Visit the Murazzi del Po promenade
Best time to visit
Late afternoon through sunset for the golden light on the river and the lively atmosphere when locals come out for their evening stroll. Summer evenings are especially magical with pop-up aperitivo spots along the walkway.
Budget tips
Completely free to walk, cycle, or relax along the promenade. Bring your own drink and snacks to enjoy on the steps like a local, or grab a budget-friendly aperitivo from the seasonal kiosks for around 5-8 euros.

About
Quick facts: Stretching nearly 2 kilometers along the Po River, this promenade was built in the 1930s and locals flock here for evening passeggiata like clockwork. The wide brick-paved walkway sits just above the waterline, making you feel like you're practically skimming across the river surface.
Highlights: Come at sunset when the entire walkway glows amber from the light bouncing off the river, and you'll see why locals call this their open-air living room. The way the Murazzi curves along the water creates a strange optical illusion where the river appears to bend around you as you walk.
Insider tips
- Start your walk from the Ponte Vittorio Emanuele I side for the best views stretching toward the hills.
- Bring a thin scarf or jacket even in summer: the breeze off the river picks up sharply after sunset.
- The steps near the Murazzi del Po nightclub area offer the best people-watching perch around 7 PM.
- Skip the weekends if you prefer a quieter stroll; weekday evenings are much more peaceful.
