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.

Eschew the tourist crowds and head to Lago d'Arpy and Marchesi di Barolo - Sede legale, magazzini e spedizioni. Deepen your sense of the past at sights like Piazza Emile Chanoux and Verres Castle. Change things up with these side-trips from Turin: Castello Sarriod de La Tour (in St. Pierre), Castello Reale di Sarre (in Sarre) and Aosta (Parco Nazionale Gran Paradiso & Criptoportico Forense). And it doesn't end there: let the river carry you with a rafting and tubing tour, shop like a local with Via Roma, contemplate in the serene atmosphere at Santuario Basilica di Montis Regalis, and explore the historical opulence of Castello di Issogne.
