Morning (09:00 - 11:30)

Museo Egizio

Start at the Museo Egizio (€18.00, online-only ticket) right at opening (09:00) to see the Tomb of Kha and Merit and the Statue Gallery before tour groups arrive. There is no walk-up box office, so book online before you go.

Duration: 2 - 2.5 h

Midday (11:45 - 13:00)

Piazza Castello & Palazzo Madama

Walk to Piazza Castello, Turin's grand central square, to see the exterior of Palazzo Madama (a separate museum) and Palazzo Reale's Piazzetta Reale entrance gate with its bronze Dioscuri statues.

Duration: 1 - 1.5 h

Travel: 8 min walk from the Museo Egizio

Afternoon (13:15 - 14:30)

Piazza San Carlo

Finish with a relaxed afternoon at Piazza San Carlo, Turin's elegant Baroque 'drawing room' square, lined with historic cafés — a good spot to try bicerin, Turin's traditional chocolate-coffee-cream drink.

💡 Practical Tips & Recommendations

• Museo Egizio tickets sell out on busy weekends and during school holidays — book your specific time slot online several days ahead.
• Torino+Piemonte Card holders skip the online-booking step for the Egizio and just show up with the card, but confirm current entry procedure on the card's official page before you go.

Day 2: Musei Reali Complex & the Sacra Sindone Chapel

Open in Google Maps

Morning (09:00 - 11:30)

Palazzo Reale & the Musei Reali complex

Enter via Piazzetta Reale for the single unified Musei Reali ticket (€15.00), covering the Dynastic Apartment, the Armeria Reale, the Sabauda Gallery, and the Museum of Antiquities. Remember this complex is closed on Wednesdays.

Tickets: Not mandatory to reserve in advance; closed Wednesdays.

Duration: 2 - 2.5 h

Late morning (11:30 - 12:00)

Cappella della Sacra Sindone

Continue within the same Musei Reali ticket to Guarini's Baroque Chapel of the Holy Shroud — remember the Shroud itself is not here, only the architectural chapel built to house it.

Tickets: Included in the same Musei Reali admission; no separate ticket exists.

Duration: 20 - 30 min

Travel: Same complex, internal walk

Afternoon (12:15 - 13:00)

Turin Cathedral (Duomo di Torino)

Step next door to the free-entry Duomo, where the actual Shroud has been kept in a protective case in the last chapel of the left nave since 1993 — a short but meaningful stop after the chapel itself.

Tickets: Free entry, no reservation; note the midday closure 12:30-15:00.

Duration: 30 - 45 min

Travel: 3 min walk from Palazzo Reale

Route Map — Day 2

📍 Pinned landmarks on map:

💡 Practical Tips & Recommendations

• The whole Musei Reali complex, including the Sacra Sindone chapel, is closed on Wednesdays — plan this day for any other weekday.
• The Duomo closes at midday (12:30-15:00) for a break — arrive before 12:30 if you want to see it right after the chapel.

Duration: 1 - 1.5 h

Travel: 5 min walk across the Po river bridge

Route Map — Day 3

📍 Pinned landmarks on map:

1. Mole Antonelliana 2. Piazza Vittorio Veneto 3. Gran Madre di Dio

💡 Practical Tips & Recommendations

• The Torino+Piemonte Card makes the museum free but only discounts the panoramic lift (not free) — budget for the lift separately even with the card.
