Piazza Vittorio Veneto is a major public square on the east bank of the Po River in Turin, in Italy’s Piedmont region. It is a broad, rectangular, riverfront plaza framed by uniform arcaded buildings and streets leading into the historic centre.

The square contains cafés, shops and long arcaded façades and functions as a social and urban focal point with direct views across the river to the opposite bank. Its size and regular plan make it one of Turin’s principal open spaces.

Piazza Vittorio Veneto sits along the Po River near Turin’s central districts and is easily reached from the city’s main transport hubs.

• Scale and riverfront location: The square is a large, regular plaza on the riverfront of Turin and is often described as one of the largest public squares in Europe.

Piazza Vittorio Veneto is in central Turin, within walking distance of the Porta Nuova and Porta Susa railway stations. Several tram and bus lines stop at or near the piazza.

• Stand on the raised edge of the piazza in late afternoon to see the cathedral façades glow in warm light.
• Visit nearby pedestrian streets for cafés favored by locals rather than tourist traps on the piazza itself.
• If catching public transit, use the Vittorio Venetto tram/bus connections for easy access.
