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.

Change things up with these side-trips from Turin: Milan (Chiesa di Santa Maria presso San Satiro, Piazza del Duomo, &more), Azienda Agricola Bajaj (in Monteu Roero) and Langhe landscapes (in Alba). There's lots more to do: admire the masterpieces at Museo Egizio, see the interesting displays at Museo Nazionale dell'Automobile, don't miss a visit to Piazza San Carlo, and take in the architecture and atmosphere at Basilica di Superga.
