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.

You'll explore the less-touristy side of things at Chiesa di Santa Maria del Monte dei Cappuccini and Basilica di Maria Ausiliatrice. Get out of town with these interesting Turin side-trips: Castello di Verres (in Verres), Castello di Issogne (in Issogne) and Marchesi di Barolo - Sede legale, magazzini e spedizioni (in Barolo). There's still lots to do: tour the pleasant surroundings at Colline di Torino, make a trip to Villa della Regina, and step into the grandiose world of Castello della Manta.

In September, plan for daily highs up to 24°C, and evening lows to 17°C. Finish your sightseeing early on the 26th (Wed) so you can travel back home.
