Milan to Turin by train
Frecciarossa and Italo run from Milan, mostly Milano Centrale, to Torino Porta Nuova in about an hour; hourly regional trains take just under 2 hours.
Direct high-speed trains take about an hour from Milano Centrale to Torino Porta Nuova, and slower regional trains leave every hour.
High-speed trains: about an hour
For almost every trip, take a Frecciarossa or an Italo. Italo and most Frecciarossa leave from Milano Centrale, but several Frecciarossa running through from Rome, Naples or Venice leave from Milano Porta Garibaldi instead. Both stop at Torino Porta Susa after about 50 minutes and finish at Torino Porta Nuova roughly 10 minutes later. Trenitalia runs a Frecciarossa about once an hour. Italo adds around 13 trains a day, so the gaps are short.
Some departures also call at Milano Rho Fiera, the trade fair station west of the city. Those take 1 hour 5 minutes to 1 hour 15 minutes in all. Choose one if Rho Fiera is where you are boarding.
Regionale Veloce: cheaper, just under 2 hours
Trenitalia's Regionale Veloce trains take the old line through Novara and Vercelli. They leave Milano Centrale once an hour and stop at Rho Fiera, Magenta, Novara, Vercelli, Santhià, Chivasso and Torino Porta Susa before Porta Nuova. The ride takes just under 2 hours. A few extra trains start from Milano Porta Garibaldi.
Seats are unreserved. A regional ticket bought online carries your name, needs no stamping and is valid for 4 hours from the departure of the train you picked. That suits a loose day plan. Still, the high-speed train saves close to an hour each way.
Arriving in Turin: Porta Nuova or Porta Susa
Almost every high-speed train, and almost every regional one, stops at Torino Porta Susa and ends at Torino Porta Nuova. Book Porta Nuova by default, since that is where these trains terminate. Get off at Porta Susa if your hotel is nearer to it; you save about 10 minutes on board. If a booking page shows only "Milano" or "Torino", open the train details and confirm both stations before you pay.
Tickets, fares and Interrail
Trenitalia and Italo are separate companies, and a ticket for one is not valid on the other. Italo fares start from €8.90 one way, and booking ahead gets the lower prices. Frecciarossa tickets come in three fare types:
| Fare | Changes | Refund for your own reasons |
|---|---|---|
| Base | Unlimited until departure | Before departure, minus 20% |
| Economy | Once before departure, paying any difference | Not allowed |
| Super Economy | Not allowed | Not allowed |
An Interrail pass covers the Frecciarossa, but a reservation is compulsory and costs €13 in either class. The Regionale Veloce needs no reservation with a pass. Italo is outside the Interrail scheme, so pass holders should book Trenitalia.
