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.

Do some cultural sightseeing at Castello di Grinzane Cavour and Armeria Reale. Discover out-of-the-way places like Ricetto di Candelo and Sacro Monte di Orta. Explore Turin's surroundings by going to Palazzina di Caccia di Stupinigi (in Stupinigi), Castello di Serralunga d'Alba (in Serralunga d'Alba) and Santuario di Oropa (in Oropa). There's still lots to do: explore the historical opulence of Castello di Verres, admire the masterpieces at MAO - Museo d'Arte Orientale, take in the spiritual surroundings of Santuario Basilica di Montis Regalis, and don't miss a visit to Sacro Monte.
