2 nights in Piedmont or nearby

Posted by (Portland, OR) on

Hello, We (my husband, 21-year-old daughter, and I) are traveling to Italy in August for a wedding in Asti. We land in Milan and have 2 days before we need to be in Asti. We were originally planning to stay in Milan for those days, but are now considering going a little further to see something different (although we've never really been in Milan before either). Does anyone have any suggestions for a quick stay? We are currently considering Turin, Genoa, Lake Como, or Varazze. Trying to keep it to a 2-3 hour drive from Milan.
(After these 2 nights, we have 5 nights in Asti and have also been to Asti previously, so looking for something different for this part.)

Thanks!

We like Turin (Torino) better than Milan, overall. Great museums, beautiful architecture, incredible food. Check out the National Museum of the Automobile. I don’t usually like “car” museums but this one is extraordinary. The Egyptian Museum is overwhelming the collection is so large, but it is well-curated. Go up in the Mole Antonelliana and consider one of the big Savoy palaces. La Venaria Reale is almost as nice as Versailles and not so crowded.

Thanks, Turin is high on my list... trying to convince the others! :)
