4 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.

Step off the beaten path and head to Castello e Parco di Masino and Castello di Issogne. Get some cultural insight at Castello della Manta and Musei Reali. Venture out of the city with trips to Sacro Monte (in Varallo), Chiesa dei Ss. Pietro e Giorgio (in Rosazza) and Castello di Verres (in Verres). The adventure continues: admire the masterpieces at Fondazione Accorsi Ometto - Museo di Arti Decorative, delve into the distant past at Criptoportico Forense, get engrossed in the history at Museo del Carcere Le Nuove, and step into the grandiose world of Castello Reale di Sarre.
