What people say

"Piazza San Carlo is often referred to as “the hall of Turin” as it has been a popular meeting place for locals since it was built in the 17th century. it's filled with couples relaxing on benches, children playing around the base of the statue of Duke Emmanuel Philibert, and tourists passing by to reach the nearby Egyptian Museum. The square also hosts important public events, including New Year's Eve celebrations and live broadcasts of the city's beloved Juventus football matches. Piazza San Carlo is a highlight of many Turin private and small group walking tours or hop-on hop-off bus tours that visit the city's top attractions. Other sights can include the Duomo, the Royal Palace and the Mole Antonelliana."
