Turin city tours: walking, Torino Magica, night, hop-on hop-off, bike and private

Turin is a walking city because its baroque centre is compact and covered: 18 km of arcades link Porta Nuova station to Piazza Castello, Piazza San Carlo and Via Po almost without stepping into the rain. Walking tours of 2–2.5 hours (€20–35*) usually leave from Piazza Castello or Piazza San Carlo and take in Palazzo Madama, the Duomo, the Quadrilatero Romano and the historic cafés. It is the format we suggest for your first morning.

The most booked tour of all is Torino Magica, the evening walk through the city's esoteric side: Piazza Statuto, the Devil's Door on Via XX Settembre, the Fontana Angelica and the theory of the white and black magic triangles. It costs €30–40*, lasts about 2.5 hours and holds 4.6★ from 1,600+ reviews on GetYourGuide. Alternatives: night tours about crimes and old hospitals, the hop-on hop-off bus (€22–30*) to reach Superga and the Lingotto without buses, the e-bike tour along the Po and Valentino park (4.9★), and private tours from about €50* per person.

Museums and tickets: Egyptian Museum, Mole Antonelliana, Royal Palace, Shroud, Venaria

The Egyptian Museum is the oldest museum of Egyptian antiquities in the world, founded in 1824, and the largest collection outside Cairo: it justifies the trip on its own. Entry is by timed slot; small-group guided visits with skip-the-line cost €49–70* and are the most reviewed experience in Turin (4.8★). The Mole Antonelliana, 167.5 metres tall, houses the National Cinema Museum and a glass panoramic lift: two separate tickets, and the lift often sells out by mid-afternoon.

The Royal Museums, with the Royal Palace, Armoury and Galleria Sabauda, fill a morning (guided tour €49–60*, 4.9★). The Shroud is not on view outside expositions, but the restored Guarini chapel and the Museum of the Shroud always are. Outside the city, Venaria Reale, the UNESCO-listed Savoy palace, takes half a day and pairs with the Sacra di San Michele. Palazzo Madama, Underground Turin, the Lavazza Museum and the Fiat heritage centre each have their own ticket page here.

Food and wine tours: bicerin, gianduiotto, vermouth and the Langhe

Turin invented vermouth, the gianduiotto and the bicerin, and a three-hour food tour (€45–75*) is the fastest way to taste them in context: the historic cafés of Piazza della Consolata and Piazza San Carlo, the chocolate shops of the centre, Porta Palazzo market and the tramezzino, born at Caffè Mulassano. Tastings usually replace a meal, so book the 11–14 slot or the evening aperitivo version, which adds vermouth and grissini.

For wine the destination is the Langhe, a UNESCO landscape ninety minutes from the city: wine tours with two or three cellars around Barolo, Barbaresco and Roero cost €90–130* with transport from Turin, while tastings near Asti start at €39* (4.7★). From September to December, truffle hunting with a trifolao and his dog, followed by lunch, is the experience readers ask us about most (€80–120*). The Canavese and Monferrato hills offer the same format with fewer coaches.

Day trips from Turin, and Turin as a day trip from Milan

Four day trips from Turin make real sense. The Langhe for wine and truffles (above). Venaria Reale with the Sacra di San Michele, the abbey on the Pirchiriano spur that inspired The Name of the Rose: together in an 8-hour tour (€70–90*) they save two bus changes. Lake Maggiore with Stresa and the Borromean Islands, or the quieter Lake Orta, about 1.5 hours away (€110–130*). And for the sea, bus-and-train trips to the Ligurian coast, with the Riviera in 2–3 hours.

In the other direction, Turin is one of the easiest day trips from Milan: Frecciarossa and Italo take about an hour to Porta Susa, and half-day packages with the Egyptian Museum and transfer (€100–120*) exist precisely for people staying in Milan. When in doubt, the train on your own plus a morning walking tour and an afternoon at the Egyptian Museum costs less and leaves the evening free.

Things to do in Turin: what matters in one day or a weekend

Every list of things to do in Turin looks the same; the order is what changes the day. In one day: Egyptian Museum at 9, Piazza Castello and the Royal Palace mid-morning, Via Po and Piazza Vittorio for lunch, the Mole and its lift in the early afternoon, aperitivo in Piazza della Consolata or the Quadrilatero, Torino Magica in the evening. A weekend adds Venaria or Superga by the rack tramway, the Lingotto with its rooftop test track and the Automobile Museum, and a food walk.

Our one-day itinerary puts these stops in sequence, with the timed slots to book first (Egyptian Museum and the Mole lift) and the stretches to walk under the arcades. With children, the Automobile Museum, Valentino park and the Mole lift work best; in the rain, Turin is the Italian city where you spend least time outdoors.

