Three days in Turin: how to split them
With three days you have time for the city and for what makes Turin special: the residences of the House of Savoy around the city and Piedmont with its vineyards.
- Day 1 – the centre: Egyptian Museum, Musei Reali, Mole Antonelliana. In detail on Turin in one day.
- Day 2 – palace, old town, cars: Palazzo Madama, Quadrilatero Romano, MAUTO or Superga. In detail on Turin in 2 days.
- Day 3 – your choice: La Venaria Reale, Stupinigi Hunting Lodge, Superga, the Langhe and Alba or the Sacra di San Michele.
You don't have to do the three days in this order. If your trip includes a Monday, use it for Superga, the Langhe or the Sacra – Venaria and Stupinigi are closed on Mondays.

Day 3, option A: La Venaria Reale
The Reggia di Venaria is about 10 kilometres from Turin and has been part of the UNESCO World Heritage Site of the Residences of the Royal House of Savoy since 1997. This plan works Tuesday to Sunday.
9:00 – out on the Venaria Express
The GTT shuttle bus stops at Piazza Castello and Porta Susa (Piazza XVIII Dicembre), among other places. From Tuesday to Friday a normal city ticket is valid; at weekends and on public holidays you need a €7 day ticket (€4 with the Torino Card). Departure times are in the GTT timetable. Alternatively, take the train to Reggia di Venaria station.
9:30 – the Reggia
The palace opens at 9:30. Highlights are Filippo Juvarra's 73-metre Galleria Grande and the church of Sant'Uberto. From October the Reggia closes at 17:00 from Tuesday to Friday and at 18:30 at weekends – the ticket offices close earlier.
12:30 – lunch in the Borgo Antico
In front of the palace lies Venaria's historic centre, which the Venaria Express also serves. Have your lunch break here before heading into the gardens.
13:30 – gardens and Castello della Mandria
The gardens cover 80 hectares. The regular €22 ticket includes the Reggia, the gardens and the Castello della Mandria. The Mandria is open Tuesday to Friday from 10:00 to 17:00 and at weekends until 18:30; from 25 October, daily except Mondays from 10:00 to 16:00.
16:00 – return trip, with a stadium stop for football fans
On the way back, the Venaria Express stops at the Allianz Stadium. The Juventus Museum is open until 18:30 on weekdays and until 19:30 at weekends (different on match days). From there, bus 72 takes you to Porta Susa in about 30 minutes.
19:00 – farewell with an Aperitivo
End your last evening with an Aperitivo in the city centre – or on a guided Aperitivo and street food tour from Piazza San Carlo.
Day 3, options B to E
Not Venaria? These four destinations work just as well for a third day.
The Palazzina di Caccia di Stupinigi is the Savoy hunting lodge south-west of Turin. Bus 41 gets you there from Lingotto station in about 20 minutes; from the centre, take bus 18 or tram 4 and change.
- Open Tuesday to Friday 10:00–17:30, at weekends and on public holidays 10:00–18:30, last entry 30 minutes before closing. Closed on Mondays.
- The ticket office may be closed between 12:00 and 13:00 – come in the morning or from 13:00.
- Regular admission €12, free with the Torino Card and Royal Pass. The historic garden is open until 31 October and costs €5.
- The lodge's own guided tours are held at weekends in Italian (€5 extra).
Half a day is enough for the palace alone. Use the afternoon for Superga or a food tour in the city. More: Stupinigi Hunting Lodge.
If you visited MAUTO on Day 2, Superga makes a relaxed third day. Take tram 15 to the valley station at Sassi, and the rack railway carries you 425 metres up in about 18 minutes. The railway doesn't run on Wednesdays.
At the top you visit Filippo Juvarra's basilica (free admission), the Royal Tombs of the House of Savoy (only with a guided tour in Italian, about 45 minutes) and the dome with its 131 steps. The tombs and dome are open Monday to Friday from 10:00 to 13:30 and from 14:30 to 18:00, and at weekends from 10:00 to 19:00. In the afternoon, back in the city, stroll through Parco del Valentino. More: Basilica di Superga.
The Langhe wine landscape has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 2014. There are two ways to go:
- Independently to Alba: the SFM4 train connects Turin (Porta Susa, Lingotto) with Alba every hour. There you explore the old town and the MUDET truffle museum (daily 10:30–18:00, closed on Tuesdays, €5). From 10 October to 6 December 2026, Alba hosts the 96th International White Truffle Fair (Fiera Internazionale del Tartufo Bianco d'Alba).
- On a tour to the wine villages: Barolo, La Morra and the other villages have no railway station. A tour from Turin with a driver, winery visit and tasting is more convenient – several of them in English.
The abbey stands on Monte Pirchiriano in the Susa Valley at 962 metres; the first church was built around 983 to 987. It's considered a symbol of Piedmont and inspired Umberto Eco's "The Name of the Rose". You climb up to the church via the Scalone dei Morti with its 243 steps.
- Open March to October Monday to Saturday 9:30–17:30, Sundays 10:45–17:30; November to February until 16:30. In January there's a winter break of several weeks (2026: 12 to 30 January).
- Until 31 October 2026, a train-and-bus connection runs on Saturdays, Sundays and public holidays from Porta Nuova via Avigliana (1 hour 10 minutes to 1 hour 40 minutes, combined ticket €6.30 per journey, 25% off admission).
- By car: A32 towards Fréjus, exit Avigliana Centro.
With the Torino + Piemonte Card, admission is free. Without a car and outside those days, a guided half-day tour from Turin is the easiest option. More: Sacra di San Michele, Day trips in Piedmont.
Which option suits you?
- First visit, culture: La Venaria Reale, the great royal residence just outside the city – free with the Torino Card.
- Short on time, a quieter day: Stupinigi in the morning, the afternoon in the city.
- Views and football: Superga with the rack railway and the Grande Torino memorial, or Venaria with a stop at the Allianz Stadium.
- Wine and food: the Langhe with a winery tour, and in autumn Alba for the truffle fair.
- Hiking and mysticism: Sacra di San Michele – a footpath leads up from Sant'Ambrogio di Torino in about 1.5 hours.
- Family: Venaria with its sprawling gardens. Children under 6 get in free there, and there's a €52 family ticket for 2 adults with up to 4 children aged 6 to 16.

