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.

Venture out of the city with trips to Castello di Grinzane Cavour (in Grinzane Cavour), Orta San Giulio (Lake Orta, Sacro Monte di Orta, & more) and Forte di Bard (in Bard). And it doesn't end there: steep yourself in history at Basilica di Superga, make a trip to Piazza San Carlo, admire all the interesting features of Juventus Stadium, and examine the collection at National Cinema Museum.
