Surrounded by royal residences, elegant arcades and historic cafés, Piazza Castello has been the heart of Turin for more than four centuries. This is where the House of Savoy ruled their kingdom before Turin became the first capital of a united Italy. Today, the square remains the city's natural meeting place, where centuries of history blend seamlessly with everyday life.

Standing at the centre of Piazza Castello, Palazzo Madama tells Turin's story through a single remarkable building. Behind its elegant Baroque façade lie the remains of a Roman city gate and a medieval fortress, preserving almost 2,000 years of history. Your host will reveal the stories woven into its remarkable exterior. Tickets to enter are not included.

Just beyond Piazza Castello stands the Royal Palace, home to the House of Savoy for more than two centuries. As you admire its magnificent exterior, hear how this ambitious dynasty helped unite Italy and establish Turin as the country's first capital. Tickets to enter are not included.

Hidden behind an elegant nineteenth-century entrance, Galleria Subalpina offers a quieter side of Turin that many visitors overlook. Beneath its beautiful glass roof, independent cafés, boutique shops and intricate mosaic floors have welcomed locals for generations, making it one of the city's most charming hidden passages.

Piazza Carignano played a defining role in Italy's unification as the home of the country's first parliament. Framed by beautiful Baroque architecture, the square balances national history with a relaxed atmosphere, where locals gather at historic cafés beneath one of Turin's most distinctive façades.

Known as Turin's drawing room, Piazza San Carlo has been a place to meet, celebrate and slow down for centuries. Historic cafés that once welcomed writers, artists and politicians still line the square today, preserving a café culture that remains an enduring part of everyday life in the city.

Stretching towards the River Po, Via Po is one of Turin's most recognisable streets. Its uninterrupted arcades were designed so royalty could walk comfortably through the city in every season, while today they're lined with bookshops, cafés and independent businesses that reflect Turin's creative and intellectual character.

No building defines Turin's skyline quite like the Mole Antonelliana. Originally commissioned as a synagogue, changing plans transformed it into one of the tallest masonry buildings ever constructed and the city's enduring symbol. Tickets to enter are not included.

The streets of the Quadrilatero Romano still follow the grid laid out by the Romans more than two thousand years ago. Today, artisan workshops, neighborhood wine bars and family-run restaurants have breathed new life into one of Turin's oldest districts, making it a favorite place to experience the city's authentic local character.
