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.

Deepen your sense of the past at sights like Castello di Fenis and Basilica di Superga. Do your shopping at Galleria Sabauda and Reggia Di Reale. Change things up with these side-trips from Turin: Orta San Giulio (Lake Orta & Piazza Motta), Serravalle Designer Outlet (in Serravalle Scrivia) and Castello di Issogne (in Issogne). And it doesn't end there: explore the world behind art at Museo Egizio, explore the historical opulence of Castello di Grinzane Cavour, examine the collection at Museo Nazionale del Cinema, and steep yourself in history at Duomo di Torino e Cappella della Sacra Sindone.
