The guided tour does not end inside the museum, but continues with a trip upwards to admire Turin from a very particular perspective thanks to the panoramic elevator of the Mole Antonelliana. Made of transparent crystal, the elevator reaches the "temple" of the Mole placed at 85 meters height in less than a minute. From here you can enjoy an enchanting view of the city of Savoy, the historic buildings, the beautiful squares and the large avenues. To close in beauty!

The tour includes a guided tour of the Museum of Cinema, the priority entrance ticket to the museum and the ticket for the panoramic lift (not a priority one, there might be a bit of a waiting). The tour is available, as well as in Italian, also in English. The meeting place is located in Via Montebello 11 / C.
