Torino is a city in Italy close to the French border. The city is a famous haven for car manufacturers and thus it's surroundings are not exactly beautiful once outside of the city centre. However, there are plenty of fields to sleep in, public transport is cheap and the pizza is superb.

Hitching Out

West towards France, Chambery, Lyon, Grenoble

On the A32 (E70) in Susa (about 20km from Torino), there is a truck stop (with petrol station and restaurant) where you will find a lot of trucks going both ways (to Chambery or Turin). You can get in Susa by train and the spot worth the effort.

North

Whisperingofthestars attempted to hitch out of here for four hours from the industrial north of the town. Not a scratchling. Either be prepared for a lot of walking or get public transport out a little way.


Public transport

You can get a train from Porta Nuova for very cheap (€7) to the french border town Modane (train and bus) from which it is relatively simple to hitch out of to France. Likewise for other smaller towns outside of Torino in different directions.

Sleep

Walk out of the city a little way and you'll find many abandoned fields in front of factories and if you keep searching, some form of shelter. Bon chance!
