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.

Get some cultural insight at Reggia di Venaria Reale and Museo Nazionale del Cinema. Museum-lovers will appreciate Egyptian Museum of Turin and Museo Nazionale dell'Automobile. Change things up with these side-trips from Turin: Castello di Fenis (in Fenis), Serravalle Designer Outlet (in Serravalle Scrivia) and River Rafting & Tubing (in Morgex). There's much more to do: contemplate the long history of Basilica of Superga, contemplate in the serene atmosphere at Duomo di Torino e Cappella della Sacra Sindone, explore the world behind art at Galleria Sabauda, and admire the landmark architecture of Palazzo Reale.
