Public transport in Turin

Turin is a convenient, well-connected city that is a pleasure to explore both on foot and by public transport. The network is run by GTT – Gruppo Torinese Trasporti and is efficient, punctual and easy to use even for those who don’t know the city. For everything to do with buying tickets, click here.

The Host’s tip: the easiest way to find your way around is Google Maps. Enter your location and your destination, select “public transport” and in a few seconds you have your route, times and connections. We use it ourselves every time we need to suggest an itinerary to our guests.

Getting around Turin
Buses and Trams

Buses and Trams

Turin’s trams and buses, which we Turinese affectionately call “pullmann”, cover the whole city extensively. The network includes 8 tram lines and more than 80 bus lines, with a service that starts at around 5:00 in the morning and ends at about midnight. Timetables may vary slightly depending on the line and the day of the week.

From our place you’re on the move straight away: the B&B is less than a 5-minute walk from the stops for tram 3 and buses 6, 56 and 61, which connect you directly to the city centre, Porta Nuova station and the main points of interest. Step outside, walk for a minute and you’re already on your way.

The Historic Tram

The Historic Tram

Line 7 is dedicated to 20 historic trams, restored and used for tourist routes through the streets of the centre, following the philosophy of a “museum in motion”. These charming vehicles run on Sundays, public holidays and on occasions such as Christmas and Easter.

You can also book a seat on the ristotram: two carriages where you can enjoy aperitifs, lunches and dinners for a truly unique experience. An unusual and very Turinese way to experience the city.

The Metro

The Metro

Turin has just one metro line, but it holds a record we're proud of: it's the first and only driverless automatic metro in Italy. Waiting times are minimal, with a train every 69 seconds at peak times. The line crosses the heart of the city, connecting the historic Lingotto factory in the south with the town of Collegno in the north-west, passing through the main squares and stations.

On Fridays and Saturdays the service is extended until 1:30 am.

The Sassi-Superga Tramway

The Sassi-Superga Tramway

For an experience out of the ordinary, climb aboard the tramway that connects Borgata Rosa-Sassi to the top of the Superga hill. Opened in 1934, this historic line travels through 18 minutes of breathtaking scenery aboard picturesque red-and-cream vintage carriages, arriving at the magnificent Basilica of Superga designed by Filippo Juvarra.

A little journey back in time, with a view of the Alps that is not easily forgotten.

City Sightseeing Tourist Buses

If you want to discover Turin in a comfortable, panoramic way, the double-decker tourist buses are an excellent option. The service is divided into four lines:

  • Line A. The main attractions of the centre, the museums and the view over the hill and the Po, with the Parco del Valentino and the medieval village
  • Line B. The Lingotto, Eataly, the Olympic sports venues, the Automobile Museum and the Pinacoteca Agnelli
  • Line C. The Reggia di Venaria Reale, the Allianz Stadium, the Juventus Museum and the Lavazza Museum

Coming by Car? No Problem

The B&B is located near the Gran Madre, outside Turin's ZTL (Zona a Traffico Limitato – restricted traffic zone): no risk of a fine on your way to us. You have to pay to park on the street, as everywhere in the central area, but our guests can park free of charge inside our private courtyard. No small advantage right in the city centre.
