Romantic Locations in Turin for Outdoor Lovers

1. Parco del Valentino & Borgo Medioevale

This riverside park offers shady paths, lush gardens, and the storybook Borgo Medioevale. Propose by the river or in the medieval village for a fairytale moment. It’s peaceful, whimsical, and romantic.

2. Piazza San Carlo

Known as Turin’s “living room,” this square is surrounded by arcades and historic churches. Propose at dusk when the square glows with soft lights. It’s refined, classic, and elegant.

3. Mole Antonelliana

The Mole Antonelliana is Turin’s most iconic landmark, with its soaring spire dominating the skyline. A ride on the panoramic lift reveals sweeping views of the entire city, especially breathtaking at sunset. Proposing here feels cinematic, bold, and unforgettable.

4. Piazza Castello & Palazzo Reale

Piazza Castello is the historic heart of Turin, framed by grand arcades and the majestic Royal Palace. Proposing here surrounds you with regal architecture and centuries of history, creating a setting full of elegance and drama. At night, the softly lit square adds even more romance, making your moment unforgettable.

5. Po Riverbank

The riverside at sunset glows with city reflections and soft light. A simple stroll can turn into a perfect proposal. It’s peaceful, natural, and heartfelt.

6. At-Home

Sometimes the most heartfelt proposals happen right at home. In Turin, set the mood with string lights on the balcony or in the garden, a cozy dinner featuring local favorites like agnolotti pasta, gianduja chocolate, or a glass of Piedmont wine, and a playlist with classic Italian love songs. Add thoughtful touches like candles, fresh flowers from a local florist, or even a glimpse of the Alps if you’re lucky, to create an atmosphere that feels personal, romantic, and authentically Turinese.

7. Budget-Friendly

A romantic proposal doesn’t require a luxury budget. Turin offers countless breathtaking spots that are free or low-cost yet incredibly special. Share a panoramic moment at Santa Maria al Monte dei Cappuccini, where the hilltop view of the city and Alps is unforgettable. Step into old-world elegance at Galleria Subalpina, with its glass ceiling and charming cafés creating a chic, intimate backdrop. Wander through the lively streets of Quadrilatero Romano, where historic arcades and cozy corners add character and warmth. Or propose with sweeping views from Superga Basilica, a peaceful escape above the city. For something serene, the Royal Palace Gardens (Giardini Reali) offer shaded paths and graceful fountains that feel timeless and romantic. These inviting locations prove that a memorable proposal doesn’t have to come with a high price tag.
