Torino / Turin to Parma by train

Final Destination: Roma or Napoli or Salerrno

These are the Frecce trains from Torino to Milano Centrale station.
Up to eight Frecce trains per day from Torino call at Milano Porta Garibaldi station instead of at Milano Centrale.
Those trains to Porta Garibaldi station can plug two gaps between the departures of these trains to Milano Centrale.

If your final destination can be easily accessed by Line M2 or Line M5 of the Milano Metro you can connect into these lines at Porta Garibaldi station.
Connections are also available into trains to Malpensa Airport at Milano Porta Garibaldi.
Though Metro Line M2 and the Malpensa Airport trains are also available at Milano Centrale and connection to Metro Line M3 is also available at Centrale station.

Also the final Frecce train of the day departs Torino Porta Nuova at 18:50 and from Torino Porta Susa at 19:00.

---------------------------------------------------------

There are also Italo trains between Torino and Milano Centrale which take the same high speed route, so they match the journey times of Trenitalia's Frecce trains.

They can also be cheaper - the departure times and prices of the two services can be compared on the Omio and Trainline booking websites, see the 'Ticket Information' below.

Departing from Torino/Turin:

These trains to Milano on this high speed route commence their journeys at Torino Porta Nuova station.

They depart from there around 10 mins before they depart from Torino Porta Susa.

If you will be commencing your journey on the Torino Metro, it can make sense to head to Porta Susa in order to take these trains.
As all seats are reserved, including yours, you won't have to worry about no spare seats being available if you board at Torino Porta Susa.

The city centre Metro stations are Re:Umberto and Vinzaglio.

Though if you will be travelling with luggage, it can be a better idea to board these trains at Porta Nuova, you'll increase your chances of being able to find an optimum space in which to store your bags.

Though whether you travel from Porta Susa or Porta Nuova stations makes no difference to the ticket price.

Taking the Regionale Veloce trains:

If you will be booking tickets last minute at the station, or will be travelling with a rail pass, you can save money if you take the (much) slower Regionale Veloce (RV) trains from Torino to Milano.

As our guide to travelling by train in Italy explains, travellers often have a choice of train services when making journeys between major Italian cities.

This is the case on this route between Milano and Parma, when you can choose to travel on:

(1) These Frecciabiancaand Frecciargento services trains - the fastest option

Final Destination:  Lecce (or Taranto or Bari)

All trains also call at: Piacenza**,** Modena

(2) Slightly slower Intercity trains

(3) The slowest option of all - the Regionale Veloce trains

Departure and arrival times and the comparative comfort of the trains will play a part in which type of train you choose to travel by, but the ticket prices and options will also be a factor - see the 'Ticketing Information; below.

The high speed line from Milano to the south by-passes Parma, so high speed trains aren't an option on this route.
