Welcome to Torino, the host city of WordCamp Europe 2024 and Italy’s elegant hub for innovation and creativity. We know you want to maximize your stay and benefit from all you can savor in the city, both during conference and beyond!

To streamline your travels, experience as much of the city as possible, and reduce the chance of getting lost (though that can be a wonderful way to discover the unexpected!), we have created this simple guide to public transport in Torino.

This guide describes the different options, how and where to buy tickets, current prices and discounts, the main stations, and routes to and from the venue – the Lingotto Center (Lingotto Fiere). This guide also includes directions for getting to the historic Centro – downtown Torino.

Public Transport Options

Torino’s Metro M1 is the first automatic subway line in Italy. It includes an extensive network of more than 80 routes (both buses and trams), with accessible stations, stops, and vehicles.

GTT or Gruppo Torinese Trasporti is the operator of public transport in Torino – buses, trams, the Metro, and urban railways.

Metro M1 service hours

• Monday – Thursday: First departure at 5:30 AM, last underground* departure at 9:30 PM, end of underground* service 10:00 PM

*Metro service is substituted by bus “Metro M1S” with bus substitute following the same routes from: 10:00 PM till 12:00 AM.

Bus & Tram service hours

Service usually begins between 4:30 AM & 5:30 AM depending on the line type, destination, and frequency of use. Service ends between midnight and 1:30 AM.

There is no official announcement on service hours for bus and tram services, as the city’s network is currently under maintenance work at various locations/lines. However, the estimates above are the most accurate and have been tested for more than 10 lines of both types and at different times of the day.

How and Where to Buy Tickets

You can buy GTT transport tickets from any metro station (least advised), tobacconists, or other shops/bars that show the GTT logo on their shop entrance.

One of the best options is to download the GTT TO Move app, now available on both Android & Apple devices, with discounted rates for tickets purchased with the app.

Additional Service Information

Google Maps mostly provides real-time information about bus arrivals.

However, you can still check the bus and tram arrival times by entering the stop number “fermata” on the official GTT timetable Telegram bot: “gttorari_bot“

Additional useful options that provide real time information would be MoovIT app as well as MATO app.

Getting to the Centro

If you’re planning to get to Torino’s historical “Centro” and enjoy the heart of the city, as well as all the culinary and cultural experiences, here are three areas you may wish to explore:

From Porta Susa Station, walk ~3 minutes to Piazza XVIII Dicembre then take one of the following lines: Bus 13, Bus 55, or Bus 56 that drop you off at Piazza Castello (or a stop earlier due to recent ongoing work on some routes). You can also take Bus 72 or Bus 72/, which will drop you off at a stop named “Bertola Cap”. Walk 4-minutes to Piazza Castello, the heart of a tourist area with many restaurants, hotels, BnBs, and shops on every corner.

From Porta Nuova Station, cross the street in the direction of Piazza Carlo Felice, and voila, you are on your way to the famous Via Roma: the main tourist street of Torino, which passes through the main tourist attraction, Piazza San Carlo, and ends at Piazza Castello.

From Lingotto Station, take Bus 18 from the station and it will drop you off at Via Po, one of Torino’s main streets at the heart of Centro.

We hope this information helps you easily travel around Torino.
