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 Nazionale dell'Automobile capture your imagination. Discover out-of-the-way places like Castello della Manta and Castello e Parco di Masino. 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 di Issogne (in Issogne). There's much more to do: get engrossed in the history at Museo Egizio, pause for some serene contemplation at Abbazia di Santa Maria di Staffarda, take in the spiritual surroundings of Santuario Basilica di Montis Regalis, and see the interesting displays at Museo Nazionale del Cinema.
