5 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.

Museo Egizio and Basilica di Superga are good opportunities to explore the local culture. For shopping fun, head to Galleria Sabauda or Mostra Steve Mc Curry. Get out of town with these interesting Turin side-trips: Reggia Di Reale (in Venaria Reale), Castello di Verres (in Verres) and Serravalle Designer Outlet (in Serravalle Scrivia). There's lots more to do: see the interesting displays at Museo Nazionale del Cinema, steep yourself in history at Sacra di San Michele, explore the historical opulence of Castello di Fenis, and admire the landmark architecture of Palazzo Reale Di Torino.
