Turin: Royal Palaces & Historic Centre Guided Walking Tour｜Italy

Turin is Italy's most understated capital. It was the country's first, and it still carries itself that way: wide baroque avenues, eighteen kilometres of arcades, and palaces that reveal almost nothing from the street.

We begin at Porta Nuova and walk up Via Roma, the street that cuts through the heart of the city, to Piazza San Carlo, the elegant drawing room of Turin, framed by its twin churches and lined with historic cafés.

From there we continue to Piazza Castello, where Palazzo Madama shows both sides of Turin at once: a medieval fortress at the back, a baroque façade by Juvarra at the front. Alongside stands the Royal Palace, seat of the House of Savoy for centuries.

We continue through the arcaded streets towards Via Po and the Mole Antonelliana, the improbable tower that was meant to be a synagogue and became the symbol of the city.

Your guide is a licensed Italian tour guide, and the tour is led directly in English or Turkish, with no interpreter in between. The tour lasts approximately 2.5 hours, and the pace is adapted to the group. Tell us your interests in advance and the route can be adjusted.
