8 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.

Eschew the tourist crowds and head to Santuario Basilica di Montis Regalis and Centro storico. Explore the numerous day-trip ideas around Turin: Piazza Galimberti (in Cuneo), Giardini del Belvedere (in Mondovi) and Castello della Manta (in Manta). Next up on the itinerary: steep yourself in history at Basilica of Superga, explore the ancient world of Criptoportico Forense, make a trip to Piazza San Carlo, and explore the world behind art at Egyptian Museum of Turin.
