Walk 47 minutes from Pastiglie Leone to the Mole Antonelliana. This is Turin’s landmark 167.5-metre tower. Arrive early to find a good spot on the grounds or nearby steps to watch the sky change.

Watch the sun set toward the WSW. The golden light fades into twilight as the Mole’s silhouette stands against the darkening sky.

Walk 6 minutes to Caffè Fiorio. This swanky old-style café is perfect for desserts and ice cream to celebrate the end of the day. Note that service quality varies, but the decor is timeless.
