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.

Do some cultural sightseeing at Palazzina di Caccia di Stupinigi and Ricetto di Candelo. Discover out-of-the-way places like Castello di Grinzane Cavour and Civic Museum of Ancient Art (Palazzo Madama). Explore Turin's surroundings by going to Castel Savoia (in Gressoney Saint Jean), Santuario di Oropa (in Oropa) and Castello di Serralunga d'Alba (in Serralunga d'Alba). There's lots more to do: step into the grandiose world of Castello di Issogne, don't miss a visit to Sacro Monte, admire the masterpieces at MAO - Museo d'Arte Orientale, and do a tasting at Marchesi di Barolo - Sede legale, magazzini e spedizioni.
