What is the best way to travel from Turin Airport to Porta Nuova Train Station?

Question

Can this be done by direct train?

Answer 1

The best way to get to Porta Nuova is by bus. It costs 5.50 euro and takes 40 minutes. Buses run every half hour or 45 minutes depending on the time of day. The schedules are here: http://www.aeroportoditorino.it/EN/aerop...

There isn't a direct train. You can take the train from the airport to the Torino Dora Station (http://www.aeroportoditorino.it/EN/aerop... Trains leave every half hour and take 19 minutes. From Torino Dora, you can transfer to a train to Torino Porta Nuova (schedules and prices: http://www.trenitalia.com/en/index.html)... There are a few trains in the morning that go directly between the two (13 to 16 minutes), but most options will require an additional train change (20 to 30 minutes total). In theory, you could save a few minutes if you're arrival time works out, but the bus is much easier and more likely to be faster.
