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.

Escape the urban bustle at Parco Nazionale Gran Paradiso and Parco Naturale del Monte San Giorgio. Your inner history buff will appreciate Basilica di Superga and La Venaria Reale. Get out of town with these interesting Turin side-trips: Forte di Bard (in Bard) and Castello di Grinzane Cavour (in Grinzane Cavour). Next up on the itinerary: make a trip to Piazza San Carlo and take in the spiritual surroundings of Duomo di Torino e Cappella della Sacra Sindone.
