Rain days are the days with at least 1 mm of rain, as a weather station counts them.

Weather read at Piazza Castello, 15 km from the airport (TRN): ten years of ERA5 and ERA5-Land reanalysis, through Open-Meteo's open data.

A busy month is a crowded one, not a bad one — usually it is crowded because the weather is good. It is flagged rather than scored down, and crowds alone never make a month “avoid”: that is reserved for weather worth skipping.

How busy it gets

Busiest in July and August; quietest from December to February.

Then and now

Turin's June days now average 28.3°C, 5.8°C warmer than in 1981–1990. 12 of 12 months are clearly warmer.

Getting there

How far Turin is, and what it costs, depends on where you set off from — the months above do not.

Before you go

Type C and F and L plugs at 230 V. Drives on the right. The currency is the Euro. No UK Foreign Office advice against travel. Everything for Italy: cost of living, languages, emergency numbers and health.

Being there

On arrival

Paying — By law, shops, cafés and bars must take a card payment of any amount, and refusing one is fined. Carry a little cash for tips.
UPI, for visitors from India — Not accepted for paying here; bring a card that works abroad.
Tipping — Not customary; restaurants outside Rome often add a cover charge (coperto). Leaving the change in cafés and taxis is common.

Getting around Turin

Tap a contactless bank card or phone at the metro's Tap&Go gates and on buses and trams marked with a yellow sticker, and again with the same card at each change: a City ticket (€1.90) lasts 100 minutes, with one metro ride. The GTT TO Move app also sells a Daily (€3.70); validate it on the reader, or in the app where there is none. The airport train reaches Porta Susa in about half an hour (€3.70).

Apps — Rides: FreeNow, itTaxi, Uber. Maps: Google Maps, Apple Maps. Messages: WhatsApp. In Rome these apps book licensed taxis; Uber also offers the dearer Uber Black.

Turin has an inefficient, integrated system of buses, trams and metro all operated by GTT. These run 06:00-00:30, and out of hours there are night buses fanning out from Piazza Vittorio Veneto. More on Wikivoyage

Kind of place

Turin is in Italy, Europe. Distances are great-circle, so a short one can still be a long way round.
