trip to italy
hi all fodorites.
We are planning for a trip to rome , venice and milan in september as we have to attend a conference in turin. How far are these places from turin and is it possible to get a holiday package to these places for 2/3 days from turin? How much would it cost us?

You could easily visit all three without a tour package, if you want to. They're very popular and straightforward to get to. trenitalia.com is the Italian train web site (there is a UK flag up top to take you to an English version), and will have schedules and prices. You may not be able to book for your dates yet, but you can look at schedules a week or two away to get an idea of times and cost.

Confused as to whether you mean 2/3 days total from Turin, or 2/3 days for each location. Makes a big difference. A holiday package may be difficult to find, but you can easily get around on your own. Where are you coming from, and have you booked flights already?

You can't do Rome, Venice and Milan all in 2-3 days - I assumed that you meant 2-3 days each!
trenitalia.com will tell you how long a train journey is to each city - did you look there? I would pick one place, maximum. Milan is closest but Venice or Florence may be worth the extra time. Are you flying into/out of Turin?

Turin is a 2/3 day visit by itself.
I will be in Turin for 3 nights in October. My eyes tear up when I write that. It is a foodies and wine-knows mecca...sojourn...grail...
The *surrounding* cities of Alba, Bra, Barolo are incredible.
I am nosy nosy! What is the business conference in Turin? It has to be in food/hospitality/ wine, right?
