Timeline

  1. 18:44

    Lab Vittorio

    Start at Lab Vittorio, a small lively bar just a short walk from the church. Order a cocktail and some tapas to enjoy while the late afternoon light is still bright.

  2. 19:29

    Chiesa della Gran Madre di Dio

    Walk to the Chiesa della Gran Madre di Dio. Find a spot on the steps or the nearby pavement facing west. The neo-classical facade stands at the end of the Vittorio Emanuele I bridge, framing the view down the Po as the sky turns pink and orange.

  3. 21:14

    Caffè Fiorio

    After the light fades, head to Caffè Fiorio for a famous Turin tradition. This swanky old-style cafe is the place for desserts and ice cream. It stays open late, so you can linger over a sweet treat as the city lights come on.
