How to get to the Museo Egizio

How far is the Museo Egizio from Turin city centre?

Nothing: the Museum is in the centre of Turin. The distances it publishes are those from the stations, on foot.

We do not give walking distances from the Mole or other monuments, because the Museum does not indicate them. Several guided tours start from Piazza Carignano, according to their listings, and one from Teatro Carignano, at Piazza Carignano 6.

How do you get there on foot from Porta Nuova station?

In 10-15 minutes, via Roma or via Lagrange, which then becomes via Accademia delle Scienze.

From Porta Susa on foot it takes about 20-25 minutes. If you arrive by train, there is the Trenitalia discount: until 31 December 2026, €3 off the individual ticket for some travellers, showing the train ticket at the ticket desk. The conditions are in the guide to tickets.

Which buses and trams go to the Museo Egizio?

From Porta Nuova: buses 58 and 58B and tram 4; from Porta Susa: buses 51, 56, 57, 72 and 72B, tram 13 and Star 1 and Star 2 lines.

Here are all the nearby stops with the lines indicated by the Museum. By metro, get off at Porta Nuova station on line 1 and continue on foot, or take buses 58 and 58B or tram 4.

Can you arrive by car? Where to park?

Yes, but in the centre the ZTL is active from Monday to Friday from 7:30 to 10:30. The nearest car park is Roma - San Carlo - Castello, open 24 hours a day.

The car entrances are in Piazza Castello at the corner with via Viotti, in Piazza Carlo Felice and in via Lagrange. In the centre there are no camper parking spaces: for parking areas the Museum refers to a dedicated page.

We do not report car park rates: for rates and information the Museum refers to an external page.

How to dress for the Museo Egizio?

There is no dress code. Inside it is about 24 degrees all year round, and the cloakroom is suspended.

The temperature remains constant for the conservation of the objects, with air conditioning and heating. With the cloakroom closed due to works you cannot leave jackets, bags, umbrellas and luggage: in winter your coat stays with you for the whole visit. Dress in layers.

What can you bring inside the Museum?

Small backpacks and bags with personal items. Suitcases, trolleys, scooters, skates, large backpacks and bulky luggage are not allowed.

• The bag check is before the ticket desk. Scissors, blades, nail files and penknives are handed over to security and collected at the end of the visit.
• The lockers are few, only for school-type backpacks, not bookable, until exhausted.
• Photos and videos are allowed, without flash and without tripods or other professional equipment.
• Animals: only guide dogs and therapy dogs are allowed, with certification.
• Perfumes: in some rooms there is an ambient fragrance. If you are sensitive to smells, ask the Museum.

The tours on GetYourGuide can be stricter: several listings do not allow backpacks, luggage and large bags.
