3 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.

Step off the beaten path and head to Parco Nazionale Gran Paradiso and Colle del Nivolet. Change things up with these side-trips from Turin: Piazza Galimberti (in Cuneo) and Castello della Manta (in Manta). There's lots more to do: get great views at Basilica of Superga, make a trip to Piazza Castello, examine the collection at Museo Nazionale dell'Automobile, and admire the masterpieces at Egyptian Museum of Turin.
