Description
This Turin walking tour lasts two hours and keeps the group small, with a licensed local guide who sets the city's history and culture in the squares you cross. You start in the centre and finish at the foot of the Mole Antonelliana, the building most people associate with Turin.
The first stop is Piazza San Carlo, called the drawing room of the city, where the equestrian monument of Emmanuel Philibert takes centre stage. A gallery then brings you to Piazza Carignano, framed by some of the finest historic buildings in town, UNESCO-listed since 1997.
- Piazza Castello, the real heart of Turin
- Palazzo Reale and Palazzo Madama
- The church of San Lorenzo
It is a two-hour introduction to the historic centre. Tours run in English and Italian, and the guide is the only thing included. Minors must be accompanied by an adult, and the tour goes ahead in any weather. Some stretches may be difficult for people with reduced mobility; contact the provider if you are not sure.
