Travel & Logistics

We’re so excited to see you in Piedmont! As part of your travel planning, we recommend that you purchase travel insurance that covers your booking for unforeseen events and interruptions of your trip. We also suggest purchasing refundable flights or flight protection.

Arrival in Turin

Be sure to set your clocks—in Piedmont you’re on Central European Time (CET), which for most of the year is +9 hours ahead of Pacific Time, and +1 hour ahead of GMT / UTC.

Trip Start

Our trip begins at 9am on Saturday, September 10, 2022 in Turin, at the Turin Palace Hotel (see Our Accommodations). We recommend arriving at least one full day prior to the start of our trip, in case of travel delays or other unforeseen transit delays. For recommendations on where to stay the night before, see the following Pre-Arrival Accommodations section, below.

Arrival Airport

The closest airport is Turin’s Torino International Airport (TRN). There are frequent direct flights to TRN from Europe's major hubs; currently there is no direct service to TRN from the US.

Transfer from Airport

We recommend booking a taxi through our hotel, the Turin Palace Hotel, no more than 30 days ahead of your arrival by email info@turinpalacehotel.com, and let them know you are traveling with Modern Adventure. Alternatively, you can organize your own taxi upon arrival at TRN airport. Expect to pay 40 to 50 euros for the 30-minute ride into central Turin and our hotel.

Pre-Arrival Accommodations

We stay in small boutique hotels on this trip—rooms go fast and daily rates change frequently. If you plan to arrive in Turin prior to the beginning of our journey, we recommend staying at the Turin Palace Hotel (see Our Accommodations), which is also our meeting place on Day One. Contact the hotel directly to book, and let them know you will be on a trip with Modern Adventure and would like to extend your stay prior to the trip start. We will do everything in our power to avoid unnecessary room changes, allowing you to stay in the same room from start to finish—however, please note that this is not always an option and rooms are subject to change.

If Turin Palace Hotel is completely booked for the days preceding our trip, here are other options we recommend:

Departure from Gavi

We end our trip—after seven days filled with adventure, exploration and connection—on Friday, September 16, 2022.

Departure Airport

The most convenient option for outbound flights is Torino International Airport (TRN), the same airport we started at.

Transfer to Airport

After breakfast on our last day, Modern Adventure will provide a complimentary transfer to Turin's TRN airport (approx. 90 min). If you would like to join this transfer, your flight home should depart TRN at 2pm or later.

Please note: If you book a flight that leaves TRN earlier than 2pm, or if you are planning on extending your time in Gavi, it is your responsibility to arrange alternative transportation from Gavi. Please arrange your taxi at least 5 days in advance by contacting our hotel, Villa Sparina (see Our Accommodations), directly, and let them know you are traveling with Modern Adventure.

Post-Trip Accommodations

We hope you have the opportunity to extend your stay in Piedmont. Please note that any post-trip accommodation is your responsibility to book directly with our hotels (see Our Accommodations). In Turin, if there is no availability at the Turin Palace Hotel, see our alternate hotels in Pre-Arrival Accommodations.
