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.

You'll explore the less-touristy side of things at Parco Nazionale Gran Paradiso and Wine Tours & Tastings. Change things up with a short trip to Colle del Nivolet in Ceresole Reale (about 1h 25 min away). There's still lots to do: pause for some serene contemplation at Basilica di Maria Ausiliatrice, steep yourself in history at Basilica of Superga, stroll the grounds of Le Tombe Reali, and examine the collection at Museo Nazionale dell'Automobile.

To find traveler tips, reviews, maps, and tourist information, refer to the Turin online route planner.

If you are flying in from Portugal, the closest major aiports are Malpensa International Airport, Turin Airport and Genoa Cristoforo Colombo Airport. In June in Turin, expect temperatures between 26°C during the day and 18°C at night. Cap off your sightseeing on the 16th (Sun) early enough to travel back home.
