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 Musei Reali and Fondazione Accorsi Ometto - Museo di Arti Decorative capture your imagination. Deepen your sense of the past at sights like Castello di Issogne and Castello di Verres. Venture out of the city with trips to Castello della Manta (in Manta), Reggia di Venaria Reale (in Venaria Reale) and Castello di Rivoli Museum of Contemporary Art (in Rivoli). And it doesn't end there: step into the grandiose world of Castello Sarriod de La Tour, take in the spiritual surroundings of Santuario Basilica di Montis Regalis, don't miss a visit to Chiesa di Santa Maria del Monte dei Cappuccini, and take an in-depth tour of Museo del Carcere Le Nuove.
