Definitely worth it! I would also recommend to splurge and do the tour with the guide. The palace is filled with art and history from the duchy of Piedmont to the Kingdom of Italy, the numerous french invasions, Napoleon and the emancipation of the Italian people into today’s Republic.Walk into the Royal gardens as well, those are free and locals do it in the weekends.
This ticket is accessible to all the buildings of the palace except the library (5 euros extra). The palace itself is impressive and well preserved. Next to it you can visit the amazing collection of the Royal Army. To be honest, my husband and I only liked the two buildings because we found the other parts quite monotonous.
That is, the palace of Turin. I wanted to just go around, after all, it is not as famous as Versailles, but I didn't expect the gorgeousness to exceed my imagination, and each room seemed to be trying to match gold with other colors. Even the interiors felt more gorgeous than Versailles, perhaps because of the gold and less crowded than Versailles.
Torino Palace is northeast of San Carlo Square and is within walking distance of Via Roma. The ticketing time for the Palace is 8:30, and go to the ticket office to buy tickets after opening at half past 30. The price is 12 euros. The opening time inside the palace is 9 o'clock. Before opening the door, you can go to the garden behind the palace to see. The garden is covered with green space and there is a small fountain in the middle. It is not luxurious, but very simple. By 9 o'clock, a large number of tourists had gathered at the entrance of the palace, and the staff waited until about 9:10 to open the door without panic and give a bad review to the unpunctual staff. The Palace of Turin is also called the Palace of the Savo, and has always been the residence of the Duke of Savo, the King of Italy and other royalty. The palace is luxuriously built, and the rooms are decorated in accordance with the taste of the Savo dynasty nobles, with many clocks, porcelain, silverware and various ancient furniture. Especially the knights, horses, guns, etc. in the weapons showroom are very gorgeous, the horses are lifelike, and it feels like specimen production. After the reunification of Italy in 1862, Dominique Ferri built a majestic "honor ladder" to commemorate the reunification of Italy. At this time, the Italian capital was moved from Turin to Florence. Later moved to Rome, in the process, the function of the Turin Palace as the "Royal Palace" gradually weakened, and then gradually became a museum open to the public.
Turin has a long history and was the first capital city after the reunification of Italy. And Piazza Castello is the oldest square in Turin, the political center and religious center of Turin. The palace of Turin is on the side of the square. The palace is very large. There are many performances on Christmas Eve! But the best palace in Turin is still a world heritage site in the suburb of Venaria town. You may as well go there to see the Baroque palaces and gardens in the Alps.
