Your Itinerary

Asti

Visit of the historic center along the main axis: corso Vittorio Alfieri, overlooked by prestigious noble palaces that testify to the presence of important families, protagonists of the city's history: Mazzetti di Frinco, Alfieri and, in more recent times (19th century. ) the Ottolenghi. The tour allows you to travel through time and get to know "Hasta" from its foundation in Roman times (Torre Rossa, ancient city gate) to the great financial and political role it played in the Middle Ages up to the Palio square where the great challenge is held every year between the districts of the city.

Cattedrale di Asti Santa Maria Assunta

The cathedral stands on the ancient site of the earlier medieval church. An example of purely Asti late Gothic architecture, it bears witness to the opulence of the city in the Middle Ages up to the 15th century. Proof of this are the important works it preserves inside, with a time span that ranges from the Roman age to the present day. The visit is bound to the times of religious functions.

Collegiata di San Secondo

The oldest church in the city, which by far represents the strong link between the city and the palio that is contested every year, preserves murals and is an architectural jewel that overlooks the Piazza del Comune. The visit is bound to the times of religious functions.

Palazzo Mazzetti / Museo e Pinacoteca Civica

Se alla cassa mi dici che l' orario di ingresso e' libero, all' ingresso pretendo di entrare e non aspettare 4 ore prima di poter entrare. Vergogna.

La villa patrimonio dell'UNESCO è enorme e ci vogliono qualche ora per vederla insieme ai suoi giardini. lo stato in cui si trova è dovuto ad una ristrutturazione enorme avvenuta dopo che si trovava in uno stato di abbandono completo. Molti pezzi che si trovano al suo interno sono stati dati in concessione al museo.

Vale la pena una visita alla Reggia, se non altro per apprezzare il lavoro di restauro e ricostruzione di un manufatto che a fine anno ‘90 era in stato di abbandono. Molto carina l’esposizione delle carrozze d’epoca dei Savoia e del Bucintoro, una imbarcazione veneziana usata dai Savoia per le parate fluviali. A soli 4€ è possibile usufruire di un’audioguida (il volume è sufficiente per ascoltare anche in due): la comodità è che è possibile ascoltare anche solo una sintesi in modo da ridurre i tempi del percorso. Una visita degli interni richiede comunque 2 ore circa, e lo stesso vale per il parco. Per questo ultimo suggerisco di utilizzare il trenino (a pagamento) che in 20 minuti circa vi consente di avere una visione d’insieme (con relativa spiegazione) dei giardini e del parco basso.

È stato un esperienza molto interessante mi sono piaciuti i giardini , e le carrozze, le fontane le barche, le piante. ..

La reggia è una struttura fantastica, tra dipinti, statue, arredi, si assapora un ambiente unico. Per non parlare delle sale, magnifiche. I giardini esterni sono bellissimi. Consiglio la Piemonte card per girare i musei.

La reggia è meravigliosa sia all'interno che all'esterno. Non ci si accorge di quanto si cammina perchè si è continuamente affascinati. Il prezzo è un po' alto. Sicuramente ha costi di gestione esorbitanti ma come famiglia tra giardini, reggia e trenino... abbiamo speso parecchio.

Bellissimo ambiente per passare una giornata tra la reggia (residenza di caccia) e i giardini. Molto ben curata e ordinata, visita consigliata anche con bambini. Tappa consigliata per chi soggiorna a Torino

Una bella esperienza tra storia , aneddoti e curiosità. Ben conservata nonostante le vicende passate.

Un paesaggio suggestivo, la struttura è tenuta in buon stato peccato molte stanze chiuse o non acessibili da poter visitare, all'interno non tutte le stanze offrono arredamento o decorazioni da ammirare. Consiglio di visitarla nel periodo estivo così da poter visitare anche i giardini esterni Sicuramente da ritornarci

Bellissima Reggia e ben ristrutturata. Molto preparata la guida anche se a volte un po’ rigida. Durata della visita (giardini esclusi) 2 ore. Abbiamo inoltre potuto ammirare l’ultimo bucintoro rimasto al mondo. L’unico problema: non sempre la guida era ben udibile quando c’erano altre persone.
