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 Basilica di Montis Regalis and Criptoportico Forense. You'll find plenty of places to visit near Turin: Mondovi (Giardini del Belvedere & Funicolare), Castello della Manta (in Manta) and Cuneo (Centro storico & Piazza Galimberti). There's much more to do: contemplate the long history of Basilica di Superga, deepen your knowledge of military history at Fenestrelle Fortress, don't miss a visit to Porta Pretoria, and see the interesting displays at Museo Nazionale del Cinema.

Expect a daytime high around 17°C in October, and nighttime lows around 12°C. Wrap up your sightseeing on the 21st (Sun) to allow time to travel back home.
