Piazza San Carlo, the aptly named "lounge" of Turin, is a miracle of elegance. The harmony of this huge area, on which work began in 1619, is down to Carlo di Castellamonte.
Piazza Carignano, one of the most important and historic squares of the Piedmontese capital. Dating back to the period of expansion of the city of Turin wanted by Vittorio Emanuele I of Savoy, the square, rectangular in shape, has in the center a monument made in honor of Vincenzo Gioberti.
Piazza Castello, this large rectangular esplanade is the true centre of Turin. At first, you may only have eyes for the dazzling Palazzo Madama, then your gaze will turn to the façade of the majestic Palazzo Reale.
The metropolitan cathedral of San Giovanni Battista is the main place of Catholic worship in Turin, located in the square of the same name, and cathedral of the archdiocese of Turin. Built at the end of the 15th century, it is the only religious building in Renaissance style in the city.
Porta Palatina (1C AD), is considered one of the best preserved in the Roman world. If you look closely you will see the furrows created by the carriages in the stones of the old road.
Mole Antonelliana, major landmark of the city, this 167m-high tower was a bold design, built in 1863 by the architect Alessandro Antonielli to serve as a place of worship for Turin's Jewish community. It was sold to the municipality in 1877, and today houses the fabulous collection of the National Cinema Museum.

This is the best time to visit Turin, beyond the various museums and taste the gastronomic specialties, I recommend a walk along the Po where you can admire the beautiful autumn colors.

This is an excellent tour and it proceeds even if you’re the only person in the group plus you don’t have to pay $250 for a private tour. She is very comprehensive and showed me all the must see places and even pointed to the important sights to visit that we were not able to go to because our time ran out. I had a very wonderful day seeing Turin for the first time in the eyes of someone who grew up there and loves her city.
Thank you for your review, we are pleased that our service was to your liking.
