Turin Metro Guide: Tickets, Stations and Local Transit

The turin metro is an automatic line running between Fermi in Collegno and Piazza Bengasi, passing through central Turin and serving both Porta Susa and Porta Nuova railway stations. GTT gives an average of 60 seconds between adjacent stations and about 25 minutes for the full Fermi–Bengasi journey.

For a wider plan of how to get around turin, start with the Metro for the main north–south connection, then use buses and trams for destinations beyond the line. GTT’s map and station-accessibility information can help you check the route before setting out.

Racconigi is about a 3-minute walk from Hotel Tourist. Bernini is about a 5-minute walk away, while Rivoli is about an 8-minute walk away. Racconigi is the closest of the three for getting onto the turin subway.

Choose the station that best fits your starting point rather than walking to a different stop without checking the route. GTT’s Metro map shows the line and its stations; its station information also covers accessibility.

GTT lists a City ticket at €1.90 digitally or €2.00 on chip-on-paper. It is valid for 100 minutes from first validation and includes one Metro journey. The ticket is for one person, and you must validate it each time you board a bus or tram or enter the Metro during its validity.

For a day of multiple trips, GTT lists a Daily ticket at €3.70 digitally or €4.50 on chip-on-paper, valid for unlimited travel on the urban and suburban network until the end of service on the day you first validate it. The ToMove app price is €3.00.

Contactless bank cards can be used at enabled Metro turnstiles and on listed bus routes. Listed City fares range from €1.70 to €2.00: the contactless City 100 costs €1.70 and is valid for 100 minutes, while digital and chip-on-paper City tickets cost €1.90 and €2.00 respectively.

Check the official site before you go for current fare details and where contactless payment is enabled.

At Metro stations, turnstiles accept smartcards, chip-on-paper tickets and magnetic-stripe tickets. Green arrows mark a turnstile that permits passage. Magnetic-stripe tickets need validation when you enter the Metro or board a bus or tram; within the ticket’s validity period, validate before boarding a train as well.

Turin’s surface network includes eight tram lines and 87 regular bus lines across the urban and suburban network, alongside special services. Buses and trams can fill gaps between Metro stations or take you to places away from the line.

When you board, validate a smart ticket or Under 26 pass at the onboard contactless reader before reaching the next stop. If you’re using a magnetic-stripe ticket, validate it as you board. GTT’s route-map page links to dynamic urban and suburban maps, a priority-lines PDF, Google Transit and a journey planner.

The GTT journey planner calculates routes and provides live bus and tram arrivals, route maps and timetables. For real-time arrival information, GTT also offers the Telegram bot gttorari_bot. The City of Turin’s MATO portal covers travel information for bus, tram, Metro, train, bicycle and car.

To reach the centre, use the Metro’s central stations and connections rather than assuming every destination sits directly on the line. The city centre is about a 14-minute drive from Hotel Tourist, while walking takes about 36 minutes.

For a day focused on central sights, pair a Metro trip with the route in Turin in a Day: A Practical Route Through the Centre. If the market is on your itinerary, check the practical details in the guide to Porta Palazzo Market and plan the final leg using GTT’s route planner.

Every Metro station has street-level elevators, dedicated access and exit turnstiles for passengers with motor or visual disabilities, LOGES tactile paths, and Braille labels on specified station features. Check GTT’s station accessibility information when choosing where to enter or change services.

Timetables and service arrangements can change. GTT says temporary Metro timetable changes are announced on its homepage and posted inside stations, so check before travelling. Its website journey planner is also useful for live bus and tram arrivals and route details.
