Full description
Discover the Royal Palace of Turin and the city's historic centre on a guided tour combining a palace visit and a walking tour.
Enjoy a truly immersive experience to discover Turin, combining a guided walking tour of the city with a visit to the Royal Palace, one of the most important residences of the House of Savoy in Piedmont. The first part of the tour is entirely dedicated to the Royal Palace, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, meeting in front of the entrance to the Royal Museums, discovering how this residence evolved from a bishop's palace to a ducal residence and finally became the royal home of the House of Savoy.
The tour includes the palace's sumptuous interiors, with the Swiss Guards' Hall and its meridian line traced on the floor, the Throne Room, the setting for crucial moments in Italian history, the Ballroom, the heart of social life at the Savoy court, and the famous Scissors Staircase, a masterpiece by architect Filippo Juvarra. The visit continues through the Royal Armoury, home to one of the world's most important collections of weapons and armour, and the Royal Library, which houses the famous self-portrait by Leonardo da Vinci.
The second part of the experience consists of a guided walking tour through the main streets and squares of the historic centre, with unmissable stops at Galleria Subalpina, Piazza San Lorenzo and Piazza San Carlo, some of the city's most picturesque views.
