    Walk the perimeter trails while the light is soft and the park is quiet. The park is open from 10:00 to 16:00, so arrive early to make the most of the afternoon before the gates close.

    Stay for the sunset. The park faces WNW in April, offering a clear view of the sun dipping below the horizon. The vast grounds provide plenty of space to spread out a blanket and watch the light fade over the deer and wild boar habitats.

    End your evening with a drink inside the Venaria Reale palace. The grandeur of the royal halls provides a warm, elegant contrast to the cooling evening air outside. Check the route to Venaria Reale for access after dark.
