Getting to Turin

EAA 2027 — Getting to Turin

Turin sits at a natural crossroads between Italy, France and the Alps, and is wonderfully easy to reach — by air, by high-speed train and by road. Here is everything you need to plan your journey to the Congress.

By air

Turin Airport (Caselle) — TRN

Turin’s own airport lies about 16 km north of the city centre (around 30 minutes by car), with daily flights to major Italian and European cities. Website: aeroportoditorino.it.

From the airport to the city:

Airlines serving Turin

Turin is served by around two dozen airlines:

• Low-cost: Ryanair and Wizz Air — both have a base at Turin — plus easyJet, Vueling, Volotea and Jet2, with connections across Europe.
• Full-service: ITA Airways, Air France, KLM, Lufthansa / Air Dolomiti, British Airways, Iberia, Turkish Airlines, Finnair, SAS, LOT Polish Airlines, airBaltic and Aer Lingus.

Direct flights are mostly within Europe and the Mediterranean; for intercontinental journeys you will usually connect through a hub (Frankfurt, Paris, Istanbul…) or fly via Milan.

Milan airports (for intercontinental and low-cost flights)

For long-haul and additional international or budget connections, Milan Malpensa (MXP), about 100 km away, is Italy’s main intercontinental gateway. Website: milanomalpensa-airport.com.

• By coach: direct daily connections to Turin (Arriva), journey time about 2 hours.
• By car: A4 Milan–Turin motorway (exit Novara), then SS32 toward Oleggio, following signs for Malpensa.

Airlines serving Malpensa

As one of Europe’s major hubs, Malpensa offers by far the widest choice — including a strong low-cost offer, which is why budget travellers often find more options via Milan than via Turin:

• Low-cost: easyJet runs its largest continental-Europe base here (Terminal 2), while Ryanair and Wizz Air operate from Terminal 1.
• Intercontinental & full-service: Emirates, Qatar Airways, Singapore Airlines, Cathay Pacific, Turkish Airlines, Etihad, Delta and ITA Airways, among many others.

Tip: Malpensa’s low-cost carriers are split between terminals (easyJet at T2; Ryanair and Wizz Air at T1), so check your terminal before travelling.

Milan’s other airports can help too: Bergamo Orio al Serio (BGY) is a major Ryanair low-cost base, and Linate (LIN) — closest to the city — handles mostly full-service short-haul flights. Both are linked to Turin by coach.

To compare routes and fares across airlines and both airports, use a flight search engine such as Google Flights or Skyscanner.

By train

Turin has two central stations, both a short tram or metro ride from the venue:

• Torino Porta Susa — the high-speed hub, also served by Metro Line 1.
• Torino Porta Nuova — the historic central station.

Frecciarossa (Trenitalia) and Italo high-speed trains link Turin to Milan in about 1 hour, and onward to Bologna, Florence, Rome, Venice and Naples. International high-speed services connect Turin with France (Lyon, Paris) via SNCF.

By car

Piedmont is served by modern motorways reaching Turin from every direction:

• A4 Turin–Milan–Venice — from central and eastern Europe
• A5 Turin–Aosta/Mont Blanc — from France and Switzerland
• A6 Turin–Savona — from Liguria and southern France
• A21 Turin–Piacenza — from central and southern Italy
• A32 Turin–Fréjus — from France

From France and Switzerland, Turin is reached through the Alpine road tunnels: Mont Blanc, Fréjus (on the A32) and the Grand St Bernard.

Good to know: Turin’s historic centre has a Limited Traffic Zone (ZTL) with restricted daytime access on weekdays, and on-street parking is regulated. If you travel by car, choose a hotel with parking and use public transport within the city.

Getting around the city: Turin is compact and green, with trams, buses and a driverless metro that make it easy to move around. See Practical Information for tickets, apps and local transport once you’re here.
