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.
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.
💡 Enter the Giardini Reali from the Porta Palatina side for the most atmospheric approach, a short walk from the Quadrilatero cafés.
The 18th-century baroque basilica crowning the Superga hill, with panoramic views over Turin and the Alps. Leashed dogs are welcome on the outdoor terrace and the surrounding forest trails; the interior itself does not admit pets.
💡 Take the vintage Sassi-Superga rack railway on Saturdays or Sundays (dogs accepted with €1 supplement), the vintage train itself is a sightseeing experience.
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.
💡 Start at the Murazzi at sunset, the arches and the river reflect the Mole in gold light, one of Turin's most photographed moments.
