15 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.

Take a break from the city and head to Parco Nazionale Gran Paradiso and Lago Blu. Your inner history buff will appreciate Santuario Basilica di Montis Regalis and Castello di Grinzane Cavour. Explore Turin's surroundings by going to Sacro Monte di Orta (in Orta San Giulio), Vicolungo The Style Outlets (in Vicolungo) and Castel Savoia (in Gressoney Saint Jean). Spend the 29th (Sun) exploring nature at Parco Regionale del Mont Avic. And it doesn't end there: soothe aching muscles at some of the top local wellness centers, make a trip to Sacro Monte, take in the architecture and atmosphere at Santuario di Oropa, and get engrossed in the history at Museo Pietro Micca.
