Activity itinerary

Cattedrale di San Giovanni Battista

The Cathedral of Saint John the Baptist is the main place of worship in Turin and the city’s only example of Renaissance architecture. Inside it houses the famous Chapel of the Holy Shroud, a Baroque masterpiece by Guarino Guarini and a UNESCO World Heritage Site, which preserves the most renowned relic linked to Christian tradition: the cloth believed to have wrapped the body of Christ. With its extraordinary stone structure and dramatic play of light, the chapel stands as one of the most important spiritual symbols of Turin.

Palazzo Reale Di Torino

The Royal Palace of Turin is one of the most important historic residences of the House of Savoy and a symbol of the monarchical power of the Kingdom of Sardinia. It is a refined example of Baroque architecture, featuring sumptuous interiors, richly decorated state rooms, and original furnishings that bear witness to court life. Today it is part of the Savoy Royal Residences, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and represents one of the most significant landmarks in Italian political and cultural history ( external visit )

Piazza Castello

Piazza Castello is the historic heart of Turin, a large and elegant square surrounded by some of the city’s most important buildings. It is home to the magnificent Palazzo Madama, an extraordinary structure combining a medieval core with a Baroque façade, and the prestigious Teatro Regio, one of Italy’s most renowned opera houses. The square has always represented the centre of Turin’s political and cultural power, where history, art, and city life come together in a single, striking urban space ( external visit )

Piazza San Carlo

Piazza San Carlo is one of Turin’s most elegant squares, often called the “living room of the city” for its harmonious arcades and refined atmosphere. At its centre stands the equestrian monument to Emanuele Filiberto of Savoy, while on either side are the twin churches of Santa Cristina and San Carlo Borromeo, framing the space with their striking symmetry. Surrounded by historic cafés and noble palaces, the square is a lively and symbolic meeting point of Turin’s city life.

Museo Egizio

The Egyptian Museum of Turin is one of the most important museums in the world dedicated to Ancient Egypt and the oldest Egyptian museum after the one in Cairo. It houses an extraordinary collection of artefacts, including monumental statues, sarcophagi, papyri, and funerary objects that tell over 4,000 years of history. Its exhibitions offer a fascinating journey into Egyptian civilisation, among pharaohs, deities, and burial rituals, making it one of Italy’s most prestigious cultural attractions ( external visit )

Mole Antonelliana

The Mole Antonelliana is the undisputed symbol of Turin, an imposing structure with a unique and unmistakable architecture that dominates the city skyline. Designed in the 19th century, it is distinguished by its extremely tall spire and its bold eclectic style that combines different architectural elements. Originally conceived as a synagogue, it now houses the National Museum of Cinema, one of the most important in Europe, offering a fascinating journey through the history and evolution of the seventh art ( external visit )
