Giardini Reali Turin
Chilling in the King's backyard
The point for someone visiting the city or for an inhabitant waiting to go on holiday (or maybe staying in Turin for whole spring/summer period) is staying as fresh as possible, relax and possibly enjoy the city and her (hidden) beauties.
The garden of Palazzo Reale is a great spot to do all of these things. The Giardini Reali are in the "backyard" of the gigantic complex of Musei Reali, that are really beautiful and worth a visit. The Giardini were closed for a long period and opened a year ago. They're still a work in progress, with only a small portion fully accessible to the public. This portion in particular reminded me of English parks. You can "borrow" a chair or long chair, move it in the sun or under trees if you like a good "shadow tan" and just relax. No need to pay a ticket neither for the park nor for the accommodation. In the nearby Piazzetta Reale, just around the corner of the Giardini entrance, there is a bar for refreshments and a toilet (free for Bar users, 50 cents for other people). It's a really quiet place and no one will bother you.
So grab a snack and enjoy our itty bitty park.
