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 Galleria Sabauda will appeal to museum buffs. Do some cultural sightseeing at Museo Nazionale del Cinema and Civic Museum of Ancient Art (Palazzo Madama). You'll find plenty of places to visit near Turin: Parco Nazionale Gran Paradiso (in Aosta), Cantina Fontechiara (in Borgomanero) and Reggia Di Reale (in Venaria Reale). There's much more to do: examine the collection at Museo Nazionale dell'Automobile, contemplate in the serene atmosphere at Duomo di Torino e Cappella della Sacra Sindone, admire the verdant scenery at Langhe landscapes, and admire the striking features of Palazzo Reale Di Torino.
