Travel Information

This section contains some indications on how to reach the train station of Torino Porta Nuova, that represents the heart of the public transport system of the city, and the city center from there. Since Google Maps has a convention with the public transport society, this searching engine may be a useful tool to reach whatever destination during your stay.

From Torino Airport

Coming by plane, the closest airport is the "Sandro Pertini" international airport in Torino (TRN), also known as Caselle Airport. From the airport, you have three options to reach Torino (more details and information can be found on the airport website):
  1. you may take the "SADEM bus service" directly from the airport to Torino Porta Nuova Railway Station (One-way fare: 6,50 €);
  2. you may take the connecting GTT train to the GTT Dora Railway Station;
  3. you may take a taxi from Torino airport for the whole trip to Torino city center (this option could be quite expensive: it may cost around 30/50 €. See the bottom of the section for details.).
From the Torino Dora Railway Station, take the bus number 11 or 52 at the stop in front of the station ("Dora GTT") and get off at the "Vittorio" or "Porta Nuova" stop respectively.

NOTE: for those who opted for the SADEM bus service, please notice that you may purchase the bus tickets inside the airport at the yellow ticket vending machines or at the newspaper kiosk up to 8 PM. Afterwards or alternatively, it is possible to buy them directly on the bus with an extra charge of 1 euro, but in this case you should be able to provide the exact amount.

From Milano Malpensa or Bergamo Orio al Serio Airport

Coming by plane, it may happen that flying to Milano Malpensa (MXP) or Bergamo Orio al Serio (BGY) turns out to be cheaper than flying to Caselle Airport. In this case, you may take the "SADEM bus service" as well. In both cases you may get off at the "Torino stazione FS Porta Susa" stop (From Milano Malpensa, One-way fare: 22,00 €. From Bergamo Orio al Serio, One-way fare: 25,00 €).

From the Porta Susa railway station, the best way to reach Porta Nuova is to take the underground M1 at the "XVIII Dicembre" or the "Porta Susa" station, direction "Lingotto", and then get off at the "Porta Nuova" station.

Please notice that reservation on this service is required. You may purchase the tickets on the SADEM webpage. For more information, please follow the link "SADEM bus service"

From Torino Porta Nuova to Piazza Castello

The easiest way is to take the tram number 4 at the "Porta Nuova" stop, get off at the "Garibaldi" one and then walk along Via Garibaldi to Piazza Castello. Crossing Piazza Castello, right on the other side of the castle "Palazzo Madama", you can find the beginning of Via Po and Via Verdi (they are very close here).
