Planning a visit to Turin? Whether you're a curious explorer or a lover of historic cities, this one-day itinerary is designed to help you experience some of the most fascinating sights the city has to offer.
And if you're still looking for a great place to stay – we’ve got you covered at the end
Morning: Walk through Valentino Park
Start your day at Parco del Valentino, one of Italy’s most beautiful public parks. Stroll along the Po River and discover the Medieval Village (Borgo Medievale), a fascinating reconstruction of a 15th-century village that feels like stepping into a fairy tale.
Photo tip: The drawbridge and tower make for the perfect medieval-style backdrop!
Late Morning: Mole Antonelliana & National Cinema Museum
Next stop: the iconic Mole Antonelliana, the unmistakable symbol of Turin. Inside, you’ll find the National Museum of Cinema, one of the best in Europe. Don’t miss the panoramic elevator to the top for stunning views over the city.
Did you know? The Mole was originally intended to be a synagogue. Today, it's one of the tallest brick buildings in Europe!
Lunch: Taste of Piedmont Cuisine
Take a break and enjoy some traditional Piedmont dishes at a local trattoria. We recommend trying:
Agnolotti del plin (small stuffed pasta)
Vitello tonnato (veal in tuna sauce)
And of course, the iconic Bicerin, a delicious hot drink made with coffee, chocolate, and cream
Afternoon: Piazza Vittorio & Monte dei Cappuccini Viewpoint
No visit is complete without a walk through Piazza Vittorio Veneto, one of the largest squares in Europe. Cross the river and climb up to the Monte dei Cappuccini – one of the best panoramic viewpoints in Turin, especially on clear days when the Alps are visible.
Bonus: Egyptian Museum or Elegant Shopping
Still have some energy left? Head to the world-famous Egyptian Museum, second only to Cairo’s, or stroll under the elegant arcades of Via Roma, filled with designer shops and charming cafés.
