Where to walk in Turin?
Local favorites that make an easy first meetup.
Piazza Castello
You meet under the porticoes in front of Palazzo Madama, the castle in the middle of the square. Turin's center is completely flat, and from here arcaded streets run in every direction, so you can build an easy two-kilometer loop along Via Po and back through the royal gardens. Porta Nuova and Porta Susa stations are both a short tram ride away. Late afternoons get busy with shoppers, and early morning is calm under the arcades. Finish with a bicerin, the local layered coffee, at one of the historic bars on the square.
Via Roma and Piazza San Carlo
You gather beside the bronze horse statue in the middle of Piazza San Carlo, one of the easiest meeting points in the city. The walk follows the covered porticoes of Via Roma, which keep you dry in any weather, from Porta Nuova station up to Piazza Castello, a flat kilometer and a half you can stretch with side streets. Saturday afternoons are packed with shoppers, so aim for a weekday morning. Afterward, take a table at Caffe San Carlo or Caffe Torino, two of the city's grand old coffee houses.
Mole Antonelliana
You meet at the base of the Mole on Via Montebello, under the spire you can see from the whole city. The surrounding streets are flat and surprisingly quiet, and a pleasant loop runs through the university quarter toward the Po riverbank and back, about two kilometers in forty five minutes. Weekday mornings are the calmest, before the museum queue forms in the afternoon. The Vanchiglia district next door has plenty of small cafes and bakeries for the group afterward, and trams stop within a couple of blocks.
Parco del Valentino
You meet at the main park gate on Corso Massimo d'Azeglio, a short ride from Porta Nuova station. Valentino is Turin's riverside park: flat gravel avenues along the Po, a castle at its heart, and a mock medieval village you can loop past. A full circuit runs three to four kilometers, about an hour at a social pace. Weekend afternoons fill with families and joggers, while on weekday mornings you nearly have it to yourselves. Afterward, the cafes of San Salvario sit right across the avenue from the park's north end.
Piazza Vittorio Veneto and the Po Riverfront
You meet at the river end of Piazza Vittorio Veneto, by the bridge facing the Gran Madre church. Cross it and follow the riverside path along the water, a flat out-and-back you can stretch to two or three kilometers toward the Valentino park. The huge square behind you is lined with porticoed cafes for afterward. Trams along Via Po run you back to the center in minutes. Evening aperitivo hour is the liveliest time on the square, and for a calm walk with mirror-still water you come on a weekday morning.

Frequently Asked Questions
How walkers in Turin find each other
The walking community in Turin is the people around Turin who use Walk With Me to walk together. You see their walks on the map, ask to join one, or post your own and let them find you.
A community like this doesn't need a club or a fixed Tuesday night. It works more like a noticeboard: someone posts a walk for Sunday morning, a few people nearby ask to join, and the host lets them in. Some walks turn into a weekly habit for the people on them, and others happen once, which is fine too.
This page exists because enough people who walk with the app live close together around Turin. A city gets a page once at least four people with public profiles, each within about 10 km of another, have used the app there in the last three months. The figures at the top come straight from the app and are rounded down to a range, so they never claim more walkers than there are.
Small communities move at the pace of whoever posts first. If the walks listed above are few or far off, a walk you create is the quickest way to change that. Start one live and walkers within about 10 km get a notification unless they've turned those alerts off, or plan one for later and it sits on the map for anyone looking ahead.
Walk With Me is free on iPhone and Android: the map, joining walks, creating your own and the friends list cost nothing. Add the people you enjoy walking with as friends, and next time you can filter the map to show just their walks. Your steps count on group walks too, so walking with them also moves you up the step rankings.
