The best places to visit in May
May is the month of blooming gardens and frolics in the northern hemisphere, but it also allows travelers to explore new horizons. This is a series of pointers on what to do in May: in Europe, one can visit Turin, enjoy the perfect weather and world-class cuisine of Italy; or Mykonos – a paradise for beach lovers and swimmers on the Greek islands. Chiang Mai is our choice for May travel in Asia due to its Loi Krathong and Yee Peng festivals. Finally, flying to North America will show the grandeur of nature in Yosemite and enjoy sunny days in Montreal, Canada.

Turin
It is not as popular as Rome, Milan, or Venice, but if you want to really immerse yourself in local life, Turin is one of the top choices.
One of the best things about visiting Turin in May is the weather: it is pleasantly cool, with temperatures of approximately 20°C, making walking around a pleasure. The city has one of the most extensive collections of Baroque, Renaissance, Rockoco and Neo-classical architecture in the world.
Turin is a foodie city, and it is also 50 km from the birthplace of the Slow Food Movement, Bra. Truffles, cheeses, wines, and chocolates are all popular, but the native Bicerin cannot be missed. This hot drink is made in a round glass with espresso, chocolate, and whole milk expertly layered within.
It is easy to forget that Turin was the original capital of Italy. However, many tourists are genuinely surprised to learn about the former house of the Italian royal family, the House of Savoy, which always reminds them of the city’s political and cultural significance.
