Turin's open-air attractions — Piazza Castello, Piazza San Carlo, the Po riverside and the Basilica di Superga — are all fully walkable with a leashed dog. The famous Egyptian Museum and the Cinema Museum in Mole Antonelliana prohibit pets, but the city's 18 km of porticoes and several rooftop terraces offer substantial sightseeing without going indoors.

Piazza Castello and Palazzo Reale Gardens

Centro · Piazza Castello, 10122 Torino

Turin's monumental central square, flanked by the Royal Palace, the Royal Theatre and the porticoed Via Po. The free-access Giardini Reali behind the palace are fully dog-friendly on leash and offer a quiet escape from the city bustle.

🐾 Piazza and Giardini Reali: leash; Palazzo Reale interior: no pets🕐 Piazza 24/7; Giardini 09:00–19:30

💡 Enter the Giardini Reali from the Porta Palatina side for the most atmospheric approach — a short walk from the Quadrilatero cafés.

Po Riverside and Murazzi

Centro / Po · Murazzi del Po, 10124 Torino

The 10 km pedestrianised riverside from the Murazzi arches to the Borgo Medievale inside Parco del Valentino — one of Italy's longest continuous urban dog walks. Cafés, rowing clubs and sunset views of the Mole Antonelliana on the city skyline.

🐾 Leash required throughout🕐 24/7

💡 Start at the Murazzi at sunset — the arches and the river reflect the Mole in gold light, one of Turin's most photographed moments.
