9 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 Egizio and Reggia di Venaria Reale capture your imagination. Visiting Parco Naturale del Monte San Giorgio and Lake Orta will get you outdoors. Get out of town with these interesting Turin side-trips: Palazzina di Caccia di Stupinigi (in Stupinigi), Serravalle Designer Outlet (in Serravalle Scrivia) and River Rafting & Tubing (in Morgex). There's still lots to do: see the interesting displays at Museo Nazionale del Cinema, wander the streets of Via Roma, take some stellar pictures from Basilica of Superga, and view the masterpieces at Galleria Sabauda.
