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 Lake Orta and Cervino Breuil-Cervinia Ski Area. Venture out of the city with trips to Azienda Agricola But di Meistro Flavio (in Costigliole d'Asti), Cantina del Glicine (in Neive) and Ferraris Agricola (in Castagnole Monferrato). There's lots more to do: get great views at Basilica of Superga, take in the spiritual surroundings of Duomo di Torino e Cappella della Sacra Sindone, make a trip to Piazza San Carlo, and take in nature's colorful creations at Parco del Valentino.
