At 1:30 pm we'll meet at the Piazzetta Reale at the main entrance of Turin's Royal Palace to begin our tour.

Don't be fooled by its facade, the exterior's austerity contrasts with the rich interiors. The palace has a long history and is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

The Royal Palace of Turin was the main residence of the Saboya House, which made Turin the first capital of modern Italy. As you explore, you'll learn about the family's historical significance.

Inside, you will find the remarkable armoury, the second most important in Europe. The guide will highlight intriguing items and recount their history. The tour will include key areas of the Baroque-style palace, such as the main hall, adorned with gold and gemstones, and the chandelier lounge.

We will visit the Chapel of the Holy Shroud, originally built to shelter the Shroud of Turin, now relocated due to a great fire that threatened its preservation.

The tour will conclude at 3 pm in front of the Royal Palace of Turin.
