Two churches at one end of the square and at the sides there are shops and restaurants under covered walkways. The square is bustling and probably very full during summer

The most beautiful Piazza in Turin. Not too large but not too small, with a lovely elegant equestrian statue in the center. Bordered by lovely arcaded shops and cafes in lovely neo-classical architecture, and two churches at one end and the glamorous Via Roma at the other. In the center of town it is a must visit when exploring the city!

"Il salotto di Torino" or "Torino's lounge or drawing room", as Torinesi like to say. It's the vibrant and elegant square is the very center of the city. Less formal than Piazza Castello and the Piazzetta Reale, is the ideal place for a stroll or a break in one of the several historic cafes under its porticos.

Amazing vibes here, Just come over take a walk roam around with your best friend or you bae enjoy some cool architecture and art around that dates to Baroque and classical times with some random musicians playing their instruments in the background. It is a unique experience at all as the place invites everyone and engulfs you in it and leaves you free to roam around.

Beating heart of Turin! Full of cafés and fancy shops. Had the opportunity to see the coffee festival where I was high on free caffeine. You might pass by talented musicians, make sure to tip them as they give the place a special flavor

Good space for a walk. It's possible to take a coffee and traditional Turin' drink bichelin (coffee+Nutella+cream) and try different sweets.
