5 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.

Change things up with these side-trips from Turin: Abbazia di Santa Maria di Vezzolano (in Albugnano), Team Adventure (in Cumiana) and Sacra di San Michele (in Sant'Ambrogio di Torino). There's much more to do: contemplate the long history of Basilica di Superga, admire the landmark architecture of Palazzo Reale, make a trip to Piazza San Carlo, and take in nature's colorful creations at Parco del Valentino.
