Useful tips
- Indossa calzature pratiche adatte alla camminata su sampietrini e pavé: il centro di rilievo storico di Torino è splendido ma il fondo stradale può essere irregolare, in particolare nelle zone più antiche.
- Considera di riservare il tour nelle prime ore del mattino o nel tardo pomeriggio: la luce sulle facciate barocche è mozzafiato e le strade sono meno affollate di turisti e traffico.
- Prima o dopo il tour, concediti una sosta in uno dei caffè storici torinesi — Caffè Al Bicerin o Caffè Torino in piazza San Carlo — per assaggiare il famoso bicerin o un cioccolato caldo: fa parte dell'esperienza cittadina.
