Panoramic Lift
The Mole Antonelliana Tower's glass Panoramic Lift whisks you 85m up through the centre of the museum to the Mole's roof terrace in 59 seconds. Fair warning if you're even slightly prone to vertigo: it's suspended only by cables, so when you look out it's as if you're free-floating in space. The 360-degree views from the outdoor viewing deck are dazzling by day or night.

Parco Valentino
The 550,000-sq-m French-style Parco Valentino opened in 1856 and is filled day and night with joggers, promenaders and café goers (though take care on your own here late at night). A walk southwest along the Po river brings you to Castello del Valentino (closed to the public), a mock chateau built in the 17th century.

Piazza Castello
Turin's central square shelters a wealth of museums, theatres and cafés. Essentially baroque, the grand piazza was laid out from the 14th century to serve as the seat of dynastic power for the House of Savoy.

Pinacoteca Giovanni e Marella Agnelli
In addition to two striking Le Meridien hotels, the Lingotto Fiere houses the precariously perched 'treasure chest' rooftop gallery Pinacoteca Giovanni e Marella Agnelli, with masterpieces by Canaletto, Renoir, Manet, Matisse and Picasso, among others.

Rocca
A little further southwest is Borgo Medievale, which includes the faux- medieval Rocca and village. They were built for the Italian General Exhibition in 1884.
