Torino+Piemonte Card and the Turin Royal Pass

Torino+Piemonte Card prices: 24, 48, 72 or 120 hours

The Torino+Piemonte Card costs €29.90 for 24 hours, €39.90 for 48, €45.90 for 72 and €52.90 for 120. Each card covers one adult and one child under 12, who gets the same entries as you. Cancelling costs nothing up to the date on your booking.

The hours run straight through from the first museum, not from the day you buy: a 48-hour card first scanned at 15:00 on a Friday lasts until 15:00 on Sunday.

The 24-hour card is the one with a limit: it includes up to three museums. From 48 hours there’s no cap, one visit per museum.

There’s no cheaper card for students or over-65s, so every adult pays the same. Teenagers from 12 to 17 have a Junior card of their own, valid for 72 hours and cheaper than an adult’s. Each card is personal, so two adults can’t share one on different days.

Is the Torino+Piemonte Card worth it? From the third museum on

Turin’s tourist board, which issues the card, says it starts saving you money from the third museum. On the 24-hour card that’s a full day with three of the big ones, and the obvious three are the Egyptian Museum, the Cinema Museum in the Mole and the Royal Palace.

We sell no plain entry to any of the three, and even the cheapest ticket we do sell there, the Egyptian Museum’s tour in Italian at €49, costs more than the whole 24-hour card.

A second day is where the sums get clear, because the 48-hour card drops the three-museum limit. Palazzo Madama, the city’s museum of ancient art on Piazza Castello, costs €14.50 on its own; the royal tombs, the royal apartment and the dome at Superga come to €16; and Villa della Regina, the Savoy villa on the hill east of the Po, is €10. Those three alone come to a little more than the whole 48-hour card, and the first day’s big three come on top.

The card reaches out of the city too. The Reggia di Venaria, the Savoy hunting palace, and the hunting lodge the architect Filippo Juvarra built at Stupinigi are each about 10 km from the centre, and with 72 or 120 hours the list also takes in the castles of Rivoli and Racconigi, the abbey of the Sacra di San Michele, the Fenestrelle fortress and the wine museum in Barolo.

Children change the sums. Under-18s go into the state and city museums free anyway, the Royal Palace and Palazzo Madama among them, while the Egyptian Museum, the Cinema Museum, Venaria and MAUTO charge them. Each card already covers a child under 12, and for teenagers the Junior card only makes a difference at those four.

From Friday to Sunday everything above is open, bar the Mole’s December closure, so that’s the stretch to put a 48- or 72-hour card on. The hours keep running when a museum is shut, for a strike or a holiday as well, so plan the first scan around these days.

Torino+Piemonte Card at the museum door: booking, the ticket desk and the Mole lift

Once the days are set, each museum takes the card in one of three ways, and in the simplest you just show it. At the Royal Palace, Palazzo Madama, Stupinigi, Superga and MAUTO you go to the ticket office with the card and they give you your ticket, with nothing to book ahead. At Superga the tombs and the royal apartment are seen on a 45-minute guided visit in Italian, and the apartment has only two a day, so ask for the times as soon as you arrive.

The Royal Palace makes it easier still: the ticket that comes with the card can’t be booked online at all, so you simply turn up. Villa della Regina works the same way on ordinary days; on the first Sunday of the month everyone books first, and on holidays booking is recommended.

The second way is a booking. The Egyptian Museum has no ticket office, so you pick a day and time on its ticket site, choosing the CARD Entrance ticket at no extra charge, and show the booking with the card and an ID. It counts as one of the 24-hour card’s three entries.

Venaria and Palazzo Carignano want a reservation too. At Venaria the card gives you the All in a Palace ticket, which covers the palace, the gardens and this winter’s exhibition, with Matisse, Braque, Picasso and Bacon until 14 February 2027; from 7 November the palace opens Tuesday to Sunday, 9:30 to 17:00. Palazzo Carignano, the palace where Italy’s first king was born, opens only from Friday to Monday, for guided visits that set off at fixed times.

