Turin: Reggia di Venaria Reale | Walking Tour

 


In this special episode of Walks in Turin we invite you to visit Reggia di Venaria Reale (Palace of Venaria) - a former royal residence in the metropolitan city of Turin. It is one of the 14 Residences of the Royal House of Savoy built between 16th and 18th centuries and designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The restored complex of the Palace of Venaria was opened to visitors in October 2007 and has since become a major tourist  destination and space hosting exhibitions and events. In 2017 it was the sixth most visited museum in Italy.

We will take a walk from the Venaria Reale station to the Palace and visit the Basement floor of the museum and the Noble floor with its gorgeous and miraculous Great Gallery which definitely worth a visit if you are in Turin. We will then explore the Gardens which were  recently recreated and exhibiting modern works by Giuseppe Penone.

Prague: The Dancing House - How Is It Inside?

In the first episode of Walks in Prague we invite you to stay one day in the world-famous Deconstructivist building and the most controversial building in Prague with great historical significance – the Dancing House designed by Vlado Milunić and Frank Gehry on the Rašín Embankment completed in 1996. A few years ago the Rašín Embankment was revitalized according to the project by Petr Janda / Brainwork Architects . It focused on the reconstruction of 20 vaults in the riverside wall (originally ice storage areas) converting them into cafes, clubs, studios, workshops, galleries, a library branch, space for neighbour meetings, and public toilets. Nowadays, the riveside area is a vibrant and beautiful place of the Prague Riverfront. Follow our Instagram
