Getting around by train Piedmont

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.

This station, Turin's second largest after Porta Nuova, serves European destinations (including France with TGV trains to and from Paris-Gare de Lyon) and local destinations such as Milan. Opened in 1868 and completely restructured in 2013, its futuristic architecture is part of Turin's urban renewal projects. The city center can be reached on foot in 15 minutes, but you can also take metro line 1 and streetcar lines 10 and 13, as well as numerous buses. You can also take the train to the airport.

Located to the south of the city, in the homonymous district, this station, the third busiest in Turin, has been serving southern Piedmont, the Cuneo region and Liguria since 1960. Ample parking is available nearby. Please note that the Lingotto metro station on line 1 is some 2 km from the station, so it's best to take a bus to the city center. Trains run directly to other stations, such as Porta Nuova and Porta Susa. You can also take the train to the airport.

Trenitalia is the railway company that manages Italy's railroads. From Paris-Gare de Lyon, it offers two daily departures to Turin on its high-speed Freccia rossa train. The journey to the beautiful capital of Piedmont takes just 6 hours, with fares starting at 29 euros!

Following the landslide in the Maurienne on August 27, 2023, high-speed rail traffic between France and Italy has been suspended. At the time of updating this guide, a reopening in September 2024 is envisaged, but there is no certainty...

It's the TGV station from Paris for those who want to go to Sauze d'Oulx.

Italo, the fourth-generation high-speed train launched in 2012 by the private company Nuovo Trasporto Viaggiatori, a competitor of the national company Trenitalia, is the fruit of the Alstom Group's technological creativity. The company offers numerous daily connections between Turin and Milan, Venice, Padua, Florence, Rome, Naples, Salerno, and many other Italian cities.
