It forms one of the axes of Turin together with Via Roma and Piazza Castello, very beautiful buildings and shops under the arches make this tour a very pleasant walk. Perfect travel to go shopping and have a coffee or an ice cream. Turin is a city full of very beautiful and pleasant squares.View original -

Arrived by train from Milan you walk down to Piazza San Carlo, meanwhile we watch shops offering everything and more. Eye in purchasing prices are not competitive at all. When you reach piazza sat in a bar with tables on the square where we watched people walk around shopping in different shops. Nice very nice.View original -

Events venue like ChocolaTO and Jazz Festival, the square is located in the middle of Via Roma. From Piazza Castello to Piazza Vittorio, it is above the natural path of tourists and residents. In the center there is a statue of Emanuele Filiberto.
