The best terraces in Turin

From these spaces you can see the city, the hills and, with a clear sky, the mountains. It is not, however, a public terrace with free access: the view is enjoyed through the restaurant services or during initiatives that allow access to the upper floors.

A lunch or dinner at the gourmet restaurant, or a cocktail at the lounge bar higher up: these are two different ways of experiencing this terrace, depending on the services available. By day, if the sky is clear, the mountains stand out more clearly. After sunset, instead, it is the pattern of Turin's lit-up streets that draws the eye.

The detail we like is the small roof garden with aromatic plants, including lavender: here the scent of greenery is added to the view. It is an intimate setting, different from the larger and busier terraces of the big hotels.

The Carlina Restaurant & Bar completes the offer with breakfasts, contemporary cuisine and cocktails. For aperitifs and evenings on the terrace, it is the hotel that sets the arrangements for access and booking.

In the warm season it is a place to stop with a cocktail, a craft beer or a glass of Piedmont wine, looking down also on the neighbourhood around the station.

The hotel also houses Les Petites Madeleines, the restaurant led by chef Giuseppe Lisciotto, who reworks Piedmont and Italian cuisine in a contemporary key. Aperitifs and drinks on the terrace depend on the availability communicated by the hotel.

On the terrace you will find the restaurant and lounge bar areas: an option for dining or having a cocktail outdoors during the warm season. If you are looking for a place to spend the evening without going too far from the banks of the Po, keep it in mind.

You could start with an aperitif or dinner and carry on with music until late in the evening. Azhar in fact combined dining with the dinner club formula, with musical events and entertainment during the warm season.

We tell you about it in the past tense because in September 2026 Azhar closed down for good. The terrace can no longer be visited and the venue therefore cannot be a destination for your evening.

The cuisine ranged across various Mediterranean and Middle Eastern traditions: tapas, platters, hummus and Greek specialities, also accompanied by organic teas and infusions. It was a place to stop for something to eat or drink, away from the bustle of the streets below.

The business at this address, however, appears to be closed, so the terrace is not currently a destination you can visit.

After the transformation of the complex, designed by Renzo Piano, the track became the Pista 500: since 2022 it has housed a roof garden and an open-air exhibition route, curated by the Pinacoteca Agnelli, with contemporary art installations. Access follows the Pinacoteca's visiting arrangements.

The contrast makes up much of the charm of this stop: on top of a building conceived to produce and test cars there is now a green space, and the ramps and the track hold the two eras together without needing much explanation. If the track looks familiar, it is because in 1969 the Mini chase of The Italian Job was filmed here: we talk about it in the itinerary <a href="/en/itineraries-in-turin/cinematic-turin-22/">Cinematic Turin.

Here the terrace is not that of a hotel or a restaurant. You can walk along part of the old circuit, find the banked curves where the cars under testing used to pass and come across the contemporary works. It is not a place designed around the aperitivo: the visit is above all about the recovery of an industrial space, now open to the public as a place of art and landscape.

In the warm season you can also use the pool and the hot tubs, but the venue can be visited for a cocktail, lunch or dinner even when the pool is not in operation.

Bear in mind that the pool services have their own access and booking arrangements, separate from those of the restaurant and the bar.

It is not a raised terrace from which to look at the city's rooftops. Here the view is of the river, away from the busiest roads, in a setting particularly suited to the warm season.

You do not need to be a member of a private club to get in. From our B&B, moreover, it is one of the most convenient destinations to reach with a walk.

Here you can stop for a drink or a bite to eat, or take part in the music events and meetings hosted in the spaces of the complex.

All around is a district of industrial origin, today the subject of many regeneration and building-reuse projects. A stop at the garden can be a chance to get to know a less touristy part of Turin.

Its position along the banks of the Po was what set it apart from the nightclubs in the more central parts of Turin. You could spend the first part of the evening outdoors and then carry on with the music, which took centre stage in the later hours.

The Kogin's Club is now permanently closed. It is therefore no longer possible to visit the terrace or to consider it a destination for a night out in the city.
