Get outdoors at Parco Nazionale Gran Paradiso and Parco Naturale del Monte San Giorgio. Basilica of Superga and Duomo di Torino e Cappella della Sacra Sindone will appeal to history buffs. Get out of town with these interesting Turin side-trips: Forte di Bard (in Bard), Castello di Grinzane Cavour (in Grinzane Cavour) and Reggia di Venaria Reale (in Venaria Reale). It doesn't end there: make a trip to Piazza San Carlo.
