Palazzo Reale
Statues of the mythical twins Castor and Pollux guard the entrance to the Palazzo Reale, and according to local legend, also watch over the border between the sacred ('white magic') and diabolical ('black magic') halves of the city. Built for Carlo Emanuele II around 1646, its lavishly decorated rooms house an assortment of furnishings, porcelain and other knick-knacks.

Parco Valentino
The 550,000-sq-m French-style Parco Valentino opened in 1856 and is filled day and night with joggers, promenaders and café goers (though take care on your own here late at night). A walk southwest along the Po river brings you to Castello del Valentino (closed to the public), a mock chateau built in the 17th century.