The third way is a reduced price on part of the visit. In the Mole Antonelliana, Turin’s 167-metre tower, the Cinema Museum is included, and the museum strongly recommends booking, above all on holidays. The panoramic lift to the terrace 85 metres up is €7 with the card instead of €9.

The Juventus Stadium splits the same way: the J-Museum, the club’s museum, is included, and the Stadium Tour comes at a reduced price, sold at the museum’s ticket office. At OGR, the old railway repair workshops that now hold exhibitions and concerts, the card gets you the reduced exhibition ticket.

Turin Royal Pass: four days in the Savoy residences and Superga

The city’s other pass is built around one family. The Turin Royal Pass costs €30 for four days, for one adult and one child under 12, and it opens the 16 residences of the House of Savoy, the dukes who became Italy’s kings, in Turin and around Piedmont. It comes from the same tourist board as the Torino+Piemonte Card, and you can cancel it up to 24 hours before.

In Turin that means the Royal Palace and the rest of the Musei Reali, Palazzo Madama, Palazzo Carignano and Villa della Regina; outside it, Venaria and its Castello della Mandria, Stupinigi, Rivoli, Racconigi and more. The exhibitions on in them are included, and so are the royal tombs, the apartment and the dome at Superga.

What it leaves out is the rest of Turin’s museums. At the Egyptian Museum and the Cinema Museum it only gives a reduced ticket, and MAUTO, the Juventus Museum and the Shroud Museum aren’t on it at all.

That makes the Royal Pass the one for a trip of palaces and gardens. At €30 it costs about what the 24-hour Torino+Piemonte Card does, €29.90, but lasts four days instead of one, and every residence on it but two, the Castello del Valentino and the Royal Agency of Pollenzo, is on the Torino+Piemonte Card as well.

At the door you collect your ticket at the desk in the Royal Palace and at Stupinigi, and Venaria gives you All in a Palace and the Mandria.

Torino+Piemonte Card or Royal Pass: which Turin card to buy

With the two side by side, the choice comes down to the Egyptian Museum. If it’s on your list, or the Cinema Museum or MAUTO is, the Torino+Piemonte Card is the one; for days spent in the Savoy palaces, the Royal Pass covers them over four days.

Guided tours of the Egyptian Museum, the Royal Palace, the Mole and Venaria

Neither card includes a guide. If you’d like one, these tours have the entry built in, so on the day you take one you don’t need a card entry there, and on the 24-hour card that entry can go to another museum.

At the Egyptian Museum the two-hour tour costs €49 in Italian and €69 in English. At the Royal Palace, an hour and a half with a guide in English or Italian, with priority entry, costs €49.

The Mole’s tour, two hours in a small group in Italian, costs €98.50 and covers the Cinema Museum; the lift isn’t in its list of what’s included. Out at Venaria, three hours with a guide in Italian and skip-the-line entry cost €79.90.

Turin transport with the card: GTT tickets, the Superga railway and the airport

The cards don’t include public transport, but they get you a cheaper ticket for it. At Turin’s tourist offices, on Piazza Castello and on Piazza Palazzo di Città, either card lets you buy GTT’s Tour ticket for the buses, trams and metro at €7 for 48 hours or €9 for 72, instead of €9.50 and €12.50. With a card bought online from us, the office on Piazza Castello is the one to go to.

Without that ticket, a single ride costs €1.90 with a contactless bank card, and it lasts 100 minutes with changes included.

Two rides out of the centre cost less with the Torino+Piemonte Card. The rack railway from Sassi up to Superga is €4 return on any day, against €6 on weekdays and €9 at weekends without it, and it doesn’t run on Wednesdays. At weekends and on holidays the Venaria Express, the hop-on hop-off bus out to the Reggia, is €4 return with the card.

For the sights themselves, our hop-on hop-off bus costs €19 for 24 hours, on three lines with an audio guide on board in eight languages. From Caselle, Turin’s airport, our Flibco bus costs €5.99 each way and takes about 30 minutes to Porta Nuova.
