    Caffe al Bicerin

    Grab a Bicerin at Caffe al Bicerin. This is the home of the classic Turinese drink made of coffee, hot chocolate, and cream. It is pricey and can have long queues, so go early to secure your spot and a seat.

  2. 19:44

    Mole Antonelliana

    Walk 11 minutes east from the landmark to the Mole Antonelliana. This 167.5-metre tower is Turin’s landmark. Find a spot nearby to watch the sun set toward the WNW, casting golden light over the city as the sky changes color.

  3. 20:34

    Focacceria Lagrange

    Walk 13 minutes to Focacceria Lagrange. After the sunset view, head here for light and crispy focaccia. The service is fast, and while mostly takeaway, there are a few tables inside and out to enjoy your snack.

Caffe al Bicerin is open until 19:30, which fits the late afternoon schedule. The Mole Antonelliana is a viewpoint, so no entry ticket is needed for the exterior view. Focacceria Lagrange is open until 21:00, well after the sunset.
