Athens is a must for lovers of archaeology and ancient history. Not only museums, but also open-air archaeological sites, everywhere you can breathe in the past. One of these is the National Archaeological Museum of Athens, where you can find works that we have all, at one time or another, seen in history books.

Turin, the first capital of Italy, is a city full of charm and culture, but in addition to the best-known museums, there are many other interactive experiences and fun museums in Turin that can make a visit enjoyable and engaging for the whole family. If you are looking for ideas to entertain the kids or want to alternate the classic visits with something more original, Turin has several options that are sure to surprise you.
Turin, the capital of Piedmont, is a city steeped in history with a drive towards modernity. The former capital of Italy and cradle of the Savoy royal family, Turin is also recognised as an important industrial hub and centre of good taste, known for its production of vermouth and other delicacies. With its elegant urban fabric and numerous cultural legacies, Turin offers a variety of sights to see that tell stories of the past and beyond. If you are planning a multi-day visit, consider exploring Turin’s museums by first purchasing a pass that gives you access to the main museums, in fact, as well as favourable discounts for temporary exhibitions and a reduced ticket to climb the Mole Antonelliana.
The Reggia di Venaria Reale, one of the most fascinating and impressive Savoy residences, is located in the heart of Piedmont, a short distance from the city of Turin. This extraordinary complex is a must-see for anyone visiting the region, not only for its architectural beauty but also for the historical wealth it holds. For those wishing to explore all of Piedmont’s royal residences, there is a tourist pass available that facilitates access to these historic sites (you can find it at the end of this post), ensuring a complete experience among historic and central palaces, sumptuous residences, and vacation spots.

The capital of Catalonia is a colorful city that brings together entertainment, the sea, and food and wine delights. Not only that, Barcelona offers an incredible assortment of artistic experiences ranging from world-renowned museums to historic monuments, from lively plazas to urban sculptures and contemporary artworks scattered throughout its streets.
Visiting Barcelona in three days is not easy, especially if you are visiting it for the first time. It is a city in ferment, frequently adding exhibitions, art spaces and always revealing a new aspect of itself. This itinerary I propose allows you to get around Barcelona in a weekend by choosing to devote your stay mainly to art. With a few moments of pure relaxation, of course. On the other hand, if you want to know all the museums in Barcelona, I recommend my dedicated article.
