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 Castello di Rivoli Museum of Contemporary Art (in Rivoli), Castello della Manta (in Manta) and Reggia di Venaria Reale (in Venaria Reale). There's lots more to do: pause for some serene contemplation at Chiesa di Santa Maria del Monte dei Cappuccini, explore the historical opulence of Castello di Issogne, explore the world behind art at Musei Reali, and take in the spiritual surroundings of Santuario Basilica di Montis Regalis.
