Egyptian Museum and Turin city centre: getting there from Gaia Suites
Practical information and selected tips for planning your stay in Turin.
The Egyptian Museum is one of the most popular visits for guests staying in Turin. Gaia Suites offers a peaceful base near the city centre, with straightforward connections to Porta Susa, Porta Nuova, Piazza Castello and Via Accademia delle Scienze.
A straightforward route by metro
Principi d’Acaja metro station is approximately a 5–7 minute walk from the property. Take line M1 towards Bengasi and get off at Porta Nuova. The museum’s official directions describe a walk of around 10–15 minutes from there, along Via Lagrange, which continues into Via Accademia delle Scienze.
Allow for walking, waiting and the metro journey. Total travel time varies with services and your walking pace: check the official GTT website before setting off.
Bus and tram connections to the centre
The Egyptian Museum also lists stops around Via Bertola and Piazza Castello served by buses and trams. This can be convenient if you want to start in the historic centre and continue on foot between Piazza Castello, the Royal Museums and Via Roma.
A walking itinerary if you have more time
If you enjoy walking, head through Piazza Statuto and along Via Garibaldi, one of the city’s main pedestrian streets. It is a longer but pleasant route, with opportunities to explore the centre gradually and stop at cafés and shops.
