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.

Take a break from the city and head to Parco Nazionale Gran Paradiso and Cervino Breuil-Cervinia Ski Area. Explore Turin's surroundings by going to Zoom Torino (in Cumiana), Castello di Issogne (in Issogne) and River Rafting & Tubing (in Morgex). There's still lots to do: get engrossed in the history at Museo Egizio, pause for some serene contemplation at Basilica di Superga, don't miss a visit to Piazza Castello, and admire the striking features of Palazzo Reale Di Torino.

Expect a daytime high around 20°C in May, and nighttime lows around 12°C. Wrap up your sightseeing on the 13th (Mon) early enough to travel back home.