Torino+Piemonte Card, airport transfers and other practical tickets

The Torino+Piemonte Card, valid 1 to 5 days (€29–60* on Tiqets), includes the Egyptian Museum, Royal Museums, Cinema Museum, Venaria Reale, Palazzo Madama and over a hundred sites across Piedmont; the Mole lift and the Superga tramway are discounted or extra. It pays off with three entries, but Egyptian Museum and Mole slots still need reserving. Note that the hop-on hop-off bus is not included.

From Caselle airport, 16 km from the centre, there are three routes: the SFM A train to Porta Susa and Dora, the bookable shuttle bus from about €5*, or private transfers from €40* per vehicle, sensible for three or four people or with luggage. From Milan Malpensa the choice is between a direct coach and the train via Milano Centrale. The tickets and passes page also covers GTT day tickets and the historic tram 7 loop.

How we choose Turin tours and the platforms we compare

tours.torino.it is an independent guide: it is not the official site of the Egyptian Museum, the Mole, the Royal Museums or any operator, and it sells nothing itself. On every page we list GetYourGuide first, because for Turin it has the widest catalogue, the most reviews and free cancellation up to 24 hours on most offers. Tiqets is our first choice for the Torino+Piemonte Card and for some guided museum slots. Headout is the fallback when the first two are sold out or lack the language you need.

Prices marked with an asterisk are bands observed on partner catalogues and checked regularly; the price that counts is the one at checkout. Ratings quoted are those published on the platforms, never ours. When a fact is uncertain, for instance Shroud exposition dates or holiday opening hours, we point you to the institution's website instead of guessing. On the operators page we introduce the local guides behind the tours we recommend most.

FAQ

Which Turin tour should I book for a first visit?

For a first visit we recommend a 2–2.5 hour walking tour of the historic centre (€20–35*): it covers Piazza Castello, Palazzo Madama, the Duomo with the Shroud chapel, the Quadrilatero Romano and a stretch of the 18 km of arcades. If you only have one evening, Torino Magica is the tour the city is known for. If you want to reach Superga or the Lingotto without public transport, the hop-on hop-off bus helps, but the compact centre is better on foot.

How much do tours in Turin cost?

Bands we see on partner catalogues: walking tours €20–35*, Torino Magica €30–40*, hop-on hop-off bus €22–30*, e-bike tours €40–50*, food tours €45–75*, Egyptian Museum with guide €49–70*, full-day Langhe wine trips €90–130*. Private tours start around €50* per person and drop with groups of four to six. All prices are indicative and checked regularly; the checkout price prevails.

What can I see in Turin in one day with a tour?

A realistic day: Egyptian Museum with a guide at 9 (two hours), Piazza Castello and the Royal Palace mid-morning, a tramezzino lunch or a food walk, the Mole Antonelliana with the Cinema Museum and glass lift in the early afternoon, Torino Magica in the evening. Our one-day itinerary explains which timed slots to book first, because the Egyptian Museum and the Mole lift are the two fixed points everything else fits around.

Do I need to book the Egyptian Museum in advance?

Yes, especially at weekends, on Italian holidays and between Christmas and Epiphany: entry is by timed slot and Saturday mornings sell out. Plain tickets are sold on the museum site or via Tiqets; small-group guided visits with skip-the-line on GetYourGuide and Tiqets cost €49–70*. The Torino+Piemonte Card includes entry, but you still have to reserve a slot.

Is the Torino+Piemonte Card worth it?

It pays off if you enter at least three paid museums: the Egyptian Museum, the Royal Museums, the Cinema Museum at the Mole, the Venaria Reale palace and Palazzo Madama are all included. The 1- to 5-day card costs €29–60* on Tiqets; the Mole lift and GTT transport are discounted or sold as a separate version. For one museum it is not needed; for a three-museum weekend it pays for itself on day one.

Can I see the Shroud of Turin?

Not on a normal visit. The Shroud is kept in Turin Cathedral, in the chapel behind the altar, and is only shown during extraordinary expositions announced by the Diocese. You can see the casket, visit the Museum of the Shroud on Via San Domenico and, on a walking tour, understand how it came to the Savoy court. Check the Diocese website for any scheduled exposition.

Which day trips from Turin are worth it?

The Langhe (Alba, Barolo, La Morra) are the most requested: full-day wine tours €90–130*, truffle hunting with tasting €80–120* in autumn. Venaria Reale and the Sacra di San Michele combine well in one day (€70–90*). Lake Maggiore with the Borromean Islands is about 1.5 hours away (€110–130*). From Milan, the Frecciarossa reaches Porta Susa in about an hour, so Turin itself works as a day trip.

How do you choose the tours you show?

GetYourGuide is our priority platform for tours because it has the widest Turin catalogue and free cancellation up to 24 hours on most offers; Tiqets for the Torino+Piemonte Card and some museum slots; Headout as a fallback when the other two are sold out. We are not the official site of any museum or operator and we do not invent reviews: the ratings quoted are the ones visible on the catalogues.
