12 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.

Attractions like Porta Praetoria and Lago d'Arpy make great kid-friendly stops. You'll explore the less-touristy side of things at Parco Nazionale Gran Paradiso and Museo Forte Bramafam. You'll find plenty of places to visit near Turin: River Rafting & Tubing (in La Salle), Castello Reale di Sarre (in Sarre) and Fontanafredda (in Serralunga d'Alba). The adventure continues: hike along Rifugio Vittorio Sella, examine the collection at Museo del Carcere Le Nuove, walk around Parc Animalier d'Introd, and step into the grandiose world of Castello di Issogne.
