Turin

City tour

2, 3 or 6 hours
Tour will start at Piazza Castello, the heart of the city, with its wonderful Baroque buildings, such as Palazzo Madama, Palazzo Reale, the Teatro Regio and St. Lorenzo’s royal church, one of the most beautiful churches in the world. Just behind the Palazzo Reale, there’s the Turin’s Cathedral.
You’ll reach Piazza Carignano, dominated by the facade of Palazzo Carignano, seat of the first Italian Parliament. Crossing its courtyard, you’ll discover the new wing of the Palace, that is nowadays the seat of the Museo del Risorgimento.
You’ll walk along Via Accademia delle Scienze where the Egyptian Museum - the second most important museum on Egyptian civilization after the collection housed in Cairo - stands. Piazza San Carlo is considered "Turin’s living room" because of its elegance: you’ll see there the statue of Emanuele Filiberto, Duke of Savoy, the one that moved the Duchy’s capital from Chambéry in France, thus starting the growth and the transformation of the city.

Turin Shroud and Cristina Turin

Currently, only the living Pope can authorize a public exposition of the Shroud.
Proposed tour goes on the central squares of the city, the church of St. Lawrence and the Cathedral of Turin and will allow pilgrims and visitors to discover its history and historical significance.

During your stroll through Torino's city center you will stop in a historic caffè to experience bicerin, traditionally paired with excellent gourmet chocolate and pastries.

From there you can reach the Medieval Garden, a heaven of nature and silence in the heart of Turin; the ground floor is mainly devoted to the fifteenth-century castle and to the art of the Middle Ages and of the Renaissance. In the Treasure Tower, you will find the Portrait of a Man by Antonello da Messina.
