The short answer
The Torino + Piemonte Card is the official tourist card for Turin and Piedmont. It's valid at the city's major museums and at almost all the royal residences. The Royal Pass is tailored to the 16 residences of the House of Savoy and is valid for 96 hours.
- Want to visit the Egyptian Museum, the National Cinema Museum or the car museum? Take the Torino Card. With the Royal Pass the first two are only reduced, and the car museum isn't included at all.
- Want to spend three or four days seeing palaces and residences? Take the Royal Pass. Based on Turismo Torino's official list prices, it costs less than the Torino Card for 48, 72 or 120 hours.
- Want both? Then the Torino Card is enough. It also covers almost all the Royal Pass residences.
- Only visiting one or two museums? Then single tickets are usually cheaper than either pass.
You don't need two passes: the residences are free with both, so a second pass gains you nothing there.
Already decided on the Royal Pass?
The Royal Pass is valid for 96 hours from the first scan, and one child under 12 is included in the pass. At Tiqets it currently costs €30.00. You'll find all the residences, booking requirements and a worked example of its own on our Royal Pass page.

We found no official information on the Torino Card for Valcasotto. Some state-run sites such as the Musei Reali, Villa della Regina or Racconigi are free for under-18s anyway.

Prices: Torino Card and Royal Pass live
The prices come directly from Tiqets and are updated continuously. They are for adults, including taxes and fees.
| Pass | Validity | Price at Tiqets |

| Torino Card 24 h | 24 hours, max. 3 free visits | €29.90 |
| Torino Card 48 h | 48 hours | €39.90 |
| Torino Card 72 h | 72 hours | €45.90 |

With both passes, one child under 12 accompanying the pass holder gets in free.
Example 1: a museum weekend
Two days, the big museums in the centre and the car museum. Calculated with regular adult admission prices. The matching pass is the 48-hour Torino Card.
Saturday: museum quarter
- Egyptian Museum€18.00
- Musei Reali€15.00
- Palazzo Madama€10.00
Total€43.00
Sunday: the Mole and Lingotto
- National Cinema Museum in the Mole Antonelliana€18.00
- MAUTO car museum€18.00
Total€36.00
Together, these admissions cost €79.00 at regular prices. The 48-hour Torino Card currently costs €39.90 at Tiqets – you save €39.10.
With the Royal Pass, only the Musei Reali and Palazzo Madama would be free. You'd pay the reduced price for the National Cinema Museum and the Egyptian Museum, and the full price for MAUTO. For this weekend, the Torino Card is clearly the better choice.
Important: booking is mandatory at the Egyptian Museum at weekends and strongly recommended for the National Cinema Museum. For more ideas for two days, see our itinerary Turin in 2 days.

- 24, 48, 72 or 120 hours
- One child under 12 free per adult

Example 2: four days of Savoy residences
For fans of royal palaces: four days from Thursday to Sunday, so that every site is open. Calculated with regular adult admission prices.
Thursday: Piazza Castello
- Musei Reali€15.00
- Palazzo Madama€10.00
Total€25.00
Friday: La Venaria Reale
- Reggia, gardens and Castello della Mandria€22.00

- Superga: dome€4.00
Total€20.00
Sunday: hunting lodge and Rivoli
- Palazzina di Caccia di Stupinigi€12.00
- Castello di Rivoli€15.00
Total€27.00
Together, these admissions cost €94.00 at regular prices. The Royal Pass currently costs €30.00 at Tiqets – you save €64.00.
With the Torino Card, all these admissions would be free as well. For four days, though, you'd need the 120-hour card (currently €52.90). Without the Egyptian Museum and the National Cinema Museum in your plan, the Royal Pass is the better choice here.
Plan around the closing days: Musei Reali on Wednesdays, Palazzo Madama on Tuesdays, Venaria, Villa della Regina and Stupinigi on Mondays, Castello di Rivoli on Mondays and Tuesdays. You must book for the Castello della Mandria, and for Villa della Regina on Sundays. The Royal Tombs and Royal Apartment at Superga can only be visited on a guided tour in Italian at fixed times.

