Best Time to Visit Turin
An elegant, arcaded northern city known for its Baroque architecture, its café culture, and its role as Italy's first capital. It sits close to the Alps, giving it a cooler, more continental feel than most Italian cities further south.
Best time to visit: April to June or September to October, avoiding the humid peak of summer.
Local tip: Turin claims to be the home of the espresso-based drink 'bicerin' — worth trying at one of its historic cafés.
Getting around: Turin's porticoed streets make for easy, largely covered walking even in wet weather, with a small driverless metro line for longer hops across the city.
Good to know: Turin is also considered one of Italy's chocolate capitals — look for gianduja, a hazelnut-chocolate paste invented here, in cafés across the city.
What to plan your trip around
- Mole Antonelliana
A soaring 19th-century tower that now houses the National Museum of Cinema.
- Egyptian Museum
One of the largest collections of Egyptian antiquities outside Cairo.
- Piazza Castello
The grand central square ringed by royal palaces and porticoed streets.
- Mercato di Porta Palazzo
One of Europe's largest open-air markets, a good place to see everyday Turin away from the main sights.
