6 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.

Do your shopping at Galleria Sabauda and Mostra Steve Mc Curry. Take a break from the city and head to Anemos - PedalaTo and River Rafting & Tubing. Get out of town with these interesting Turin side-trips: Castello di Fenis (in Fenis), Reggia di Venaria Reale (in Venaria Reale) and Serravalle Designer Outlet (in Serravalle Scrivia). There's still lots to do: admire the masterpieces at Museo Egizio, admire the striking features of Palazzo Reale, don't miss a visit to Basilica of Superga, and view the masterpieces at Adplog.
