Where to stay
Getting around
Arriving
Porta Nuova (and Porta Susa). Porta Nuova faces the centre: Piazza San Carlo is a 10 minute arcaded walk. High-speed trains also call at Porta Susa on the metro line.
Turin Caselle (TRN)
- Torino-Ceres rail link to Porta Susa and the Rebaudengo pass-through · €3.70 · 30 minThe cheap, traffic-proof option since the line reopened
- Arriva airport coach to Porta Nuova and Porta Susa · €7.50 · 45 minRuns later hours than the train
Tickets · GTT
City ticket €2.00: 100 minutes incl. one metro ride (1.90 on the digital channels).
Passes: Daily €3.70.
One driverless metro line strings Porta Susa, Porta Nuova and the Lingotto together; the historic trams (take the 7 or 13 once for the ride) cover the elegant centre.
Tap a contactless card on the metro and modern trams/buses, or tabaccherie, machines and the ToMove app; digital tickets run cheaper than paper.
Stamp paper tickets on every boarding; tap-in applies per ride on contactless.
The centre is a grid of arcades made for walking; the daily pass earns its keep on a museums-plus-Superga kind of day.
On foot
- ·Turin walks like a French city: 18 km of porticoes, flat straight boulevards, and the royal centre compact between Porta Nuova and the river
- ·Cross the Po to the Gran Madre side and climb to the Monte dei Cappuccini for the Alps-behind-the-city view
Taxis and driving
- ·Ranks at both stations and the main piazzas; apps work well
- ·The central ZTL is camera-enforced on weekday mornings; park at Lingotto or a ring garage, the trams do the rest
