Torino

April to June and September to October for mild weather; avoid August when much of the city, like elsewhere in Italy, quietens as locals holiday elsewhereBest time
ItalyRegion

Turin is Italy without the crowds: Baroque arcades and grand cafΓ©s built on Fiat and royal Savoy money, an Egyptian Museum second only to Cairo's, and chocolate traditions (gianduja, bicerin) that predate the Slow Food movement born nearby. The grid-planned centre sits under the Alps, visible on a clear day at the end of long straight avenues. It's a serious, elegant northern Italian city rather than a sun-drenched one β€” think coffee-and-vermouth aperitivo culture over beach-holiday energy.

Best forart, chocolate and coffee culture without the queues of Rome, Florence or Milan
When to goApril to June and September to October for mild weather; avoid August when much of the city, like elsewhere in Italy, quietens as locals holiday elsewhere
Getting aroundthe historic centre is compact and walkable; a single automated metro line (Line 1) plus trams covers the rest efficiently; San Salvario and the Quadrilatero Romano are both a short walk or two metro stops from Porta Nuova station
Where to stayQuadrilatero Romano for the oldest quarter's nightlife and aperitivo bars; San Salvario for a multicultural, lively base near Porta Nuova station and Parco del Valentino (best avoided right around the station itself at night); Centro Storico for the most compact, walkable base near the main museums and cafΓ©s
Maybe skip iftravellers chasing classic Mediterranean postcard Italy β€” Turin is northern, industrial-turned-elegant, and grey more often than golden
