Shuttle bus (recommended)

The Arriva-operated shuttle bus connects Torino-Caselle Airport directly to Turin's two main train stations, Porta Nuova and Porta Susa, making it easy to continue on to your hotel or straight into a day of sightseeing. Journey time is typically 40–45 minutes depending on traffic. Bring your Torino Card to access the discounted fare on this route.

Taxi

Taxis operate from a rank directly outside arrivals. This is the fastest door-to-door option but costs considerably more than the shuttle. Always confirm you're using an official, metered taxi.

Car rental

If your itinerary includes Piedmont day trips beyond what public transport easily reaches — such as Racconigi Castle — renting a car at the airport can be worthwhile, though it's unnecessary for a Turin-only city visit given how walkable the center is.

Planning your first day

If you land in the morning, the shuttle gets you into the city center in time to start sightseeing that afternoon — see our 1-day Turin itinerary for how to make the most of a partial first day.
