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.

Eschew the tourist crowds and head to Parco Nazionale Gran Paradiso and Ecomuseo delle Miniere e della Val Germanasca. Change things up with these side-trips from Turin: Rifugio Vittorio Sella (in Cogne), Festival delle Sagre di Asti (in Asti) and Centro Storico (in Alba). There's more to do: steep yourself in history at Fenestrelle Fortress and take in the architecture and atmosphere at Santa Maria del Monte - Monte dei Cappuccini.

In September, plan for daily highs up to 27°C, and evening lows to 17°C. Finish your sightseeing early on the 14th (Thu) to allow enough time to travel back home.
