18 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.

Step out of the city life by going to Langhe landscapes and River Rafting & Tubing. Get out of town with these interesting Turin side-trips: Castello di Issogne (in Issogne), Cumiana (Zoom Torino & Team Adventure) and Palazzina di Caccia di Stupinigi (in Stupinigi). There's still lots to do: get engrossed in the history at Museo Egizio, contemplate in the serene atmosphere at Duomo di Torino e Cappella della Sacra Sindone, see the interesting displays at Museo Nazionale dell'Automobile, and don't miss a visit to Piazza Castello.
