3 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 del Carcere Le Nuove and Il Bucintoro dei Savoia capture your imagination. You'll discover tucked-away gems like Castello e Parco di Masino and Chiesa di Santa Maria del Monte dei Cappuccini. Explore Turin's surroundings by going to Parco Nazionale Gran Paradiso (in Aosta), Castello di Issogne (in Issogne) and Castello di Verres (in Verres). It doesn't end there: step into the grandiose world of Castello di Serralunga d'Alba and take in the architecture and atmosphere at Cattedrale di Asti Santa Maria Assunta.
