Transportation to Airport from Turin City Center
Turin Airport
Turin is situated on the north-western side of Italy, one of the most popular countries in the world, in the Piedmont region, on the banks of the Po River surrounded by the Alps. Another known name for this city, which has a very long-established gastronomy culture, is ''gourmet paradise ''.
Apart from this, it is also the third most important city of Italy after Milan in terms of trade and tourism. Most of the trade is made up by the automotive sector. Turin, home to the FIAT factory, hosts the Turin Automobile Museum, one of the world's 10 oldest and largest automobile museums. One of the most famous cities in Europe, the industrial center has hosted the 2006 Winter Olympics. The city, with a population of around 1.5 million, has a developed public transportation system.
Transfers from Torino to the other cities of Italy, as well as transportation within the city are usually provided by metro and train. You can use buses, trams and metro which have regular services within the city of Turin as well as taxis. You can usually travel within the city of Turin without needing a taxi.
The cheapest and most preferred means of transportation by tourists and locals is train and trams. The other two preferred options in urban transport are buses and metro. The train lines, especially the Torino subway lines, are linked to each other in inner city spots as well as to other cities of Italy such as Milan.

The cost of single ticket in public transport in Turin is 1.5 Euros. There is a card called Torino-Piemonte, and most of the conscious tourists have this card because those who have this card travel with discount. Single-use, two day, three day, weekly, and monthly cards are available. The two day ticket is 7.2 euros, the three day ticket is 10 euros, and the 7 day ticket is 37 euros. In fact, the other beauty of these cards is it provides free access to many museums, theaters and parks.

Passengers who do not validate their tickets are subject to serious sanctions, such as a EUR 100 fine. This issue is very important since the tickets are valid for a certain time period.

You can purchase your train tickets online or at ticketing points at train stations.
