I think this is a great station with perfect signage on every station level. Multitude of shops and the food court is large with many options. Plenty of seating not reserved for businesses. Bathroom facilities throughout. Ticket offices and kiosks everywhere. From here you can take the metro, tram or bus. read more

Torino Porta Nuova - Train Stations Near Me - Torino, TO

Taking a solo trip to Turin I hopped on a train and arrived at Porta Nuova. There are 20 platforms and the interior is modern. There is a police office right inside the station near platform 18 and the restrooms are on platform 20. It costs €1 to enter the restroom, so have change ready. (After a long ride, those train restrooms can become pretty nasty, so bathroom location is good to know!) There were quite a few ticket counters at the station, but none were open during my visit (on a Wednesday). There are plenty of ticket machines however. Just tap your language choice and follow the prompts. Be sure to validate your ticket before getting on the train as there is a fine if the ticket is not validated. The machines are located at the beginning of the platforms. Insert the ticket in any direction and the machine will stamp it with the date and time. (This is standard procedure for any train in Italy. If you buy a ticket on line, you do not validate it as those are 'non-transferable'.) There are plenty of stores located inside the terminal. Just inside (near platform 6 I think?) is a chocolate shop. Turin is famous for chocolate so you can pick up some gifts on your way home and not have to carry them around with you. Clothes stores, a Hudson News stand, McD's, bars (coffee shops) and restaurants are all located in the station. There are two floors with escalators going up (no down), and staircases. An elevator is available in the center of the station. You can easily get to the metro and buses from this station or walk if the weather is fine. From the platform walk straight to the other side of the building to exit and continue to walk straight to get to the museums. Or, turn right upon exiting to get to the Po river and park. There are several hotels across the side street to your left (as you exit the station). Metro access is down the staircase on the sidewalk and the bus stop is across the street. Porta Nuova is a really great location for getting into and out of Turin. read more

First about the good things: it's possible to walk to the centre from the station first cross ugly dirty streets. The station is more clean than the streets outside. There is shops at the station example clothes shops Mango and Motivi +McDonalds. Upper floor has not much of nothing only 1 floor. There is many doors and there is renovation it has been there 3 years now still. The train information desk has no information about nothing man working there didn't know nothing and he said he don't know what an answer. I was waiting 2 hours until I tried to get information but he didn't know nothing! no information example about which Italian stations has lift and which not and if the train has bicycle vehicle or not. The information was needed but couldn't get it even I waited 2 h. Other thing is that near by is police station and a lot of drug users in the evening and poor homeless people live outside the street near the station. I mean there is poor homeless people who does nothing but also those kind of people who roam around and sometime they fight and attack people when they come out of the bars. I think those people are locals but also some immigrants. I saw one man who tried to take off his trousers he wanted sex near the station he was speaking Italian and I had to run away. Never seen anything like that in my life. Later another time at the station I saw one perhaps immigrant guy who was more polite but still somehow disgusting because he was searching 1night stand or that's what I think because he gone to talk to every woman at the station and women didn't want to speak with him at all. I guess it would be better for him to go to bar for searching girlfriends not to the station because people are only busy there at the station I was very busy. It's not very safety for women to walk near the station in the evening or that's what I've felt. I've visited Naples, Palermo, London, Germany cities and only here I felt not much safety. The station has polices sometime but I guess they won't see anything. read more
