Program of the excursion city tour of Turin:

​

During this tour I will introduce you to the main highlights and facts of the history of Turin: from the founding of the city by the Romans to the age when it became the capital of the Italian automobile passing through the 10-century-long rule of the House of Savoy.

We will also discover the modern Turin and its recent transformation into a center of contemporary art and a cultural reference worldwide.

Turin’s gastronomic delights, such as chocolate, and Piedmont's cuisine will not leave you indifferent.

We will visit the main attractions of the city, such as (for the last three ones would have to be arranged additional transportation):
 

• Roman ruins;

• Castle Square (the heart of Turin) with the Royal Palace and the Palace of the Queen (from the outside);

• The Church of St. Lawrence, where the Holy Shroud was initially guarded;

• The Tower (Mole) Antonelliana, symbol of Turin (from the outside);

• The Carignano Palace (from the outside)  and its Square, birthplace of the first king of a united Italy;

• Piazza San Carlo ("Place Royale"), Turin’s main baroque city square;

• The Hill of the Cappuccini with its unique panorama;

• The Basilica of Superga;

• The Medieval Old Town along the river PO, a surprising place that puts together Piedmont’s medieval architecture.

 

but I'm always happy to adjust the itinerary according to your interests.
