The tourist center is largely criss-crossed by these two networks, and the tramway is very pleasant, especially the older trains. Please note: tickets are not sold on board, but at GTT offices, vending machines in the metro, newsagents and tobacconists.

Located on the Via Roma axis, a strategic point of the city, it is the main railway station of Turin and the third largest railway station in Italy.

A ten-minute walk separates Porta Nuova from the city centre, but you can also take metro line 1 and tram lines 4 and 9.

A private company that is an alternative to the services of Navigazione Lago d'Orta, to connect the island of San Giulio from Orta with beautiful boats. The company has been in existence since 1923 and allows the lake to be used every day of the year, thanks to its eight boats. But the company is also available for special excursions on request, and of course the rental or privatization of a boat for special events.

The boat is the best way to enjoy the lake and its landscapes but also, from Orta San Giulio, to reach the west coast, in particular Pella, San Filiberto and Lagna (with a stopover on the island of San Giulio) or the extreme north of the lake (Orta - Omegna). From April to September, about ten crossings a day make a loop serving these destinations, but only on Sundays in March and October, and none in winter. This local company has a fleet of three boats that can carry 70, 107 and 295 passengers respectively.

It is easy to organize your own itinerary to explore the main points of interest: the Rocca d'Angera, the Sanctuary of Santa Caterina del Sasso, the Borromeo Islands, the gardens of Villa Taranto, Villa Pallavicino and Locano. Embarking on a boat with a large number of open-air seats allows you to admire the landscape. The fleet is vast, you only have to choose: modern boats, hydrofoils, catamarans and period ships criss-cross the lake.
