Owing to its position, Torino – easily reached by car, train or plane – is the natural connection point between the surrounding Alpine valleys and is where the major national and international communication routes converge.
Rail
Torino is very well linked both to the Italian railway system and to neighbouring countries.
High-speed trains are used nationally and internationally, with Frecciarossa and Italo for Italy and TGV for France – allowing travel to Lyon in 2 hours and 30 minutes, or Paris in about 5 hours.
The new high-speed lines also connect Torino with Milan in 44 minutes and Rome in just over 4 hours.
