This is the official quartiere that contains Porta Palazzo — the example that inspired this whole project. The market itself is a genuine, safe daytime attraction, but the wider Aurora area has well-documented, recurring problems with drug dealing and decay that show up even in daylight and worsen at night. Despite this, some listings here get very high online reviews from tourists who never notice the difference.

Is Aurora safe at night?
At night, Aurora is rated as an area where the data suggests extra caution relative to other neighbourhoods in Turin. If you're unsure, it's worth checking recent local reviews for your specific street or block, since a neighbourhood-wide rating can't capture block-by-block variation.
Is Aurora a good area to stay in as a tourist?
