Public Transportation within Turin

The venue is located within walking distance of the city centre (20’).

Turin has an extensive public transportation network that, through a combination of subway, bus and streetcar, reaches all major university sites.

  • Buses and trams

Torino local transportation is served by GTT – Gruppo Trasporti Torinese, which manages one subway line (“metropolitana” or “metro”), urban and suburban networks. Buses and trams usually run from 5 a.m. until midnight on weekdays (there are special lines called “Nightbuster” run until 5 a.m.).

Tickets can be purchased at any news-stand, tobacconist and at the 24h automatic vending machines available in every Metro station. You can also pay directly on board with your credit card, with contactless system “Tap&Go” or using the Mobile App GTT TOMove.

The price of the ticket depends on the trip (local or suburban), on its length (one ticket lasts 100 minutes, but there are tickets for the whole day) and on the amount of tickets bought together (carnets of tickets offer discounts on the price of the single ticket).

On the GTT website you can check out prices, passes, timetables and plan your bus journey throughout the city. Make sure to check this website regularly to be aware of variations and changes.
