8 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.

Get out of town with these interesting Turin side-trips: Colle del Lys (in Viu), Zoom Torino (in Cumiana) and Cervino Breuil-Cervinia Ski Area (in Breuil-Cervinia). There's lots more to do: see the interesting displays at Museo Nazionale del Cinema, don't miss a visit to Piazza Castello, pause for some serene contemplation at Basilica di Superga, and admire the landmark architecture of Palazzo Reale Di Torino.
