For travelers with a layover in Torino, the proximity of TRN to the city center is a real gift. Getting into town takes around 100 minutes via SADEM Bus and Railway Link, and we’ve mapped out the logistics so you can spend less time planning and more time exploring.
Essential Info Before You Head Out
Stepping out of the airport during a layover takes a little preparation. Here’s what to keep in mind at TRN:
First, verify that you can enter Italy — visa requirements depend on your nationality and can change. Second, know your timing: the SADEM Bus and Railway Link takes about 100 minutes into Torino, so add that up for the round trip plus security buffer. Third, have your payment sorted — EUR is the currency here. Cards are widely accepted in most places, but carrying some EUR in cash is a good idea for smaller vendors.
How to Get Into Torino
You have two main options for getting from Turin Airport into town:
- SADEM Bus and Railway Link: About 100 minutes, affordable, and consistent. This is what we recommend for time-conscious travelers.
- Taxi or ride-share: Around 120 minutes in normal traffic. More comfortable for groups or heavy luggage, but pricier and less predictable.
Whichever you choose, keep the return journey in mind. Build in extra time — you do not want to be rushing through security.
Storing Your Luggage at Turin Airport
You can store your luggage at No official luggage lockers or storage service available within the airport terminal.. Rates typically depend on bag size and duration.
If the airport lockers are full or inconveniently located, services like Bounce and Stasher list verified storage spots in and around Torino as well.
Layover Budget Breakdown
Quick budget math for your Torino layover:
| Expense | Estimated Cost (USD) |
|---|---|
| Round-trip transport | ~$11 |
| Meal | ~$22 |
| Buffer / extras | ~$10 |
| Total | ~$43 |
If you’re only out for a few hours, you might not need much cash at all — many places accept contactless payments.
Exploring Torino on a Layover
If you head into Torino, here are two things worth checking out:
Piazza Castello is a solid choice if you want to get a feel for the area. It’s a popular stop for visitors with limited time in Torino.
Mole Antonelliana (Exterior View) is another option that’s easy to fit into a short visit. The views are worth the trip if you have time.
If you’d rather stay inside TRN — maybe your layover is shorter than expected, or you just prefer to stay close to your gate — there are still ways to pass the time:
- Piemonte Lounge
- Shopping at Duty Free & Local Stores
Food & Dining Options
In Torino
If you make it into town, Porto di Savona is a good bet for a proper meal. For something different, try Pastificio De Filippis.
Inside TRN
If you’re staying in the terminal, Rossopomodoro is your main option. Caffè Vergnano 1882 works too if you want something quick.
Staying Connected
Most airports offer free WiFi these days, and TRN is no exception — connect and browse while you sort out your plans. If you’re heading into Torino and want data on the go, pick up a local SIM from a shop in the arrivals hall or download an eSIM before you land. Airalo and Holafly are popular options that let you set up data access before you even touch down.
Where to Rest During Your Layover
Sometimes the best layover plan is no plan at all. If you need sleep at TRN, scope out the quieter gate areas first. Noise-canceling headphones and an eye mask go a long way in a busy terminal.
Lounge access is another option if you want a real seat and maybe a shower. Check Priority Pass or ask at the information desk about day-use rates.
Final Thoughts
A layover in Torino with time to spare is really an invitation to explore. Torino may not have been on your original itinerary, but sometimes those surprise stops become the best part of a trip.
Just remember: set an alarm, know your gate, and leave time for security. Everything else is an adventure.
