Arrival

    Turin's airport, Caselle (information 011.567.6361 or 011.567.6362, www.aeroportoditorino.it ), is 15km north of the city, connected by buses every 30 to 45 minutes with Porta Susa and Porta Nuova train stations (40min; €5.50, €6.50 if you buy your ticket on board). The flat-rate taxi service to or from the airport costs €30. Turin's main train station, Porta Nuova, on Corso Vittorio Emanuele II at the southern end of Via Roma, is convenient for the city centre and hotels. Some trains also stop at Porta Susa on Corso Inghilterra (Piazza XVIII Dicembre), west of the centre and heralded as the city's primary hub in the near future. Close by, at Corso Vittorio Emanuele II, 131/H, is the main bus station ( www.autostazionetorino.it ), the arrival and departure point for most intercity and all international buses; however, local buses to Saluzzo and Cúneo arrive at, and leave from, the top of Corso Marconi, near the junction with Via Nizza. The bus station is linked to Via Nizza (near Porta Nuova) and Porta Susa by bus #9.
