Torino+Piemonte Card – Prices, Inclusions, Value

Turin is very much a museum city, and the largest Egyptian collection outside Cairo already charges €18 admission on its own. Visitors planning to see several of the big houses in a few days often come out ahead with the official city pass – though not always. This guide sets out the current prices, spells out clearly what is and isn't included, and works through the numbers to show when the card actually pays off.

What the card covers

The Torino+Piemonte Card is the official tourist pass for the city and region. At the major sights it delivers not just a discount but free admission – including the Museo Egizio, the Museo Nazionale del Cinema inside the Mole Antonelliana, the Musei Reali with the Palazzo Reale, the MAUTO car museum, the Reggia di Venaria, GAM, Palazzo Madama, the Juventus Museum, the Museo del Risorgimento and the Pinacoteca Agnelli. Many other venues offer a discounted ticket with the card rather than free entry – so the list of full free admissions is the reliable part, and for everything else it pays to check the fine print on site.

Worth knowing for actual use – each venue allows one free entry per card. The shortest card is also capped at three free admissions in total, while the longer cards have no such limit.

Validity periods and 2026 prices

Prices have applied since 3 March 2025 and are tiered by hours, not calendar days. The clock starts on the first QR code scan. For adults:

• 24 hours – €29.90 (maximum three free admissions)
• 48 hours – €39.90
• 72 hours – €45.90
• 120 hours (5 days) – €52.90

For families there's a junior card for under-18s, but only as a 72-hour version at €18.90. A child under 12 already gets in free alongside an adult cardholder. Cards bought online cost no more than at the counter and are available instantly as a QR code on your phone; after purchase you have 12 months to activate the card for the first time. The card is issued to a named individual and is not transferable.

Public transport isn't included

This is the most common misunderstanding – the card does not cover bus and tram journeys. A transport ticket is only available together with the card at the tourist office – €7 for 48 hours, €9 for 72 hours, and €3 for children aged 3 to 10. Within the compact centre the main sights are within easy walking distance of each other anyway; a transport ticket mainly pays off if you're planning a trip to Venaria or visiting several sights that are further apart. More on getting around and tickets is in the Getting There guide.

When the card pays for itself

A few real single-ticket prices make the sums easy to follow – as of 2026:

• Museo Egizio – €18
• Reggia di Venaria (palace and gardens) – €18
• Museo Nazionale del Cinema in the Mole – €18 (€23 with the panoramic lift)
• Musei Reali / Palazzo Reale – €15
• MAUTO – €12
• Palazzo Madama and GAM – €10 each

The maths are straightforward – the Museo Egizio plus the Mole on a single day already covers the €29.90 cost of the 24-hour card. Anyone combining the Egizio, Musei Reali, the Mole, MAUTO and a Venaria trip over two to three days saves noticeably with the 48- or 72-hour card. On the other hand, if you only plan to visit one or two museums, single tickets work out cheaper. Also worth noting for the Mole's panoramic lift – free entry only covers the museum; the lift itself is charged separately.

Opening hours and the Monday trap

Turin's museums close on different days – a bit of planning avoids showing up to locked doors:

• Museo Egizio – open daily, but Mondays only half-day from 9:00 to 14:00; otherwise until 18:30, Saturdays until 20:00.
• Musei Reali / Palazzo Reale – Tuesday to Sunday 9:00 to 19:00, closed Mondays.
• Museo del Cinema (the Mole) – closed Tuesdays, otherwise 9:00 to 19:00.
• Palazzo Madama – closed Tuesdays, otherwise 10:00 to 18:00.
• GAM – Tuesday to Sunday 11:00 to 19:00, closed Mondays.
• MAUTO – open daily, shortened hours on Mondays from 10:00 to 14:00.
• Reggia di Venaria – Tuesday to Friday 9:30 to 17:00, weekends and public holidays until 18:30, closed Mondays (with holiday exceptions, such as during cherry blossom season from 21 March to 6 April 2026). Last admission one hour before closing.

In practice that means – on a Monday, the Egizio and MAUTO are the safe bets, while the Mole and Palazzo Madama are better scheduled for another day.

Booking ahead, even with the card

Free admission doesn't mean walking straight in. Several venues require or recommend a booked time slot even with the card. Booking is mandatory at the Museo Egizio (at weekends and on public holidays, strongly recommended on weekdays), the Museo del Cinema, Palazzo Carignano, Villa della Regina (Sundays and public holidays), and at the Castello della Mandria and Castello di Moncalieri. Booking is recommended at the Reggia di Venaria, GAM, MAO and Palazzo Madama. A booking fee may apply; the official site doesn't specify the exact amount or how far in advance you need to book. To be on the safe side, book the venues that require reservations right after buying the card.

Getting to Venaria

The Reggia sits just outside the city and, with the card, is the single most valuable stop among the day-trip options. Two routes work well:

• By train – the SFM4, SFM6 and SFM7 suburban rail lines stop at "Reggia di Venaria" station, about a 500-metre walk away along Via Andrea Mensa. A single fare within the city costs €1.50 and is valid for 60 minutes.
• By Venaria Express – the GTT bus runs Tuesday to Sunday and on public holidays from Porta Susa in around 30 minutes. On weekdays it costs €1.70; at weekends and on public holidays a hop-on-hop-off day ticket costs €7, reduced to €4 for cardholders. Children under 6 travel free.

Other worthwhile destinations around the city – Superga, Stupinigi, the Langhe – are covered in the Day Trips from Turin guide; the Museums overview covers the venues themselves.

Where to buy the card

The easiest option is to buy it online via the official Turismo Torino website – the card arrives instantly as a QR code on your phone. In person, it's sold at tourist offices, including on Piazza Castello (at the corner of Via Garibaldi), at Piazza Palazzo di Città 9a, and at the office on Piazza Carlo Felice in front of Porta Nuova station. It's also available at the information point at Turin Airport (Caselle) – handy for anyone heading straight into town after landing.
