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.

Popular historic sites such as Castle of Grinzane Cavour and Palazzo Reale are in your itinerary. Get a sense of the local culture at La Venaria Reale and Museo Nazionale del Cinema. Go for a jaunt from Turin to Sant'Ambrogio di Torino to see Sacra di San Michele about 52 minutes away. There's lots more to do: pick up some local products at Mercato di Porta Palazzo, take in the spiritual surroundings of Duomo di Torino e Cappella della Sacra Sindone, contemplate the long history of Basilica di Superga, and admire the masterpieces at Egyptian Museum of Turin.
