Description

The tour begins above ground, in the historic heart of the city, where the guide sets the context for what you're about to discover. The 18th-century underground galleries were an integral part of Torino's urban life, used for practical, logistical and at times defensive purposes.

Descending into the tunnels, the atmosphere changes completely: the light fades, the temperature drops and the walls begin to speak. Every turn tells something different — from Savoy engineering to everyday life in distant eras.

Wartime Shelters and Underground Echoes

Perhaps the most moving section is dedicated to the air-raid shelters of the Second World War. Built to protect the population from bombing, these spaces still transmit a silent, powerful tension hard to put into words.

The tour runs in small groups, ensuring an intimate, immersive experience. The guide is well-prepared, passionate and able to bring even the most technical historical details to life. By the end you'll come back to the surface with an entirely new way of looking at Torino. Knowing the city from below changes how you admire it from above.

  • Prenota preventivamente su GetYourGuide: i posti a disposizione sono limitati per mantenere piccoli i gruppi e i tour vanno spesso esauriti, specialmente nei weekend e in alta stagione.
