Tourist Information
| Local Transportation From/To Torino
There is a shuttle connecting the Caselle airport with Torino (see fares and timetable). On the way from the airport to Torino, the shuttle stops at the two main railway stations (Porta Susa and Porta Nuova, in this order). The conference location is closer to Porta Nuova, although your hotel may in fact be closer to Porta Susa (see the map above).
There is a shuttle connecting the Malpensa airport with Torino (see fares and timetable). On the way from the airport to Torino, the shuttle makes three stops, the most convenient being the second one (Porta Susa). From there, you can reach your hotel/the conference location by tram/bus/metro (see below). It is recommended that you buy the ticket in advance, as the number of seats is limited. The number of rides per day is limited too, so if you plan to take the shuttle from Torino to Malpensa choose a ride that arrives well in advance, as there can be heavy traffic on the highway and the shuttle may be late.
