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.

Museo Nazionale dell'Automobile and Azienda Vitivinicola Fontechiara are good opportunities to explore the local culture. Palazzo Reale and Reggia di Venaria Reale will appeal to history buffs. Get out of town with these interesting Turin side-trips: Parco Nazionale Gran Paradiso (in Aosta) and Langhe landscapes UNESCO (in Alba). There's lots more to do: examine the collection at Museo Nazionale del Cinema, view the masterpieces at Galleria Sabauda, get a taste of the local shopping with Via Roma, and don't miss a visit to Piazza Castello.