Example 3: a family with two children
Two adults, a 9-year-old child and a 14-year-old teenager, three days in Turin: the Egyptian Museum, the Musei Reali, La Venaria Reale, the National Cinema Museum and the car museum. This is what regular admission prices look like.
| Attraction | 2 adults | Teenager, 14 | Child, 9 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Egyptian Museum | €36.00 | €1.00 | €1.00 |
| Musei Reali | €30.00 | free | free |
| La Venaria Reale with Castello della Mandria | €44.00 | €10.00 | €10.00 |
| National Cinema Museum | €36.00 | €16.00 | €16.00 |
| MAUTO car museum | €36.00 | €8.00 | €8.00 |
| Regular total | €182.00 | €35.00 | €35.00 |
| With the Torino Card | 2 × 72-hour card | Junior card or single tickets | free with one adult card |
How to work it out: each adult pays €91.00 at regular prices, the 72-hour Torino Card costs €45.90 – that's a saving of €45.10 per adult. The 9-year-old goes free with one of the two adult cards. For the teenager, compare the Junior card (€18.90) with single tickets (€35.00). Without a pass there are family tickets: €36.00 at the Egyptian Museum (2 adults + 2 under 18), €52.00 at Venaria (2 adults + up to 4 children aged 6 to 16).
What does this mean for families?
For families, the same rule of thumb applies as for everyone: if the Egyptian Museum, the National Cinema Museum or MAUTO are on your plan, the Torino Card is the right pass. With the Royal Pass, only the Musei Reali and Venaria would be free in this example.
- Children under 12: with both passes, one child per pass goes free. So two adult passes cover two children under 12.
- Teenagers aged 12 to 17: only the Torino Card has a separate pass for them, the 72-hour Junior card. Check whether it's worth it: sites such as the Musei Reali, Villa della Regina or Palazzo Madama are free for under-18s anyway, and at the Egyptian Museum 6- to 14-year-olds pay only €1.00.
- Children under 6: they get in free at many sites and travel free on GTT's tourist offers.
Example 4: one day without residences
Just one day in Turin, but three big museums. The 24-hour Torino Card is enough for that – it allows exactly three free visits.
Morning
- Egyptian Museum€18.00
Total€18.00
Afternoon
- MAUTO car museum€18.00
- National Cinema Museum in the Mole Antonelliana€18.00
Total€36.00
Together, these admissions cost €54.00 at regular prices. The 24-hour Torino Card currently costs €29.90 at Tiqets – you save €24.10. The Royal Pass isn't worth it on a day like this: MAUTO isn't included, and the other two museums are only reduced.
If you only manage two museums, do the maths: two admissions cost €36.00 at regular prices. Then single tickets are often cheaper than the 24-hour card. For a suggested schedule, see our itinerary Turin in one day. Note: the National Cinema Museum is closed on Tuesdays.
Our recommendation by type of traveller
This is how to find the right pass in a few seconds.
| You're … | Recommendation | Why |
|---|---|---|
| in Turin for the weekend and want to see the big museums | Torino Card 48 h | The Egyptian Museum, National Cinema Museum and MAUTO are only free with this card. |
| here for three to four days and love palaces and residences | Royal Pass | 96 hours for all residences; cheaper at list price than the multi-day Torino Card. |
| here for four to five days and want museums and residences | Torino Card 120 h | Covers the museums and almost all residences. |
| travelling with children under 12 | Torino Card (Royal Pass for a palaces-only programme) | With both passes, one child under 12 per pass goes free. |
| travelling with teenagers aged 12 to 17 | Torino Card + Junior card – do the maths first | Many sites are free for under-18s anyway. |
| here for just one day and can fit in three museums | Torino Card 24 h | Exactly three free visits. |
| only after one or two museums in the city | no pass, single tickets | The total admission cost is often below the pass price. |
| a football or car fan | Torino Card | The Juventus Museum and MAUTO are free; the Royal Pass includes neither. |
Booking requirements: where you need to book ahead
At some sites, a pass doesn't replace a booking. According to Turismo Torino, the following applies equally to both passes:
- Booking mandatory: Castello della Mandria, Castello di Moncalieri, Palazzo Carignano (Appartamenti dei Principi)
- Mandatory on Sundays and public holidays: Villa della Regina
- Egyptian Museum: mandatory at weekends and on public holidays, strongly recommended on weekdays
- National Cinema Museum and panoramic lift: booking strongly recommended
- Other residences: Turismo Torino also lists a booking requirement for the Castelli di Racconigi and Agliè; Palazzo Chiablese and Castello del Valentino can only be visited by appointment.
Online bookings may incur a booking fee. You'll find the links on Turismo Torino's booking pages for the Torino Card and for the Royal Pass.
Two practical tips: at the Egyptian Museum, choose the "CARD Entrance" ticket type online and show your Torino Card at the entrance. Free Musei Reali tickets for Torino Card holders are only available at the ticket office, not online. The Torino Card doesn't give you skip-the-line access at the ticket office.
Public transport: not included in either pass
GTT buses, trams and the metro are included in neither the Torino Card nor the Royal Pass. Both passes do, however, entitle you to a reduced multi-day ticket, available only at Turin's tourist information office.
- With the Torino Card: 48 hours €7.00, 72 hours €9.00, children aged 3 to 10 €3.00
- With the Royal Pass: reduced multi-day ticket; Turismo Torino doesn't give the prices for the Royal Pass
For trips to Venaria, the Venaria Express runs at weekends, reduced with the Torino Card. The Sassi–Superga rack railway is reduced with both passes. For the palaces further out in Piedmont – Racconigi, Agliè, Govone, Pollenzo, Valcasotto – you usually need a car or the regional train. Everything about tickets and lines is on our page about public transport in Turin.
Buying, activation and cancellation
After booking online, you receive both passes as a QR code on your smartphone. When booking, you choose the date from which you want to use the pass. The validity period only starts with the first scan at an attraction.

