Get outdoors at Parco Nazionale Gran Paradiso and Parco Naturale del Monte San Giorgio. Castello di Grinzane Cavour and Basilica of Superga will appeal to history buffs. Get out of town with these interesting Turin side-trips: Forte di Bard (in Bard) and Reggia di Venaria Reale (in Venaria Reale). Next up on the itinerary: don't miss a visit to Piazza San Carlo and contemplate in the serene atmosphere at Duomo di Torino e Cappella della Sacra Sindone.