Costs for three days with the Torino Card
Calculated with regular adult admission prices (as of October 2026), Day 3 with La Venaria Reale. You'll find the same calculation with slightly different sights on the Torino Card page.
Day 1: the centre
- Egyptian Museum€18.00
- Musei Reali€15.00
- National Cinema Museum in the Mole€18.00
Total€51.00
Day 2: palace and cars
- Palazzo Madama€10.00
- MAUTO car museum€18.00
Total€28.00
Day 3: La Venaria Reale
- Reggia, gardens and Castello della Mandria€22.00
Total€22.00
Together, these admissions cost €101.00 at regular prices. The 72-hour card currently costs €45.90 at Tiqets – you save €55.10. With Stupinigi instead of Venaria it's €91, with Superga (tombs and dome) €89. For the Langhe the card doesn't help on the third day – then the 48-hour card for the two city days is the better deal. At the Sacra di San Michele, admission (€10 at regular price) is free with the card.
Other card benefits: the Mole's panoramic lift €7 instead of €9, the Venaria Express at weekends €4 instead of €7, the rack railway to Superga €4 return. For buses, trams and the metro, card holders can get a 72-hour ticket for €9 at the tourist information office.

Details & bookingTorino Card or Royal Pass for three days?
The Royal Pass is valid for 96 hours and covers the Savoy residences: the Musei Reali, Palazzo Madama, Venaria, Stupinigi and Superga are free. However, it only gives you reduced admission to the Egyptian Museum and the National Cinema Museum, and MAUTO isn't included. If you do this itinerary with all three museums, you're usually better off with the Torino Card.
Hop-on Hop-off for the city days
For Days 1 and 2 you can use a 48-hour ticket for the City Sightseeing bus. All lines start at Piazza Castello, and the Blue Line stops at MAUTO. Three lines run until 1 November 2026; according to the ticket provider, only the red one runs from November to March. With the Torino Card the ticket is reduced.
Turin in 3 days: frequently asked questions
Two days in the city with the Egyptian Museum, the Musei Reali, the Mole Antonelliana, Palazzo Madama and MAUTO or Superga. On the third day, a day trip: La Venaria Reale, Stupinigi, Superga, the Langhe with Alba or the Sacra di San Michele.
The 72-hour card, if you visit Venaria, Stupinigi or Superga on the third day. It currently costs €45.90 at Tiqets, while the admissions on the itinerary with Venaria cost €101 at regular prices. If you go to the Langhe, the 48-hour card for the two city days is enough. At the Sacra di San Michele, admission is free with the card.
With the Venaria Express from Piazza Castello or Porta Susa (Tuesday to Sunday), or with SFM4, SFM6 and SFM7 trains to Reggia di Venaria station, from where it's about 500 metres on foot. Buses 11 and 72 also go to Venaria.
In theory yes, in practice it gets tight: the palaces are on opposite sides of the city, and from October Venaria closes at 17:00 on weekdays. Better to choose one and combine it with time in the city.
Venaria and Stupinigi are closed on Mondays. Good destinations then are Superga (the rack railway runs; it only rests on Wednesdays), the Langhe with Alba or the Sacra di San Michele.
To Alba, yes: the SFM4 line runs hourly from Porta Susa and Lingotto. The wine villages such as Barolo and La Morra have no railway station – for those you need a car or a tour.
The 96th International White Truffle Fair takes place in Alba from 10 October to 6 December 2026. Tickets for the World Market are available online.
Until 31 October 2026, on Saturdays, Sundays and public holidays by train and bus from Porta Nuova via Avigliana, journey time 1 hour 10 minutes to 1 hour 40 minutes. Otherwise by car on the A32 (exit Avigliana Centro) or on a guided tour from Turin.
