Not the fascinating grandeur of Versailles-there is only one-nor the baroque beauty of Tsarkoie Selo but still very much interesting with a lot of period rooms of the XVIIth century. Furniture is sometimes kitsch and the taste somehow bizzare but it gives a good idea of what this small kingdom's royal place looked like. A pity that the gardens are... More

The Royal Palace of Turin is definitely opulent and well kept but I did not learn that much from my visit as I may have expected, particularly about the lives and roles of the Savoy family kings in the history of Italy and Europe. Is definitely overstaffed and you are watched at every step to ensure don't take any photos,... More

The Royal Palace (Palazzo Reale) opend in 2011 other floors to the pubic due to the 150th anniversary of the unified Italy. Not sure, if these floors will also be open in the future. Very nice decorated and well preserved interiors. Watch out - don't take any pictures inside. They'll haunt you like dogs! Very nice guided tour, but for... More

The Royal Palace is not to be missed while visiting Turin. It is on Castello Square and there you can see the apartment of the king and queen of the Savoia dynasty, with rooms covered in silk tapestries and full of period furniture. If you buy the Turin Card, entrance to the palace is included. You may find queues at... More
