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 Nazionale del Cinema and Museo Egizio capture your imagination. Deepen your sense of the past at sights like Duomo di Torino e Cappella della Sacra Sindone and Castello e Parco di Masino. Venture out of the city with trips to Reggia di Venaria Reale (in Venaria Reale), Castello di Rivoli Museum of Contemporary Art (in Rivoli) and Castello della Manta (in Manta). Next up on the itinerary: get engrossed in the history at Museo del Carcere Le Nuove, explore the world behind art at Musei Reali, step into the grandiose world of Castello di Verres, and pause for some serene contemplation at Basilica di Maria Ausiliatrice.
