Help Wanted: 10-14 day side trip from Torino -

I am currently in Torino, where I will be staying until the end of July. I would like to take a 10-14 day side trip at the end of June and am thinking of going to Paris, Prague, and Finland. I am just now trying to come up with an itinerary and am wondering if this even makes sense? I have also thought of Croatia and Slovenia, but that is a completely different route - done another time. Would appreciate any suggestions or advise.

Thanks much!

Torino - Italy, right?
I hardly think that Finland (country) or Prague and Paris (cities) would be classed as a 'sidetrip'.
A side trip for me would be Switzerland (e.g. Geneva) or a little bit west from Torino like Cannes, nice, Marseille or even Monaco.

Seeming as though Paris is only 4.5 hours on the fast train, it really isn't too bad. It took me about that long to get to Nice. Also took a "side-trip" to Monaco (-: when I was in Nice. Both lovely places.

I agree with #1.

A 'side trip' to 3 different places,1 a country and 2 cities...all in different directions and all hundreds or thousands of kilometres away?

Hmmmm....so funny. For me, coming from the US, everything seems so close together here. But, I agree, think I need to simply.

No reason why you couldn't go to Paris for a week...then fly to Prague for 4 or 5 days and then fly back to Torino.
