The appearance of the Royal Palace, beautiful but not breath-taking, does not suggest the splendor inside. It was a symbol of the wealth of the Savoy Dynasty, and the center of its governing power. The palace complex consists of plenty rooms with ornate interior of intricate shapes, awesome tapestries and marvelous paintings depicting religious scenes and events of the history of the Savoy Dynasty, the Royal Gardens and the Chapel of the Holy Shroud which have been turned into museums, known as the Royal Museums of Turin. Amazing is the Grand Staircase (Scalone d'Onore), the first part of the Palace, every visitor sees - beautiful wall-paintings and sculptures, and a huge painting on the ceiling. All the rooms are furnished and decorated in a really lavish and opulent way with the Dining Room and the Room of the Cuirassiers being my favorites. We didn't take audio-guides but plenty of detailed information was there in the rooms, both in Italian and English. There was a beautiful Christmas tree in the Ball Room and a "Steinway Spirio" piano, automatically performing songs of renowned artists. Bear in mind that it is closed on Mondays but entry is free every first Sunday of the month. Admission for kids and youngsters of up to 18 years of age is also free of charge.

Old buildings with historical reenactments

We have visited this Ricetto as we were looking for a day trip out of Milan. It's been a very nice discovery. It's a very small, medieval location next to the city of Biella. It a place where farmers used to locate and protect goods cominng from the agricolture, including grapes to be transformed in wines 8very common in the area). The structure of Ricetto shows the defensive walls, and after wolking through the entry gate, different parallel narrow roads, where today artists have located their laboratories. Everything is perfectly maintained, with cobblestones all throughtout (hece i suggest to wear confortable outdoor shoes).

The elevator ride and views at the top are spectacular - the building is really interesting architecturally and the Torino National Cinema Museum which is located in the Mole is a must see attraction in Torino. We spent three-hours and barely touched the surface. It is a great place for a film buff, movie historian, or for anyone that likes to walk around in a delightful engaging building with superb displays.

7. Palazzo Borromeo
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 2,890 reviews
In 1670 Count Vitaliano Borromeo decided to turn a rock awash in the middle of the lake into a “place of delights”. It took four centuries to complete this magnificent work that includes Palazzo Borromeo and its scenic gardens. The tour of the house is fascinating: the Throne and Queens rooms, the Napoleon's Room, the Gallery of General Berthier displaying a collection of 130 paintings. On a lower floor, six grottoes covered with pebbles, tufa rock, stucco and marble were designed to afford cool relief from summer heat. World famous, its baroque garden, with the Teatro Massimo at the centre, consists of ten terraces in the shape of a truncated pyramid. Visitors marvel at the sight of the monumental unicorn, the obelisks, the statues, the two towers and other architectural elements, as well as the mighty trees, like the camphor and citrus trees, and the collections of roses, rhododendrons and camellias.

We went at the end of august in the late afternoon. The boat trip is less than 10 minutes and already from the water, you can enjoy the beauty of the Isola Bella ( The Beautiful Island). The entry is €17 per person and you have to go through the Palazzo first before getting into the Garden. Isola Bella’s palazzo is like a baroque chest of wonders floating on the water. You will walk through beautifully furnished halls that afford incredible views of the lake and witness many renowned artists’ exclusive paintings, precious furniture, marbles, neo-classical stuccos, shining armors and Flemish tapestries made of silk and gold. The Italian garden with a baroque taste spreads on parterres and terraces placed at different heights and sprinkled with statues, obelisks, ageless stone stairs and balustrades. This results in an impressive view, displaying the power and magnificence of the noble house. Take your time and enjoy being sound rounded by the incredible beauty of Isola bella
