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.

Get a sense of the local culture at Castello di Issogne and Santuario della Nativita di Maria. Get some historical perspective at Castello Reale di Sarre and Castello di Verres. Change things up with these side-trips from Turin: Castello e Parco di Masino (in Caravino), Reggia Di Reale (in Venaria Reale) and Forte di Bard (in Bard). The adventure continues: explore the ancient world of Criptoportico Forense, relax and float downstream with a rafting and tubing tour, examine the collection at Museo del Carcere Le Nuove, and take in the architecture and atmosphere at Basilica di Maria Ausiliatrice.
