  • Favorite Thing: Turismobus is a touristic bus that joins with a circular distance all the touristic points of interest of the city, revealing the various spirits of the city, from the art to the shopping.

    The main characteristic is that you can get on and off where and when you want during the validity of the ticket at any of the route's stops(14 stops) and then continue with the next one, one hour later.
    On board an hostess will show you main monuments and attractions.

    All the year, it is in service during the weekend from 10 to 7 p.m. (every day during Christmas and Easter period).

    It leave from Piazza Solferino, in front of Palazzo Alfieri.
    The ticket cost 5€, but it is free for the Torino Card owners.

     Thanks for bringing back nice memories. I spent a few weeks in Torino about ten years ago and found it very interesting, especially Egyptian Museum
