While Turin does have an airport, flights between Turin and Dublin are quite scarce. An alternate way to travel to the city is by flying with Ryanair to Milan, Bergamo, and taking either train/bus from Milan Centrale to Turin.

Tickets must be verified on the bus by using a machine, and after verification, can be used on any bus/tram for the next 90 minutes.