The pass for the royal residences: 16 residences of the House of Savoy and the Basilica di Superga, 96 hours.
from €30.00
Buy the Royal PassTorino Card or Royal Pass: frequently asked questions
The Torino + Piemonte Card is valid at the museums and residences of Turin and Piedmont, including the Egyptian Museum, the National Cinema Museum and the car museum. The Royal Pass is valid at the 16 residences of the House of Savoy and the Basilica di Superga; with it, the Egyptian Museum and the National Cinema Museum are only reduced.
Based on official list prices, the Royal Pass costs less than the Torino Card for 48, 72 or 120 hours. At Tiqets the Royal Pass currently costs €30.00, the 72-hour Torino Card €45.90. But cheaper doesn't mean better: if you want to visit the Egyptian Museum or the National Cinema Museum, you'll pay extra there with the Royal Pass.
Only as a discount. Only the Torino + Piemonte Card gives free admission to the Egyptian Museum. At weekends and on public holidays you must book there with either pass.
Almost all of them. The Musei Reali, Palazzo Madama, Palazzo Carignano, Villa della Regina, La Venaria Reale, Castello della Mandria, Rivoli, Moncalieri, Stupinigi, Racconigi, Agliè, Govone and the Basilica di Superga are free with both passes. Palazzo Chiablese, Castello del Valentino and the Tenuta di Pollenzo charge no admission anyway. Only for the Castello di Valcasotto did we find no official information on the Torino Card.
The Torino Card comes in 24, 48, 72 or 120 hours, the Junior card in 72 hours. The Royal Pass is valid for 96 hours. With both, the validity period starts with the first scan at an attraction.
With both passes, one child under 12 accompanying the pass holder gets in free. For teenagers up to 17, only the Torino Card has a separate Junior card (currently €18.90 at Tiqets). Many museums such as the Musei Reali or Palazzo Madama are free for under-18s anyway.
Only if you manage three expensive museums that day. The 24-hour card allows a maximum of three free museum visits. Three big museums such as the Egyptian Museum, the National Cinema Museum and MAUTO cost €54.00 in total at regular prices.
No. But both passes entitle you to a reduced multi-day ticket for buses, trams and the metro, available only at Turin's tourist information office. With the Torino Card it costs €7.00 for 48 hours and €9.00 for 72 hours.
At some sites, yes: always at the Castello della Mandria, Castello di Moncalieri and Palazzo Carignano, at Villa della Regina on Sundays and public holidays, and at the Egyptian Museum at weekends and on public holidays. This applies to both passes.
At Tiqets, yes: both until 23:59 on the day before your visit. According to Turismo Torino, Royal Passes bought directly from the issuer are non-refundable.
In practice it's almost never worth it. The residences are free with both passes, and with the Torino Card you can only visit each attraction once anyway. Choose one of the two passes depending on your programme.
For Venaria alone, both are the same: the Reggia, the gardens and the Castello della Mandria are free with both passes. The difference comes from the other destinations on your trip. More about the palace on our page about La Venaria Reale.
