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.

Museum-lovers will get to explore Armeria Reale and Museo Nazionale del Cinema. You'll explore the less-touristy side of things at Castello di Grinzane Cavour and Museo Pietro Micca. Get out of town with these interesting Turin side-trips: Cantina Josetta Saffirio (in Monforte d'Alba), Marchesi di Barolo - Sede legale, magazzini e spedizioni (in Barolo) and Castel Savoia (in Gressoney Saint Jean). Next up on the itinerary: get to know the fascinating history of Ricetto di Candelo, see the interesting displays at Juventus Museum, explore the historical opulence of Castello di Issogne, and take in the spiritual surroundings of Santuario Basilica di Montis Regalis.
