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 di Issogne and Chiesa di Santa Maria del Monte dei Cappuccini. Explore Turin's surroundings by going to Castello di Verres (in Verres), Parco Nazionale Gran Paradiso (in Aosta) and Castello della Manta (in Manta). It doesn't end there: step into the grandiose world of Castello e Parco di Masino and take in the architecture and atmosphere at Cattedrale di Asti Santa Maria Assunta.
