Getting around
Most of Turin's sights are within walking distance of Porta Nuova station, although if you're pushed for time you should take advantage of the city's fast and efficient tram and bus network ( 
www.gtt.to.it ). Tickets, valid for seventy minutes, must be bought before you board – they cost €1 each or €13.50 for fifteen from tabacchi and newsstands. Useful routes include tram #4, which heads north through the city from Porta Nuova along Via XX Settembre to Piazza della Repubblica; bus #1 between Porta Nuova and the Lingotto centre; tram #15 from Porta Nuova to Piazza Castello; bus #61 from Porta Nuova across the river; and bus #34 from Porta Nuova to the Sassi-Superga tramway. Alternatively, it's possible to explore the city by City Sightseeing (daily, circuit every hour 10am–8pm, Jan & Feb until 4pm; €15, valid 24hr), which operates a hop-on-hop-off circular route that takes in the major sights. You can pick it up at Piazza Castello and eight other points along the route. Tickets can be bought on the bus. Taxi ranks are found on most of the main squares in the centre of Turin, as well as at the bus and train stations and the airport, or dial 
011.5730 or 011.5737.
