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.

Let the collections at Reggia di Venaria Reale and Museo Nazionale dell'Automobile capture your imagination. Step out of the city life by going to River Rafting & Tubing and Zoom Torino. You'll find plenty of places to visit near Turin: Serravalle Designer Outlet (in Serravalle Scrivia), Castello di Fenis (in Fenis) and Sacra di San Michele (in Sant'Ambrogio di Torino). There's still lots to do: admire the masterpieces at Egyptian Museum of Turin, don't miss a visit to Piazza San Carlo, take in the spiritual surroundings of Basilica of Superga, and steep yourself in history at Duomo di Torino e Cappella della Sacra Sindone.
