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 historical perspective at Castello di Grinzane Cavour and Ricetto di Candelo. Explore hidden gems such as Santuario Basilica di Montis Regalis and Pila. Get out of town with these interesting Turin side-trips: Santuario di Oropa (in Oropa), Castel Savoia (in Gressoney Saint Jean) and Vialattea (in Sauze d'Oulx). And it doesn't end there: take a stroll through Via Roma, explore the historical opulence of Verres Castle, deepen your knowledge of military history at Fenestrelle Fortress, and learn about winemaking at Marchesi di Barolo - Sede legale, magazzini e spedizioni.

Expect a daytime high around 10°C in December, and nighttime lows around 1°C. Finish your sightseeing early on the 26th (Tue) to allow enough time to travel back home.
