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.

You'll explore the less-touristy side of things at Colle del Nivolet and River Rafting & Tubing. You'll find plenty of places to visit near Turin: Parco Nazionale Gran Paradiso (in Aosta), Castello di Issogne (in Issogne) and Cascate del Rutor (in La Thuile). Next up on the itinerary: contemplate the waterfront views at Lago d'Arpy, pause for some serene contemplation at Basilica di Maria Ausiliatrice, indulge your senses at some of the top wineries in the area, and cruise along Colline di Torino.
