Landmarks 13

Must-see · 6

1
Mole Antonelliana
Turin's unmistakable symbol, a soaring 19th-century tower that houses the National Museum of Cinema. Ride the glass lift to the top for panoramic city views; book tickets online to skip the queue, and go early or late for softer light.
2
Egyptian Museum, Turin
One of the world's great Egyptology collections, second only to Cairo, with mummies, statues and papyri. Allow at least two hours; buy timed tickets in advance and avoid Monday closures.
3
Royal Palace of Turin
The opulent former residence of the House of Savoy, a UNESCO site with lavish halls and armories. Visit in the morning when it's quieter, and note that some areas require a guided tour.
4
La Venaria Reale
A vast baroque palace and garden complex on the city's edge, often called Italy's Versailles. Take the train or bus from Turin, and set aside a half-day to explore the gardens and exhibitions.
5
Basilica of Superga
A hilltop basilica with sweeping views over Turin and the Alps, reached by a historic rack railway or bus. Dress respectfully, and check opening hours as the church closes at midday.
6
Piazza Castello
The elegant heart of baroque Turin, lined with palaces and arcades. It's a natural starting point for a walking tour; come in the late afternoon for a coffee under the porticoes.
