I recommend taking accumulator tickets if you have more days at your disposal. Ask for tourist information

A wonderful place. Basically, all of Turin is wonderful, its buildings are ancient, and there is an architectural masterpiece in every street. I highly recommend visiting it.

I recommend taking the whole day to visit it, 3.4 hours is not enough.
I really appreciated it, the entrance and the armor room are stunning.
In my opinion it is even better than the Egyptian museum!

The palace is fantastic and worth the price of admission alone. The archaeological and painting exhibits are a bonus and excellent. The gardens are nothing special especially when not in bloom, so certainly not the main attraction but they can be useful for resting before returning to the center and eating the good things that the phenomenal bars like San Carlo have available. ..

Turin is a city located in the Piedmont region of northern Italy, known for its rich history, culture, and art. The city was once the site of the royal residence of the House of Savoy, and its many museums, palaces, squares and churches testify to its glory days.
Of particular note is the Armory in Turin. Valuable weapons and armor collected from all over the world are on display here, and the set of armor that was a gift from Emperor Meiji is especially must-see. These exhibits symbolize the historical ties between Japan and Italy and are of great value as proof of international friendship.
When visiting the Armory of Turin, also look out for age discounts on admission prices. For young people, this discount makes it easier to explore history and culture. Whether it's an educational experience or a fun time with family and friends, this facility is an attractive destination for many people.

Spectacular! Above all the museum, the Savoy collection is by far one of the most beautiful collections in the world!! The only negative note is the staff in the rooms who are mainly busy chatting, it would be nice to see people every now and then doing their utmost to give advice or collect the dirt on the ground in Italian museums, the disinterest of those who work there and the gravest humiliation for our treasures which feed so many.

It is the most important among the Savoy residences in Piedmont because it was the fulcrum of the court of the Royal House, symbol of the power of the dynasty and, together with the other royal residences of the Turin belt, such as the Reggia di Venaria Reale, the Palazzina di Caccia di Stupinigi and the Valentino Castle is an integral part of the assets declared by UNESCO
as a World Heritage Site.
Since 2016 it has been included in the "Royal Museums" in combination with the Royal Armoury, the Chapel of the Holy Shroud, the Savoy Gallery and the Museum of Antiquities.
The Palace, intended as a ducal residence, was designed between the end of
Sixteenth century and the beginning of the seventeenth century
by Ascanio Vittozzi. Subsequently the works were entrusted, during the regency of Cristina of France, to Amedeo di Castellamonte.
Of majestic beauty is the Grand Staircase that leads to the Hall of the Swiss Guard with a painting that recalls the battle of San Quentin in 1557, the fundamental episode with which Emanuele Filiberto, known as Iron Head, returns to possession of the Duchy.
The rooms on the main floor are decorated with allegorical images celebrating the royal dynasty. Among the most beautiful and important there is certainly the Council Hall where on 4 March 1848 the Albertine Statute was signed, the first Constitutional Charter of the Kingdom of Sardinia which will remain in force until the promulgation of the Italian Constitution which took over a century later, on 1 January 1948.
Noteworthy for its beauty and artistic richness is the Daniel Gallery. Commissioned by Vittorio Amedeo II, it preserves numerous paintings depicting important figures such as Umberto I Biancamano, Amedeo VI known as the Green Count and Emanuele Filiberto.
On the vault, in a central position, the Viennese painter Daniel Seiter reaches the peak by creating the Exaltation of the Hero, where
the duke is welcomed into Olympus by Jupiter accompanied by some putti who offer him weapons and a shield with the head of Medusa, while he receives the apple from Mercury. Other figures enrich the allegory, such as Hercules raised by Minerva and Iris announcing the peace.
On the sides, in the large ovals, the Olympian Gods accompany the Hero, Apollo, intent on driving the chariot of the Sun and Aurora in the act of scattering flowers.
No less important is the Chapel of the Shroud of Guarino Guarini created to house the precious relic.
In the eighteenth century, the architect Filippo Juvarra from Messina created the famous "Scala delle Scissors" which is an imposing marble staircase, which seems to hover upwards with a light and sinuous spiral, which unloads all its weight on the adjacent walls, those of the wall exterior of the Palace, so as not to weigh excessively on the underlying wooden floor, which would hardly have supported the weight of the marble.
Going along it you reach the second floor which houses the Apartments of the Prince of Piedmont.

In visita ai musei reali, ci siamo fermati qui per pranzare ed è stata una sorpresa. Non è una semplice caffetteria. Hanno anche tramezzini, primi e secondi, oltre ai prodotti di pasticceria. Servizio eccellente!

All'interno di Palazzo Reale si trova questo caffè storico che merita sicuramente una visita, almeno per prendere un caffè. Buonissima la crema caffè.
