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.

Museum-lovers will appreciate Museo Forte Bramafam and Egyptian Museum of Turin. Visit Verres Castle and Fenestrelle Fortress for their historical value. You'll find plenty of places to visit near Turin: Castello e Parco di Masino (in Caravino), Castello di Issogne (in Issogne) and Criptoportico Forense (in Aosta). Next up on the itinerary: relax and float downstream with a rafting and tubing tour, examine the collection at Museo Nazionale dell'Automobile, admire the landmark architecture of Reggia di Venaria Reale, and explore the historical opulence of Castello Reale di Sarre.
