About Turin by Frecciarossa: the back story

Turin is about an hour west of Milan by Frecciarossa or Italo. Its arcaded streets lead to the Museo Egizio, one of the world’s great Egyptian collections, and the Mole Antonelliana, home of the Museo Nazionale del Cinema.

Getting there

By Frecciarossa or Italo from Milano Centrale to Torino Porta Susa or Porta Nuova; book on trenitalia.com or italotreno.com.

The museums

The Museo Egizio and the Museo Nazionale del Cinema in the Mole Antonelliana; book both online. Visitor information on turismotorino.org.

Frecciarossa and Italo trains run from Milano Centrale to Torino Porta Nuova and Porta Susa.

Our advice: take the lift up the Mole for the view of the Alps.
