Royal Palace of Turin

Hidden Gem! The mostly plain exterior is a facade to the true beauty and grandeur held within!. I was shocked when I first stepped inside and saw the grand staircase. My awe continued throughout the palace as each new room seemed to continually upstage the last. The work is gorgeous, the details are magnificent. There is so much to see and such a storied history of the family who built the city and the palace. A must see destination for your visit to Turino!

This excellent experience in beautiful Turin is a must-see. There can be a certain line up to buy the tickets but once you are in, the place does not feel crowded as it is plenty big. It is very well kept, and you have a glance into Italian royalty and their lifestyle. The building itself if very beautiful and so are the gardens… A great experience in Turin. So much to see. make sure you leave a few hours at least to do it justice. The antiquities museum was well done and the armoury was incredibly extensive.

While the Savoys may have built this palace to compete with Vienna and Versailles, it doesn't really come close. The tour is short, but the rooms are quite opulent. This is a must-see from an historical perspective,We contemplated booking a tour with a guide but the cost would have been $124 for two people for 2&1/2 hours.

So impressive! What a sightseeing find. We had a few hour layover in Turin, and I am so happy we stopped. The art and artifacts are incredible. Seeing the Shroud of Turin at the end was so moving. I loved the armor and armory rooms with all the swords.

You should really make time to visit this wonderful palace while in Turin. You will need a few hours though as it is simply huge. The approach to the Palace, through the Piazza Castello, gives you a good idea of what is to come. Your visit should start in the stunning general palace rooms (throne rooms, ballrooms, chambers, etc.) which is self-guided. We were lucky to time our visit just right to be able to join an English guided tour of the Visiting Diplomat's and the Queen's quarters. The tour, given by the very knowledgeable Fredrica, was amazing. The Savoys certainly knew how to do style ! During the self-guided tour you will visit the massive Palace Armoury... just amazing. Don't miss the dome area of the Cathedral of St John the Baptist where the Turin Shroud was originally held. Once you are finished in the rooms, you can move onto the gallery section which includes room after room of paintings. The is also the library section to visit. All excellent.
