The best philosophy and literature cafés Turin

A favorite. Tucked away in a historic palace a stone's throw from Piazza Carignano, il Circolo dei lettori is a real Turin gem. To get there, pass through the large gate on Via Bogino, enter the courtyard and turn left along the red carpet. Once you're on the right floor, you'll find yourself in a large space with several majestically decorated rooms. Here, you can talk literature, drink tea... The bar is inspired by Mordecai Richler's Barney's World.
