10 days in Turin Itinerary

A city of technology and industry, Turin is in northwestern Italy, a one-hour drive from the French border and slightly more than that from the Mediterranean Sea.

Eschew the tourist crowds and head to Santuario della Consolata and Santa Maria del Monte - Monte dei Cappuccini. You'll find plenty of places to visit near Turin: Cuneo (Centro storico & Piazza Galimberti), Castello della Manta (in Manta) and Mondovi (Giardini del Belvedere & Funicolare). There's still lots to do: look for all kinds of wild species at Parco Nazionale Gran Paradiso, explore the activities along Lago Blu, explore the historical opulence of Castello e Parco di Masino, and admire the landmark architecture of Aosta Old Town.
