Santhià ──(regional train, check timetable)──> Turin ──(airport bus or taxi)──> TRN

The Maratona del Riso is held in Santhià, which sits on the rail line between Turin and Milan. Turin is the natural place for a last night before a flight. Check the timetable, since services around a public holiday or a Sunday may differ from the weekday pattern.

May in Turin is mild and can be wet. The arcades give shelter and level ground.

Night one: Turin

The centre is laid out on a grid, and a loop around Piazza Castello and Piazza San Carlo takes under an hour at an easy pace. Check opening days if you want a museum, and book a timed ticket. Avoid the hill walks.

Where to stay

Choose a hotel near Porta Nuova station or in the flat centre. Book a refundable room and ask about lift access.

Food

Ask the hotel for current recommendations and book a table.

Getting Home

Turin Caselle Airport (TRN) is reached from the centre by an airport bus or a taxi. Check the operator's timetable and allow a margin for an early flight.
