4 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.

Get some historical perspective at Verres Castle and Santuario Basilica di Montis Regalis. Eschew the tourist crowds and head to Castello di Issogne and Criptoportico Forense. Get out of town with these interesting Turin side-trips: Castello Reale di Sarre (in Sarre), Collegiata dei Santi Pietro e Orso (in Aosta) and Castello e Parco di Masino (in Caravino). There's much more to do: pause for some photo ops at Fenestrelle Fortress, make a trip to Santa Maria del Monte - Monte dei Cappuccini, explore the world behind art at Egyptian Museum of Turin, and take in the spiritual surroundings of Basilica di Superga.
