35-minute ride from Turin Porta Susa to the airport
Trenitalia runs a direct rail link to Turin Airport (TRN) from Torino Dora and city-center stations like Porta Susa in about 30–35 minutes. Trains use the dedicated airport stop "Torino Aeroporto" connected to Terminal T1 by a short covered walkway of roughly 5 minutes on foot.
Services typically run every 30 minutes in the daytime, with first departures from the city around 05:00 and last returns from Torino Aeroporto often after 22:00; always check the specific Trenitalia timetable for your date. The airport station sits on the Turin–Ceres line, so watch for trains showing "Torino Aeroporto" on the departure boards rather than just the line name.
Standard one-way fares from central Turin to Torino Aeroporto usually land around €3–€4 per person in 2nd class. Tickets are valid only for the booked train if you buy a specific departure online, while paper tickets bought at machines in Porta Susa or Dora stations need validation in the green or yellow machines before boarding to avoid a fine.
The airport rail station is fully landside, so you walk directly from the platform into the public arrivals level of T1 in about 200–300 meters. If you are arriving by air and heading into town, follow signs for "Treni" or "Railway Station" immediately after exiting baggage claim, rather than heading to the bus stands or taxi rank in front of the terminal.
Ticket machines for Trenitalia sit in major city stations like Torino Porta Susa and Porta Nuova and usually accept cards and cash, while Torino Aeroporto has kiosks near the station access path. Buying in advance on the Trenitalia website or app can save a couple of minutes at the station, but same-day purchase is normally easy outside of peak commuter times around 08:00–09:00 and 17:00–18:00.
Step-by-step from T1 to central Turin:
- 1. From arrivals in T1, follow signs for "Treni / Railway Station" for about 5 minutes.
- 2. Buy a Trenitalia ticket to "Torino Porta Susa" or "Torino Dora" at the airport machines, around €3–€4 one-way.
- 3. Check the monitors for the next train toward Turin and confirm it lists "Torino Aeroporto" as the departure station.
- 4. Validate any paper ticket in the small stamping machines on the platform before boarding.
- 5. Ride 30–35 minutes to Porta Susa, then switch to the metro or bus lines 55/56 for other parts of the city if needed.
One practical tip: build a 20-minute buffer into your schedule in case you just miss a train and need to wait for the next half-hourly departure.
