Means of transport Piedmont

GTT manages the public transport network in Turin and 25 other municipalities, with some 100 lines divided between bus, streetcar and subway. As a tourist, it's easier to use the single metro line and the streetcar lines, which are easier to read than the bus. 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. All the main Italian cities are accessible by taking the train here. Built between 1861 and 1868, the roof of the station is a 48 m high wrought-iron armour, which was considered an architectural feat for the time. 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.

The lake connections from Arona to Switzerland allow you to discover the beauty of the lake.

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.
