The charm of the historic center

Walking through the historic center of Turin, one has the impression of crossing different eras: from the Roman streets laid out in a grid pattern to the baroque squares surrounded by elegant porticos.

The beating heart of the city, the area between Piazza Castello, Via Roma, and Piazza San Carlo offers a concentration of history, architecture, and city life.

Here, you can find some of the city's iconic landmarks: the Royal Palace, the former residence of the Savoy family, the Church of San Lorenzo with its dizzying dome, and the Cathedral that houses the famous Shroud of Turin.

But the historic center is also made of small details: hidden courtyards, antique bookstores, craft shops, and cafés that seem suspended in time. Perfect for a leisurely walk, discovering the most authentic side of Turin.
