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.

Get a sense of the local culture at Castello di Grinzane Cavour and Santuario Basilica di Montis Regalis. Visit Castello Reale di Sarre and Castel Savoia for their historical value. Venture out of the city with trips to Ricetto di Candelo (in Candelo), Vicolungo The Style Outlets (in Vicolungo) and Santuario di Oropa (in Oropa). And it doesn't end there: explore the ancient world of Criptoportico Forense, don't miss a visit to Via Roma, pause for some serene contemplation at Basilica di Superga, and identify plant and animal life at Parco Nazionale Gran Paradiso.
