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 Santuario di Oropa and Castello e Parco di Masino. Castello di Issogne and Abbazia di Santa Maria di Staffarda will appeal to history buffs. Change things up with these side-trips from Turin: Santuario Basilica di Montis Regalis (in Vicoforte), Marchesi di Barolo - Sede legale, magazzini e spedizioni (in Barolo) and Pila (in Gressan). Next up on the itinerary: explore the historical opulence of Castello della Manta, take a stroll through Quadrilatero Romano, see the interesting displays at Museo Nazionale del Cinema, and get great views at Basilica of Superga.
