The city of Turin stands in the north west of Italy. It stands on the River Po in the foothills of the Alps. Turin is 90 miles west of Milan. If you’re hiring a car from Turin Airport, also known locally as Turin Caselle Airport, you’ll find that it stands 10 miles north-west of the city itself. The road connections are good: the airport access road leads straight to the A55 motorway, looping around the outskirts of the city while closer to the centre is another, more complete ring road, which helps in busier driving times.
Car rental from Turin Airport means you’ll be able to get into the city in a few minutes and tour the major sights or explore the outskirts using the convenient road network. Turin is renowned as the centre much of the Italian car-making industry but it’s also an important historic and cultural centre. If you head into the city there’s plenty to see and do. The historic highlights include the famous Shroud of Turin. This is believed to be the burial shroud of Jesus Christ and is kept in the Royal Chapel of the Cathedral. Look out too for the Mole Antonelliana, a 19th-century landmark that forms the tallest museum in the world.
