The Circolo Amici del Fiume canoe club is downtown located, close to the Gran Madre di Dio square and the Monferrato street pedestrian zone, great for shopping and restaurants.

Crossing Vittorio Emanuele bridge, you can reach easily the biggest European arcade square named Vittorio Veneto.
Walking along the Po street you reach the Royal Palace on Castello square. If shopping isn’t for you, an aperitif in one of the historical coffee bars can be a good idea.
Like go for ice cream at Fiorio, or a fine confectionery at Baratti & Milano or at Mulafsano to taste a “tramezzino” (a special sandwich born on this bar on 1926).

Carpano Antica Formula luxury drink is highly recommended. Luigi and Ottavio Carpano brothers invented the Vermouth aperitif on 1786.
