Royal Museums Turin

If you're tired of fighting for elbow room in other city museums, the UNESCO World Heritage listed Royal Museums Turin offer up a quiet retreat. Behold the marble busts of men with fine mustaches as you walk the halls of the Armory, the Chapel of the Sacred Shroud, the Sabauda Art Gallery, and the Museum of Antiquities. As you wander the Galleria Beaumont don't forget to look up – the painted ceilings are worth a glance – and enjoy basking in Baroque opulence in the Palazzo Reale.
