A beautiful and surprising palace. - A truly interesting place from an artistic and architectural point of view. One of the most important restorations in Europe. Absolutely worth seeing if you are in Turin.

Excellent - Truly beautiful place that tells the story of the Savoy dynasty and the history of Turin and Italy until the end of the Monarchy in the 1940s. There are many rooms with paintings, sculptures and artefacts. The stable area, the Turner exhibition and the royal banquets are interesting. The visit route ends at the gardens where you can take a peaceful walk. The duration is approximately 3 hours.

It deserves it - Very beautiful, well kept both inside and in the gardens. Outside there is also a street with bars, ice cream parlors and more that is worth a walk. It's worth going there. Ticket cost (garden and palace) €16. From a Milanese Milanese fan

Immerse yourself in the past - Stunning place! Nothing to complain about, to visit at least once in your life. The only flaw is if you don't bring a packed lunch, prices are beyond any logic! Considering that so many families visit the Palace, you can't have such high prices on sandwiches and the like. I spent more on three sandwiches and two waters than I did on admission!

A few hours in another time - A palace which, in terms of rooms, has nothing to envy of European palaces. The park is immense, perhaps more attention should be given to the floral decorations, as well as the route indications inside the rooms

Pretty - beautiful majestic and very beautiful structure. very reminiscent of Versailles!!! maybe it's better to visit with a guide.. which unfortunately I didn't do. in March the gardens were unfortunately very barren and many plants were dry. I was sorry that there were no indications about the limited functioning of the fountain, the little train that goes around the gardens only in high season or on weekends. while I was visiting the garden I tried to call for information and a dial comes in saying that due to the intense traffic it is not possible to answer... this is really serious because the day I went the palace was almost empty, the doorman and ticket office workers who were rioting didn't have customers (it's certainly not their fault if there were no visitors)... it seems to me that the phone that activates a disk is not exactly a good business card!!

Zero indications - Typical example of Italian (dis)organization. A map is not given and the indications inside the park are very poor. Cute cherry trees in bloom in spring. Rental bikes go from March 1st but today is Saturday the 22nd and everything is closed.

I don't recommend it - Disappointment. Maybe it was because I had already seen the Royal Palace of Caserta and Versailles, but there is little or nothing here. The collections were scarce, the audio guide was not available, so we had to settle for reading. Immense gardens but without flowers, some fountains and closed bicycle rental, not to mention the state of the bathrooms! An experience not to be repeated without considering that the ticket costs 16 euros.

Real rudeness - An undeniably precious treasure in the hands of rude, arrogant and unprepared staff. Little desire to work, abrupt manner and no control from superiors make the desire disappear starting from the ticket office. As a resident I would be entitled to purchase a card to access the gardens, but the ticket office cash desk seems not to be the same as the access to the other attractions (pity it's not written anywhere) so, after an hour of queuing I hear a reply with annoyed that "the register is already closed" (at the free will of the colleague who manages it obviously!) Education is not for everyone…
