Organize your stay Turin
Money Turin
Since 2002, as in France and Belgium, the currency of the Italian Republic has been the euro (€).
Budget & Tips Turin
The standard of living in Turin and Piedmont is the same as in France. Prices will therefore be identical, with a few minor exceptions. Coffee, for example, will be much cheaper (and better) than back home... You can get away with €70 a day, including accommodation, for the smallest budgets, but for a comfortable stay you'll be looking at around €180 a day.
Passport and visas Turin
As a citizen of a member state of the European Union, all you need to enter Italy is your identity card.
Driver's license Turin
Your national driving license is all you need to rent a car during your stay in Piedmont.
Mandatory vaccination Turin
Health standards are the same as in France: your latest vaccinations must be up to date, but you won't be asked for any documents, except in the event of a Covid-type pandemic.
Security Turin
No particular danger in Turin! After all, as in all big cities, there's always a risk of running into a pickpocket in the tourist areas...
Time difference Turin
Italy is in the same time zone as France, Belgium or Switzerland, with the same winter and summer time changes.
Spoken languages Turin
Of course, Italian is spoken in Turin. Due to the proximity of our borders and the history of Piedmont, French, although unfortunately not as widely spoken as it used to be, is often understood and generally spoken in tourist areas. But, as is now the case everywhere, English takes precedence.
Communication Turin
Excellent telephone coverage. Wifi points in many bars and restaurants, train stations and airports.
Electricity and measurements Turin
Italian voltage is the same as in France, i.e. 220 volts. However, sockets are often different, with three holes (if you need an adapter, your hotel will lend you one on request).
