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.

Let the collections at Museo Forte Bramafam and Museo Egizio capture your imagination. Discover out-of-the-way places like Castello della Manta and Castello di Issogne. Get out of town with these interesting Turin side-trips: Castello di Verres (in Verres), Aosta (Collegiata dei Santi Pietro e Orso, Criptoportico Forense, &more) and Castello Reale di Sarre (in Sarre). There's much more to do: examine the collection at Museo Nazionale del Cinema, step into the grandiose world of Castello Sarriod de La Tour, take an in-depth tour of Museo del Carcere Le Nuove, and head outdoors with Sentiero panoramico lungo l'Orrido di Pre-Saint-Didier.
