Taxis

Although Turin is small enough to be able to walk easily there are times in every tourist's life when a taxi is essential. Although Italian taxis are relatively expensive, the taxi drivers we encountered were always friendly, and never tried to rip us off - Rome could learn a thing or two.

In the centre of town you can find a taxi rank at the top of Piazza Vittorio Veneto and at Porta Nuova railway station there are two taxi ranks. One is just outside the station, the other is across the road. If you arrive from the airport by bus then you'll be just round the corner from the latter, but if it's late then you may not find any taxis here and should go to the one outside the station.

It can be a little uncomfortable here at night - the usual assortment of winos, junkies and weirdos you find at all major railway stations.

A taxi ride to Porta Nuova from the city centre is around €6, to the car museum €8 and there is a baggage fee of €0.50.
