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.

Take a break from the city and head to Parco Nazionale Gran Paradiso and Breuil-Cervinia Ski Area. Get out of town with these interesting Turin side-trips: River Rafting & Tubing (in Morgex), Parco Naturale del Monte San Giorgio (in Piossasco) and Lake Orta (in Orta San Giulio). There's much more to do: take in the spiritual surroundings of Basilica di Superga, don't miss a visit to Piazza Castello, examine the collection at Museo Nazionale dell'Automobile, and admire all the interesting features of Juventus Stadium.
