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 Parco Nazionale Gran Paradiso 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). The adventure continues: steep yourself in history at Basilica of Superga, see the interesting displays at Museo Nazionale dell'Automobile, admire the striking features of Aosta Old Town, and don't miss a visit to Piazza San Carlo.
