You Are Here.

A fact that no one can argue about is that Torino lay on a Roman scheme, with the city streets strictly hortogonal each others. So it's hard for a local to get lost. Normally.
On the hill of Torino, instead, the streets become winding.
But, no fear! When you are driving toward the hill, you find this road signal, that explain you all the directions you like to follow up the hill.
Easy. Innit?
(uh, remember that there is a queue of cars behind you, while you quickly take a glance to the signal ;-)

Torino - Public Transportation
by ant1606
Torino has a consistent network of public transportation and is served by bus, tram and one subway line. Individual tickets aren't sold on-board and must be purchased at newspaper, tobacco and certain other stores. Tickets must be validated by punching within the first stop and are valid for 70 minutes even if multiple bus and tram lines are required to reach destination. Punch again each time you board. This is anyway a single ride and in no case you can use the same ticket for return, not even if within the aforesaid 70 minutes. Subway works differently and each ride requires its title.
If the start of journey or destination lies beyond the city limits, an urban ("urbano") type ticked is insufficient. Buy the "suburbano" instead - suburban refers to the outer belt of communes immediately adjacent to Torino.
In addition to train lines to and from out of town, many destinations are reached by mid-range bus service. Check website herebelow for maps, weekly/monthly plans and info on suburban and extra-urban fares.
One of the most famous restaurants
by Mikebond about Baratti & Milano
"Baratti & Milano" is one of the most ancient, deluxe and expensive restaurants I've seen in Torino. It is located at the entrance of the Galleria Subalpina. I didn't have lunch there but if you have a lot of money, you may find it great.
