By Train

Torino is well served by the Italian railway System with direct lines connecting Torino with Milan, Genova and Rome. Turin is integrated in the european railways system.

The main lines are:

• Turin - Milan - Bologna - Venice - Trieste
• Turin - Genova - Pisa - Rome
• Turin - Bologna
• Turin - Lyon - Paris
• Turin - Savona/Ventimiglia - Nice

There are also direct international connections with Paris, gare de Lyon (7-8 hours during day or overnight train) and Barcelona (overnight).

Please notice that Torino has two train stations, named Porta Susa and Porta Nuova. The second one (Porta Nuova) is the main train station and you should always use it as your final stop. Taxis and public transportation by bus will easily be available in Porta Nuova while this may be more difficult in Porta Susa.

By Plane

The Torino (Turin) airport is located in Caselle, 15 Km from the city center of town. Passengers can take a bus from the airport to the Torino Porta Nuova railway station. Other airports easily reachable from Turin are the ones of Milan (Linate e Malpensa), Genoa and Nice (France).

The international airport of Torino (Turin) is daily connected (one or two flights per day depending on the connection) with several European airports, including Amsterdam, Barcellona, Brussels, Copenhagen, Frankfurt, Geneve, Lisboa, London, Madrid, Munich, Paris, Salonicco, Stuttgart, Stockolm, Zurich. People using transatlantic flights should therefore try to land in one of these destinations and then connect directly to Torino.

Alternatively, Milano, and Rome have direct international connections with many countries including the United States. There are then several flights each day between Rome and Torino. Milano is connected to Torino by rail but you must be aware of the fact that the Milano International Airport (Malpensa) is distant from the city so if you land there, you will have a one hour bus ride to connect to the railway station and then a 70-80 min train ride to Torino. This is therefore suboptimal and if possible you should try to fly directly to Torino.

From Torino airport, a bus (35 min ride running every 30-45 minutes) will bring you downtown. The bus has several stops in town. You should exit at Porta Nuova (the main train station, see above) where connections and public transportation will be easiest. Note that this is not the last stop for the bus so do not fall asleep.
