Venture from the first capital of a unified Italy to the country’s modern capital. Learn about taking the train from Turin to Rome.
Travel through Italian history with a trip from Turin, home of the first Italian capital after unification in the late 19th century, to Rome, the Italian capital today. Back when the capital was changing, the trip from Turin to Rome was much more time-consuming. Today, it can be considered a day trip by high-speed train.
The train trip from Turin to Rome is about 450 miles (724 km), and driving this distance would take more than 7 hours. Taking the train has the time advantage, and also the benefit of not requiring you to navigate while driving between these two cities. This gives you the chance to relax and enjoy the scenery.
Frequent Trains from Turin to Rome
The high-speed Alta Velocità (AV) trains from Trenitalia connect Turin’s Porta Nuova station directly with Rome’s Termini station about 1-2 times per hour during most weekdays. The duration of this trip is 4 to 4.5 hours, but it can go up to 5 to 7 hours long if your train is not direct and requires a transfer in either Bologna or Milan. There are also slower trains between the two cities which take even longer, so be careful when you’re booking your tickets.
In total, there are 30 trains departing Turin for Rome each day, with the first leaving Turin at 5:50 a.m. and the last at 7:10 p.m. Tickets for this route range from $57-92.
Italo trains also serve the Turin-to-Rome route. They depart from both Turin Porta Nuova and Porta Susa stations, and arrive in both Roma Tiburtina and Roma Termini stations. There are six trains per day on this route, and the journey takes 4 hours and 40 minutes.
Note that weekends and holidays typically mean less frequent service and sometimes longer travel times.
Direct Trains from Turin to Rome
