Best time to visit Turin
Spring (April-June) and autumn (September-October) offer mild weather, fewer crowds, and vibrant local festivals like the Salone del Gusto. Winter (December-February) is magical with Christmas markets and proximity to Alpine skiing. Summer (July-August) can be hot and crowded, but it's great for outdoor events and exploring the nearby Langhe wine region.
