds. It could be worth it for a fantastic buffet at the hotel, or you might want to opt for a nearby bakery or cafe that's more budget-friendly.
Carry a water bottle with you instead of buying drinks everywhere. It's also good for the environment.
If you're thinking about taking a tour, it's wise to check in advance which meals are covered. You may need to cover some of your own food costs, which could increase your overall budget.

The most famous landmark of Piedmont is none other than the Mole Antonelliana located in Turin, Italy and named after its architect Alessandro Antonelli. Antonelliana was originally built as a Jewish temple during the unification process of 1862. Antonelliana mimics the key traits of Turin, being both daring and innovative in design. The Antonelliana is about 16,335 meters tall, making it the tallest brick building in the world. The Antonelliana holds a particular character due to its golden spire whose point often peaks through the horizon of Piedmont. The Antonelliana now works as the actual seat for the National Museum of Cinema where one may be so privileged as to step onto the panoramic lift over the city and amphitheatre of the Alps. With the exception of Tuesday, the National Museum of Cinema is open on a daily basis from 9 AM to at least 8 PM. If you are interested in exploring this neat little museum, more information is given on their site.
Be that as it may, if you are really looking to immerse yourself in ancient history, look no further than the Museo Egizio di Torino, one of the two museums in the world that dedicate itself solely to Egyptian art and culture. The Museo Egizio was originally founded in 1824 after Bernardino Drovetti collected 5,268 relics of ancient Egypt. The modern-day site of the museum was originally a palace, built as a Jesuit school by Guarino Guarini in the seventeenth century. The innumerable, awe-inspiring treasures found within the Museo Egizio are owned by the Italian State. Since its first construction, the Museo Egizio has been a bustling honeycomb for international scholars, such as Jean-Francois Champollion, the decipherer of Egyptian hieroglyphics. Champollion once famously complimented the museum by stating, "The road to Memphis and Thebes passes through Turin." Most of the exhibitions found throughout the museum were originally excavations that took place in Egypt from 1900 to 1935. The museum is open from Tuesday to Sunday from 9 AM to 6 PM and Mondays from 9 AM to 2 PM. Explore Egypt while in the quaint Italian town of Turin at the Museo Egizio!

Traveling in Piedmont
Turin, Italy
The Alps sunken and faded in blue shadows swim amongst waves of roaming hills of fertile Italian countryside. Lush, quaint, breathtaking - Piedmont, whose name means "land of mountains," is the second-largest region of the twenty regions of Italy. Known for its delicacy in Slow Food and fine wine, Piedmont is a tourist attraction for those who want a true taste of Italian culture. After the Austrian wars, Piedmont emerged out of the unification movement that ran rampant throughout the 1850s, when the nation was given its first prime minister and its dynastic royal family. Prior to this era, many of the smaller towns found within Piedmont were once warring fiefdoms that often battled over religion and trade. Despite the chaos from whence it originated, Piedmont is now a serene escape from the noisy, overcrowded streets of Rome and Milan. Though far more peaceful than that of Rome or Milan, Piedmont also attains its fair share of excitement with its world-renowned museums, five-star restaurants, and expansive wine vineyards.
