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.

Museo Nazionale del Cinema and Forte di Bard will appeal to museum buffs. Egyptian Museum of Turin and Palazzo Reale are good opportunities to explore the local culture. You'll find plenty of places to visit near Turin: Verres Castle (in Verres), Aosta (Parco Regionale del Mont Avic, Teatro Romano, & more) and Reggia di Venaria Reale (in Venaria Reale). And it doesn't end there: see the interesting displays at Museo Nazionale dell'Automobile, admire the striking features of Palazzina di Caccia di Stupinigi, take in the spiritual surroundings of Basilica di Superga, and make a trip to Piazza San Carlo.
