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.

Appreciate the collections at Museo Nazionale del Cinema and Museo del Carcere Le Nuove. Eschew the tourist crowds and head to Castello di Issogne and Castello della Manta. Get out of town with these interesting Turin side-trips: Pila (in Gressan), Santuario Basilica di Montis Regalis (in Vicoforte) and Via Lattea (in Sauze d'Oulx). There's still lots to do: explore the historical opulence of Castello e Parco di Masino, see the interesting displays at Museo Nazionale dell'Automobile, make a trip to Piazza Castello, and take in the architecture and atmosphere at Basilica di Maria Ausiliatrice.
