Torino is a city to be discovered on foot. Its 18 kilometres of porticoes — the longest in Europe — provide shelter from rain and sun, making every walk pleasant in any season.
Classic itinerary: from Piazza Castello to Piazza San Carlo. The walk starts in majestic Piazza Castello, the political heart of the city, overlooked by Palazzo Reale, Palazzo Madama and the Teatro Regio. From here, walking down Via Roma under the porticoes, you reach Piazza San Carlo, the "living room of Torino", with its twin churches and historic cafés. For those who want an expert guide, the private tour through the city's icons and secrets covers all the highlights.
Itinerary along the Po: from Valentino to Gran Madre. The Murazzi del Po, the riverbanks and the Parco del Valentino make up one of the most beautiful green walks in the city. You pass through the Borgo Medievale — a faithful reconstruction of a 15th-century Piedmontese village — and reach the Chiesa della Gran Madre di Dio, one of Torino's esoteric symbols.
The Quadrilatero Romano: nightlife and historic shops. This is the oldest quarter, where Roman streets weave between medieval and Baroque palazzi. Here you find artisan workshops, neighbourhood markets and the liveliest bars of Torino's evenings.
From Superga to the Torino hill. For those who don't mind the climb, the Basilica di Superga offers the most spectacular panorama of the city and the Alpine arc. You can go up via the historic rack railway or on foot through paths immersed in greenery. From up there, on clear days, the view stretches from Monviso to Monte Rosa.
