Walk up to the Santuario della Consolata. It is a profusion of baroque architecture from the 17th and 18th centuries. Arriving early lets you appreciate the details in the morning light without the noise.
14:06
Head just 1 minute away to Caffe al Bicerin. Order a Bicerin, the classic mix of coffee, hot chocolate, and cream. Be aware that this place is pricey and can have long queues, so going now helps avoid the rush.
14:46
Stroll 6 minutes to Porta Palazzo. This is a big street and indoor market selling food produce, clothes, and handicrafts. It is a vibrant place to wander and soak in the local atmosphere.
15:46
End your walk at the Fondazione Merz. It is a contemporary art center hosting visual art, music, and educational activities. Spend some time exploring the exhibitions as the afternoon light begins to fade.
