6 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.

Explore hidden gems such as Castello e Parco di Masino and Parco Nazionale Gran Paradiso. Get some historical perspective at Castello di Issogne and Chiesa di Santa Maria del Monte dei Cappuccini. Get out of town with these interesting Turin side-trips: Castello della Manta (in Manta), Forte di Bard (in Bard) and Castello di Verres (in Verres). And it doesn't end there: take an in-depth tour of Museo del Carcere Le Nuove, explore the ancient world of Criptoportico Forense, wander the streets of Via Roma, and do a tasting at Marchesi di Barolo - Sede legale, magazzini e spedizioni.
