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 Santuario Basilica di Montis Regalis and Armeria Reale. Deepen your sense of the past at sights like Castel Savoia and Castello di Issogne. Get out of town with these interesting Turin side-trips: Ricetto di Candelo (in Candelo), Verres Castle (in Verres) and Castello di Grinzane Cavour (in Grinzane Cavour). On the 5th (Tue), spend an exhilarating day on the slopes at Pila. It doesn't end there: soothe aching muscles at some of the top local wellness centers and learn about winemaking at Wineries & Vineyards.
