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 Reggia di Venaria Reale. 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), Serravalle Designer Outlet (in Serravalle Scrivia) and Sacra di San Michele (in Sant'Ambrogio di Torino). There's still lots to do: take an in-depth tour of Museo Egizio, view the masterpieces at Mostra Steve Mc Curry, explore the galleries of Palazzina di Caccia di Stupinigi, and take some stellar pictures from Basilica of Superga.
