La Venaria Reale

Wonderful palace not very far from the city. The gardens are beautiful and really nice to walk around and take pictures. There is also an art exhibition that had some amazing pieces. The palace it self is quite big and has a lot of rooms that feel somewhat empty, I think they could utilize some more items and show them at their respective rooms. We also got the audio guide but we didn't really use it after all so I wouldn't recommend it that much. Overall really beautiful and worth visiting.

Well shoot! I honestly wasn't expecting to find such palaces/residences when I came to Torino but I'm glad I did. Once you know the story about the Piedmont region and the Savoy family, it all makes sense. Not only is it awe-inspiring, but the fact that the place was rescued and renovated after being literally abandoned for a long time makes it for an amazing story and a cautionary tale that not everything is eternal

Reggia di Venaria Castle in Turin, a stunning example of Baroque architecture, captivates visitors with its grandeur and intricate design. Surrounded by beautifully landscaped gardens, the castle offers a serene escape from the bustling city. Inside, the opulent rooms are adorned with exquisite frescoes and lavish furnishings that reflect the royal history of the Savoy dynasty. As a UNESCO World Heritage site, it not only showcases Italy's rich cultural heritage but also serves as a venue for art exhibitions and cultural events throughout the year.

I recommend. We visited just the gardens, it takes you about 4-5h, I recomand, but we visited in 2023 at 36 degrees Celsius, and it was torture, but in 2025 at 24 degrees, it was beautiful, the gardens are very big, we didn't manage to visit every garden, if you want a good walk, it's recomanded. Be careful, on Saturdays the last train(tour, 5€ adults) is at 12:30, and the next oan is at 3 pm. Also, I was absolutely eaten by mosquitoes, so I recommend spraying a anti-isect spray before going in the gardens. The ice cream shop in the rise garden was not open.

Staff was helpful, tickets worth the price for us. You can spend a whole day in here : it's got informative exhibitions (didn't know how influential/powerful the Savoys were), beautiful rooms and a huge and quiet garden.

Definitly a must do! A bit far from the center of Torino but it is so worth it. Plan the day to visit because there is a lot to see. You can easily spend 2h/2h30 in the palace and 2h in the gardens if you explore every area (there is also a little train). The estate is huge and the renovation work that has been done to preserve and restore it is amazing. You learn a lot about the history of the castle, the royal families that ruled and the conquests they unfolded. When I visited the palace, there was some work going on in some parts, so the entrance ticket that day was 8 euros for the palace and the gardens, which was a very nice additionning surprise!

For one time visit it is good. I feel it could be better. They could use the olace to show of more of the kings furniture or living style. It seemed very empty. With all those rooms they could put together a very spectacular thing. The most important there was an exhibitionn from paintings that the Doges of Genoa owned. But that was not permanent as I understood. The rest meh. I've seen better palaces. It was a good thing that there is a specific bus , the Venaria express, that goes there, and that there are places to eat and shop there,outside the palace, so you can combine it with lunch or a walk.

A beautiful journey through Italian history and culture. A superb structure to house the stunning gardens. The nobility of the Michelin-starred restaurant crowns a perfect journey.

If you're a fan of castles and architecture, this is a must see. The gardens, grand halls, chandeliers, and the glass. Seriously amazing.

A lovely town built around a castle, that was in ruin for several years before being partially restored and turned into a museum. It's a lovely place to visit if you're passing through the area, and would be even better in warm weather than it was in the cold December day I visited :)
