    Focacceria Lagrange

    Pick up a warm, crispy focaccia from Focacceria Lagrange. It is fast service and mostly takeaway, perfect for a quick bite before you start walking.

  2. 14:15

    Mole Antonelliana

    Walk 33 minutes west to the Mole Antonelliana. This towering landmark was originally intended as a synagogue but grew too large and costly for the Jewish community, who never used it. Now it is Turin's most recognizable silhouette.

  3. 14:45

    Caffè Fiorio

    Head back toward the center for 6 minutes to Caffè Fiorio. Sit in this swanky old-style cafe to enjoy desserts and ice cream. The decor is grand, even if the service is just reliable.
