Why go
This is a relaxed central walk for visitors who prefer the texture of streets and squares to a full museum day. Begin at Caffè al Bicerin, then move along Via Garibaldi to the Church of Santi Martiri. Palazzo Scaglia di Verrua adds a brief exterior architecture stop before the route turns south to Piazza San Carlo and Santa Cristina. The café and church visits can be leisurely while the street and palace are shorter pauses. You can give more time to the café or the square according to your mood, with the rest of the route staying close together.
