The closest airport is Caselle (code TRN) but there are few flights, the other airport is Malpensa (code MXP) that is near Milan. You can also consider other airports like Linate (close to Milan) or Genova.
Taxis to/from Caselle: the service is more expensive, and are subject to the traffic jam.
2008 UPDATE: flat fare all inclusive (7/7, 24/24, luggage, night sur-charge, and so on) 30 euro from and to Torino city center;
be aware: this means the "ZTL ambientale" a limited central area, light green shaded in this interactive map
and downloadable as a pdf file.
Railway to/from Caselle: You arrive in Dora Station then you have to take a bus to arrive in city center. And it can be boring depending on the weight of your luggage and the time you have to spend (but no traffic problem)
Bus to/from Caselle: there are 30 rides per day, and cost 5 euro one-way. 30 min. Direct to/from the very center (with some stops along the way).
Railway to/from Malpensa : you have to go first to Milan. From airport there is a train ("Malpensa Express") that connect the airport with Milano Cadorna station , then you have to go from Cadorna station to Centrale station and for this you can use the metro. Then from Centrale station there are a lot of trains to/from Turin. All this trip will take a lot of time (3 hours and more, minimum) and transfers (remember to consider the weight of your luggage).
Bus to/from Malpensa : there are only 3 rides per day (this is the bad), but it will cost only 17,50 euro one-way, and it take 2 hour (in these days 2h and 30 min because of the work in the highway) and you arrive very near the center (from the bus terminal a taxi ride to Piazza San Carlo will cost 5 euro)

I've taken many routes to Turin.
The best way of getting there is by plane, but I've also taken a long coach journey there, stopping off in Lyon on the way and Paris on the way back.

The Cittā di Torino Airport (Sandro Pertini), open to commercial and international traffic, is 16 kilometres north north west of the town centre and is connected to the motor-way system via the North ring road. Present modernisation works have placed this air station in the vanguard in Europe and even more reliable and safe, beside increasing its already first class receptivity.
The "Cittā di Torino - Sandro Pertini" Airport is the natural arrival point for international tourism, especially during the winter season, for connection with the splendid mountain resorts of Piedmont and the Valley of Aosta.
A continuous coach service operates at the airport for Turin and vice versa.
Bus service between downtown Turin and Turin Airport with several stops enroute including, Porta Nuova main railway station, Porta Susa railway station.

Torino has an international airport (www.aeroportoditorino.it) that is connected by regular flights from most of the major cities all around Europe. From the airport, you can easily get a bus to the city centre (there are several buses/day) - this will cost you about 8 euros and takes about 40 minutes to get there.
If you're planning to land at Malpensa Airport, in Milano, you can easily get to Torino by bus or train. There are about 3 buses/day heading directly to the centre of Torino from Malpensa Airport, and this will take you about 2 hours. Trains are faster and far more confortable, and there is a train running nearly every hour between the cities.
The railway system in northern Italy is very wide and efficient, allowing you to get to Torino from virtually any place in Europe.
When you arrive in Torino, you will find a huge public bus and tram network, that allows you to go everywhere within the city and its surroundings. You can get your ticket and map in one of many local shops all over the city. It is not expensive at all, and timetables are strictly respected.
You can get more information at www.comune.torino.it/atm. Leave a Comment Theme: Airplane

Don't book or take a shuttle bus from Malpensa to Turin, rather go by train.
In a nutshell: take "Malpensa Express" from the airport to Milan Cadorna station (12 EUR). Then you have to take metro line 2 (green line) to "Centrale" train station (0.9 EUR), where you can buy a ticket for a train heading for Turin (there's a train approximately in every 30-45 minutes) (this ticket is approx. 15-20 EUR depending on the train type).
I took an AV ("Alta Velocitta" - high speed) train, and was served a free drink during the travel! :) Leave a Comment Theme: Airplane

 always researching! by sue_stone
Once you get the hang of it, train travel in Italy is easy. It is also a great way to see the beautiful countryside on the way to your next destination.
I have travelled a couple of times using a rail pass, but the last couple of visits have just purchased tickets for each individual trip as we went.
That said, we often have purchased tickets a day or two in advance - particularly if the particular train requires a seat reservation, or if it is a busy time of year.
Purchasing a little in advance also means that you don't miss the train you want to catch due to a huuuuuge queue for tickets...
Last trip we used the automatic ticket machines at the stations and found them excellent.
Also, I have travelled both first and second class, and didn't really find much difference - travel second class and you can use the extra money to buy more wine/food etc
Just remember with all tickets that you need to validate them in the small yellow ticket machines before you board your train. Leave a Comment
