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.

Get some cultural insight at Forte di Bard and National Cinema Museum. Get some historical perspective at Basilica di Superga and La Venaria Reale. Step out of Turin with an excursion to Parco Nazionale Gran Paradiso in Aosta--about 1h 30 min away. The adventure continues: get a taste of the local shopping with Mercato di Porta Palazzo, see the interesting displays at Museo Nazionale dell'Automobile, and explore the world behind art at Egyptian Museum of Turin.
