Getting Around Turin

Turin is very easy to get around on foot and this is definitely the best way to explore and discover the different areas and neighbourhoods so there really is no need for a car (especially since parking is hard to find and can be expensive). The city also offers many forms of public transportation with local buses, trams and the metro running very frequently from 5am to midnight. Here’s some useful Turin travel information and travel trips for your trip…

Public Transport Tickets: tickets for the bus, tram and metro can be purchased at news-stands or at a local Tabaccherie (tobacco shop). You can also buy tickets for the metro at the metro station.

Urban ticket – € 1.50 Valid for 90 minutes from the first validation (only punch the ticket once, on the first boarded vehicle) on urban lines and on city lines of GTT suburban lines. It is also valid for a metro trip within the 90 minutes validity. It can only be used by one person.

Urban + suburban ticket – € 1.70 Valid for 90 minutes from the first validation (only punch the ticket once, on the first boarded vehicle) both on urban and suburban lines. It is also valid for a metro trip within the 90 minutes validity. It can only be used by one person.

Urban and suburban carnet of tickets A carnet of 5 and 15 tickets provide a considerable saving on purchasing one single ticket.

5- carnet – € 6.50
15-carnet – € 17.50

Note: When boarding public transportation you should punch your ticket immediately or at least before the first stop to avoid potential fines. If you have individual tickets, you should punch the ticket at the appropriate machine – usually grey or orange in colour. With cards, you can swipe the card against the blue machine provided. If you find yourself without a ticket, some trams (for example number 4 tram) provide a separate red machine from which to buy tickets at a cost of € 2.50. But it is best to avoid this option if possible and always carry a spare ticket in your wallet.
