Detailed itinerary

In the heart of Turin's historic center, Piazza CLN welcomes visitors with its elegant simplicity and the famous twin fountains that represent the Po and the Dora Riparia, the two symbolic rivers of the city.

It is an ideal starting point to explore the most authentic Turin, where history and everyday life blend harmoniously.

Stop 2

Called the “living room of Turin”, Piazza San Carlo is one of the most elegant squares in Italy. Circon DAta DA refined arcades and historic cafes such as Caffè Torino and Caffè San Carlo, is the social and cultural heart of the city. In the center stands the equestrian monument of Emanuele Filiberto of Savoy, symbol of the royal soul of Turin. Here you can breathe a timeless elegance, among baroque facades, discreet voices and the scent of freshly roasted coffee.

A jewel of Turin’s Art Nouveau architecture, Galleria San Federico enchants with its glass and wrought iron roof, soft lighting and historic boutiques. Strolling through its corridors means taking a step back in time, between vintage cinemas, fine shops and refined architectural details. It is one of the most beloved galleries by Turinese, a place that tells the elegant and reserved vocation of the city.

Piazza Carignano is one of the richest places in Turin history, dominated by the imposing brick facade of Palazzo Carignano, a Baroque masterpiece by Guarino Guarini. It was here that the first King of Italy, Vittorio Emanuele II, was born, and the first Parliament of the Kingdom of Italy was located within these walls. Today it is a place where history intertwines with architectural beauty, offering a living account of Turin’s identity.
