Turin for Business Travellers: Work and Elegance in Piedmont's Capital is a curated one-day experience in Turin with 5 activities: Piazza Castello and Palazzo Madama, Egyptian Museum of Turin, Mole Antonelliana and Cinema Museum, Bicerín at Caffè Al Bicerin and 1 more. Estimated duration: 8h. Price range: Free.
Turin is one of Italy's most elegant and underrated cities for combining business trips with exceptional leisure experiences. Capital of Piedmont and Italy's first unified capital, this city has reinvented itself from its FIAT-linked industrial past into a hub of innovation, design and gastronomy. Its wide porticoed avenues — over 18 kilometres of arcades, the longest in Europe — invite you to stroll among baroque and art nouveau buildings. This bleisure experience is designed for professionals visiting Turin for work who want to discover the soul of a city that blends northern Italian efficiency with Mediterranean warmth.
Turin has established itself as one of northern Italy's most important business hubs, home to major corporations like Stellantis, Lavazza and Reply, plus a vibrant startup ecosystem at the OGR-CRT innovation district.
This bleisure experience takes you from the city's most inspiring workspaces to its most iconic corners. Start at Piazza Castello, Turin's monumental heart, where Palazzo Madama and Palazzo Reale compete in grandeur. Then, visit the Museo Egizio — the most important Egyptian antiquities collection outside Cairo.
In the afternoon, a stroll under the arcades to the Mole Antonelliana, the city's symbol housing the National Cinema Museum, offers Turin's finest panorama with the Alps as backdrop. The day ends with a bicerín — Turin's legendary coffee, chocolate and cream drink — at a historic café, followed by a Barolo and Barbaresco tasting at a downtown enoteca.
Daily Itinerary
Piazza Castello and Palazzo Madama
Piazza Castello is Turin's monumental heart, a grand space surrounded by buildings spanning centuries of Piedmontese history. At its centre stands Palazzo Madama, an architectural gem fusing Roman remains from the 1st century with a baroque façade designed by Filippo Juvarra in 1718. Today it houses the Museo Civico d'Arte Antica, with collections from the Middle Ages to the Baroque. For the business traveller, the square is the perfect starting point: surrounded by historic cafés with wifi, steps from major hotels and Via Roma's shopping district. The Palazzo Reale, the Savoy residence and UNESCO World Heritage Site, sits right next door.

Egyptian Museum of Turin
Turin's Museo Egizio houses the world's most important collection of Egyptian antiquities outside Cairo, with over 40,000 pieces spanning from the Palaeolithic to the Coptic era. Founded in 1824, it was the world's first museum dedicated exclusively to Egyptian civilisation. Highlights include the intact Tomb of Kha and Merit (3,400 years old), the Royal Canon of Turin papyrus, and the Gallery of Kings with colossal statues of Ramesses II. The 2015 renovation by Oscar-winning architect Dante Ferretti transformed the visit into an immersive experience. Allow at least two hours. Online booking recommended. Just 5 minutes' walk from Piazza Castello.

Mole Antonelliana and Cinema Museum
The Mole Antonelliana is Turin's unmistakable symbol, a 167.5-metre tower designed by Alessandro Antonelli in 1863 that was for decades the world's tallest masonry building. Today it houses the National Cinema Museum, one of the world's most innovative. The museum spans five floors connected by a helical ramp inside the dome, with interactive exhibitions from 18th-century optical experiments to Hollywood blockbusters. The glass panoramic lift rises through the building's heart to a viewing terrace at 85 metres: from there, the view spans all of Turin with the full Alpine arc as backdrop. Visit at sunset when the snowy peaks turn pink.

Bicerín at Caffè Al Bicerin
The bicerín is Turin's most iconic drink, a layered combination of espresso, hot chocolate and cream served in a small glass. The best place to try it is Caffè Al Bicerin, founded in 1763 at Piazza della Consolata — one of Europe's oldest cafés, serving this secret recipe for over 250 years. The tiny venue with marble tables and gilded mouldings hosted Dumas, Nietzsche, Cavour and Puccini. The recipe has remained secret since the 18th century. Open Thursday to Tuesday, 8:30-19:30. Cash only. About 7 euros per cup.

Turin concentrates the best enotecas for tasting these wines without leaving the city. A guided tasting lets you compare Barolo from different vintages and producers, paired with Piedmontese cheeses, artisan grissini and Langhe hazelnut paste. Sommeliers explain the differences between the 11 Barolo communes and winemaking styles. Tastings last 1.5-2 hours, cost 30-60 euros for 5-7 wines and snacks. Perfect for afterwork networking.
