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.

Eschew the tourist crowds and head to Chiesa di Santa Maria del Monte dei Cappuccini and Castello di Issogne. Explore Turin's surroundings by going to Castello di Verres (in Verres), Castello e Parco di Masino (in Caravino) and Parco Nazionale Gran Paradiso (in Aosta). There's much more to do: take in the awesome beauty at Colline di Torino, take a stroll through Via Roma, and step into the grandiose world of Castello di Serralunga d'Alba.
