What to see in Turin with a guide
The places where a guide makes all the difference: they know how to get in, what to look at and what to tell you.
Egyptian Museum
Statues of pharaohs, papyri, sarcophagi and the tomb of Kha and Merit, found intact: one of the most important Egyptian collections in the world.
Mole Antonelliana and National Cinema Museum
Turin's landmark, with the National Cinema Museum inside and the panoramic elevator that rises all the way to the terrace.
Royal Museums and Chapel of the Holy Shroud
The royal palace of the House of Savoy, the Royal Armory, the Galleria Sabauda and the Baroque chapel designed by Guarini.
Piazza Castello and Palazzo Madama
The medieval castle with Juvarra's Baroque facade, in the middle of the square where Via Po and Via Garibaldi begin.
Palazzo Carignano and Piazza San Carlo
The seat of the first Italian Parliament, now the Museum of the Risorgimento, and the city's elegant drawing room under the arcades, with its historic cafés.
Quadrilatero Romano and Porta Palatina
The straight streets of the Roman town, the gate with its two towers, the Consolata Sanctuary and a bicerin at the café across the square.
Beyond Turin: Venaria, Sacra di San Michele and the Langhe
The Venaria Royal Palace and its gardens, the abbey on top of Mount Pirchiriano and the wine hills. All doable as day trips.
