Torino Bike Pride
3 more images

Two-wheeler awareness, and presence to stimulate the city administrators, find common ground through the Bike Pride event. Some 5,000 cyclists gathered for the 2010 and 2011 editions in the Parco del Valentino. Food, music and plenty of good company before and after the parade through the city streets.
Early June is the typical timing for this yearly event, but the 2011 edition was postponed to July 10 due to bad weather.
One more bike means one less car :)

Giretto d'Italia

And the winner is....Torino!

On May 3rd, 2011, the Ministry of the Environment sponsored the "Giretto d'Italia". Not a real competition but rather a survey in 27 participating cities falling into three categories - large, medium and small cities. Commuting cyclists were counted through checkpoints in between 8,30 and 9,30 AM and Torino scored the highest count among large competing cities.

You can book ticket online.. the tren ticket in Italy is comparatively cheaper than Germany. We took train to visit Milano, Venezia and Genoa.. it was convenient..

Remember to print the ticket before getting on the train.. you will find the machine on the platform.. the train attendant will check the ticket during the trip...

Torino - Cycling Paths

After years of debate and pressure form citizens and organizations, a lot has been done in town to ease the discomfort and danger of who cycles around.
Although a lot more can be done - the dedicated cycling paths are currently being expanded - the city can now count on a decent network. With a yearly average precipitation amount of some 1,300 mm (52 in), leisure biking is for all and commuting sees an increasing popularity especially throughout traffic-banned downtown areas.
The City Council has bikes for rent at disposal for a fair rate at a few locations in town.

Network city maps are available at any information center in town. Link herebelow to such map.

It is relatively easy to get to Torino by train. Eurostar Italia, Intercity and regional trains connect the city of the Mole to Milano, Venezia, Trieste, Bologna, Roma and cities of Southern Italia. Many local railways connect Torino to the other main towns of Piemonte and there are also three Eurocity trains to Paris.
There were more direct trains to Torino until December 2005, when the new timetable entered into force: direct interregional trains (like the one I took from Bologna) have been eliminated and partly replaced with Intercity trains. Many travellers were unhappy with Trenitalia, the Italian railway operator, and the involved regions (Piemonte, Lombardia, Emilia Romagna and Liguria) are negotiating to get a better timetable. The interregional trains between Bologna and Torino have been re-introduced in September 2006.
The new high-speed line between Torino and Novara, a part of the Torino-Milano connection and of the trans-european corridor nr. 6 Lyon-Torino-Milano-Venezia-Trieste-Ljubljana Budapest, went into service on 10th February 2006, on the occasion of the beginning of the Winter Olympics.
GTT, the operator of the local transport of Torino, also run some railway lines (you can see a map here), including one to the Caselle Airport.
I took these pictures while travelling on the Bologna-Torino train.

Torino's

In Italy, and as well Turin you don't buy tickets for the bus aboard. You need to have your ticket before getting on the bus.
You can buy it in some bars, tabaccherie or newagent. If you need to take the bus on suday be sure you buy the ticket a day before, because a lot of shops are closed and if you are not in the city center it could be a problem.

If you want to know what time is coming the bus, write a sms to 0039 339-9949990 with the number of the bus stop (you find it on the post)

This is an internet site form the Bus company in Turin, you can write in there where u need to go and where are you and it tells you how to get there!!!!
Incredible, it works good, even though made by Italians :-)

Turin tram

Turin has a an extensive tram network. So extensive that it can be quite difficult to work out which trams you need to use and where you should change. There are maps at major tram stops and also available for download at the website linked here (go to the download section).

Train Line

Easy train connection from/to the Caselle (Sandro Pertini) city airport.
As of today, one-way fare is 3.40 Euro. Tickets can be bought at newspaper or tobacco (large "T" signs) stores. Such ticket includes access to urban buses and trams, provided that last bus or tram is boarded (ticket must be punched again) within 70 minutes from the initial punch time.

Part of the Torino-Ceres train line, the terminal is Torino Dora station which is not too far from Piazza Statuto.

Distances from city center: 10, 25, 50 and 100 Km

Torino is perfectly located at the center of a relatively small territory where treasures abound in every direction. Circles in this image are centered in Piazza Castello and have a radius of 10, 25, 50 and 100 Km (6, 15, 31 and 62 mi respectively), and can help determining what can be done in a day if choosing your soles, bicycle tires or a car's wheels and public transportation.

The small, inner green circle (10 Km radius) encompasses the whole city of Torino and a good portion of its hill, and touches a couple of Royal residences while being just short of the city airport.
Next red circle spans from the Avigliana Lakes to the gentle hills of the Monferrato area.
One more notch - blue - waves at the French border and the Gran Paradiso National Park on one side and truffles and wineland to the other.
The 100-Km radius circle extends from the highest peak in Europe to the Mediterranean Sea, Lago Maggiore, Aosta Valley region, Switzerland and over 80% of all Piedmontese valleys.
