Turin: Hop-On Hop-Off Bus & Superga Tramway 24-48hr

Three bus lines, one ticket: see Turin without planning each stop

You board an open-top bus at Piazza Castello and ride three separate loops through Turin — hopping off at museums, parks, and landmarks whenever you choose. Recorded commentary in eight languages plays as you go; a free app helps you plan stops. If you add the Sassi-Superga tramway option, a shuttle takes you to the station and you ride up to the basilica for city views. Your ticket is valid for 24 or 48 hours, so you control the pace.

The Experience

"You can get off at Piazza Castello, walk around, and catch the next bus whenever you're ready — nobody's rushing you," the driver told me as I climbed aboard the open-top double-decker. That's the whole idea of this hop-on hop-off tour in Turin: three separate routes that loop through the city, and you decide where to pause. The Red Line passes Villa della Regina and Monte dei Cappuccini; the Blue Line swings past the National Automobile Museum and the Pinacoteca Agnelli at Lingotto; the Green Line heads north to Venaria Reale and the Juventus Museum. Pick a 24-hour or 48-hour ticket and move between them as the day unfolds.

The buses themselves are open-top double-deckers with recorded commentary in eight languages — so you're not dependent on a live guide, which means you can sit quietly or skip the narration if you want. Free Wi-Fi is onboard, and there's a mobile app called Sightseeing Experience that helps you navigate stops and plan which museums or parks to visit. Piazza Castello and Piazza San Carlo are natural starting points; both are central and have visitor centers where staff can answer questions about timing and connections. The whole system is designed so you're not locked into a schedule — you move at your own pace.

If you want to add the Sassi-Superga tramway, there's a shuttle bus that picks you up from the city center and takes you to the tramway station. The tramway itself climbs to the Basilica di Superga on a hill overlooking Turin, and the views back across the city and toward the Alps are the kind of thing that justifies the detour. The tramway ticket is optional, so you can skip it if you'd rather stay on the bus routes, but it's a natural half-day addition if you have the time. Shuttle transport to the tramway station is included if you choose that option.

Accessibility matters here: the buses are wheelchair accessible, and the system works for families with strollers or infants (who can sit on an adult's lap). Service animals are welcome. Because you're setting your own pace rather than following a fixed itinerary, you can take breaks when you need them, spend longer at a museum, or just sit on the bus and watch the city roll past. The 48-hour ticket gives you more breathing room if you're not sure how much ground you want to cover in a day.
