Although I love visiting Turin, Italy (Torino in Italian) and have been many times, I have always arrived via Milan or another Italian city. Recently, I had my first experience flying directly into Torino, and I was so impressed with how easy it was to get from the Turin airport to the city centre. Public transportation connections were easy (even with luggage), frequent and affordable, and there were also numerous options for those wanting a private transfer as well.

In my opinion, the best way to get from the Turin Airport to the city center is by bus or train. These two options are convenient, affordable, and easy to navigate even for a first-time visitor. However, I’ll also walk you through how to get to downtown Turin using regular public transit, taxi, or even a rental car if that’s how you prefer to travel.

How to Get from the Turin Airport to the City Center by Bus

There are two private bus companies that connect the Turin Airport with the city center.

Arriva Italia runs at least every 30 minutes from the airport to the city center. A ticket costs €7.50, and the trip takes about 45 to 50 minutes. Most buses stop at Porta Susa and Porta Nuova, with some continuing south to Lingotto. You can pay for your bus fare by tapping your credit card on the machine as you board the bus.

Flibco operates buses from the Turin Airport to the city center every thirty minutes. Their buses make only one stop: the Central Bus Station, which is a few blocks west of Porta Susa station on Corso Vittorio Emanuele II. Flibco tickets normally cost €6.99, but they also offer some discounts during off-peak travel times.

Schedules for both buses are posted at the bus stop outside the Departures building. I took the Arriva Italia shuttle as its stop near Porta Nuova was within easy walking distance of my hotel.

How to Get From the Turin Airport to the City Center by Train

There is a Trenitalia railway station at the Turin Airport. Regional train services connect the airport to the Porta Susa train station in the city center. Trains run every 30 minutes on weekdays and hourly on weekends. Fares cost €3.60 (available for purchase at the machines), and the journey takes about 35 minutes.

You can see the train schedule on the electronic boards at the station. Look for trains to Torino, Alba, or Fossano – they all stop at Porta Susa en route.

If you then need to connect to the bus or metro system in Turin, you can purchase an “Integrato B” ticket for €4.20, which includes the regional train trip, plus public transit within the city (for example, a connecting metro trip to Porta Nuova or Lingotto) for 120 minutes.

How to Get From the Turin Airport to the City Center by Public Transportation

You can also travel from the Turin Airport to the city center using the city’s public transit system, although it’s time-consuming and involves a few changes.

The public transportation system runs Bus #3971 from the airport to Porta Susa station. As part of the city’s “extra-urban” bus network, a single ticket costs €3.30, and the trip takes about 40 minutes.

Your ticket allows you to continue your journey from Porta Susa to other parts of the city center by metro, bus, or tram, if required.

How to Get from the Turin Airport to the City Center by Taxi

You can get from the Turin Airport to the city center by taxi. The trip should take approximately 30 minutes (longer during rush hour).

Expect to pay about €40 for the trip if your destination is near Porta Nuova, or about €50 if you’re traveling further south to Lingotto. Prices are fixed, and current rates will be posted at the taxi stand.

How to Get from the Turin Airport to the City Center by Uber

In Turin, Uber doesn’t operate as a ride-sharing app. Instead, it functions as a taxi app, connecting travelers with taxis and other licensed passenger vehicles. While you could give it a try, it wouldn’t offer any advantages over taking a traditional taxi.

Car Rentals at the Turin Airport

Personally, I wouldn’t want to rent a car to visit Turin. The city center is very walkable, and the public transportation network is excellent.

However, if you plan to travel from the Turin Airport to the cities and towns surrounding Turin, you might need to rent a car. In that case, follow the signs at the airport towards the train station, where you’ll find a hallway with various car rental companies.

Turin-Caselle Airport: Things to Know

Planning to fly in or out of the Turin airport? Here’s what you should know before you go:

Where is the Turin Airport?

The Turin-Caselle Airport is located in Caselle Torinese, a municipality of Turin, about 15 kilometers (10 miles) north of Turin’s city center.

As of Summer 2024, Caselle is a busy airport serving airlines including Ryanair, Air Dolomiti, Air France, British Airways, Iberia, KLM, Vueling, and WizzAir. Some charter airlines also offer additional seasonal flights to resort destinations.

Is it better to fly into Milan or Turin?

If you’re traveling to Turin, it’s easiest to fly into Turin. However, flights into Turin can be more expensive. For those on a budget, consider flying into Milan and taking the Arriva Italia bus from Malpensa Termina 1 or Terminal directly to Turin’s Porta Susa station. The trip costs €22 and takes two hours, with 15 daily departures. Booking online in advance is recommended to guarantee your seat.
