7 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.

Basilica di San Pietro in Ciel d'Oro and Santuario della Consolata are good opportunities to explore the local culture. Deepen your sense of the past at sights like Castello di Grinzane Cavour and Basilica San Michele Maggiore. Change things up with these side-trips from Turin: Basilica San Teodoro (in Pavia), Castello di Issogne (in Issogne) and Castello di Verres (in Verres). There's much more to do: pause for some serene contemplation at Chiesa di Santa Maria del Monte dei Cappuccini, step into the grandiose world of Castello Sarriod de La Tour, admire the landmark architecture of Aosta Old Town, and contemplate in the serene atmosphere at Church of San Lorenzo.
