TurinTorino

Give Turin 2 nights: one for the Savoy palaces and museums, one for the arcades, cafés and the Mole. Skip it as a base for the Alps — that's a separate trip.

Not yet checkedSourcesWhat these labels mean

Turin is Italy's first capital and the Savoy dynasty's baroque showpiece: 18 km of arcaded streets, five UNESCO-listed royal residences in the city and nine more across Piedmont. It is a working northern city, not a museum town, so the sights sit among offices, trams and aperitivo bars. Two nights covers the centre on foot; three lets you add a royal palace or the mountains.

Rules in force · 8Non-EU visitors get 90 days in any rolling 180-day window…
  • Europe ↗Non-EU visitors get 90 days in any rolling 180-day window, counted across all 29 Schengen states together — not per country; the Entry/Exit System now logs each crossing, so an overstay is detected automatically.
  • Europe ↗On the first Schengen entry since EES began, non-EU travellers give four fingerprints and a face photo at the border instead of a passport stamp; there is nothing to apply for or pay in advance.
  • Italy and Malta ↗The region's headline sights run on timed tickets that sell out: book the Vatican Museums, the Colosseum, the Uffizi, the Last Supper and Malta's Hypogeum before you fix train and hotel dates.
  • Italy and Malta ↗Budget for per-night city taxes in Italy (up to about €10 a person in Rome), Malta's per-night environmental contribution, and Venice's day-visitor fee on peak days; none are included in most online room prices.
  • Italy ↗Italy is in the Schengen area. Check the entry rules for your passport on official sources; the EU's Entry/Exit System registers non-EU visitors at the first Schengen border, and further pre-travel authorisation rules are being introduced.
  • Italy ↗Historic centres are ZTL limited-traffic zones: cameras fine any unauthorised car that enters, often months later through the hire company. Park outside and walk in.
  • Italy ↗Regional train tickets bought on paper must be validated in the machine on the platform before boarding; digital tickets carry a time and need no stamping.
  • Italy ↗Venice charges day-visitors an access fee on selected peak days; check the city's official site if you are not sleeping there.

Getting around

The centre is flat and arcaded, so walk it: Piazza Castello to Porta Nuova is about 20 min. GTT runs buses, trams and one driverless metro line (Linea 1, Lingotto–Fermi via Porta Nuova and Porta Susa). Buy and validate a ticket before boarding; a 100-minute ticket covers buses plus one metro ride. Taxis wait at the stations and at Via Sacchi; book with the WeTaxi app rather than hailing.

Watch out

Safety

Turin is a safe big city by day; the real annoyances are pickpockets on packed trams and around Porta Nuova, and late-night drink spiking in San Salvario and Vanchiglia. Keep bags zipped, avoid the Porta Palazzo and station edges after dark, and you'll be fine.
  • Validate your ticket on boarding: the on-the-spot fine is €25 (≈ US$30).
  • Trams, scooters and cars treat red lights loosely — look twice at crossings.
  • Restricted-traffic (ZTL) cameras cover the old town: don't drive in.
  • Museums close one weekday (often Monday) and many shut 13:00–14:00: check each site.
  • Turin's aperitivo is generous but not free — you pay for the drink, food comes with it.

  2. 4 airports and 4 areas to sleep in

Coming as the guide grows

  1. Airport-to-bed contract for TRN: last train and bus times field-checked, taxi fallback, overnight rung.
  2. Four walking clusters with rescue anchors: Piazza Castello, Porta Nuova and San Salvario, the river and Vanchiglia, Lingotto and the Automobile Museum.
  3. Place pages with verified cutoffs (Palazzo Reale, Egyptian Museum, Mole, Venaria) and eat pages with last orders.
  4. Hostile arrival fixtures (Sunday closures, museum Monday, fog) so gates A–D can go green.
