  • Getting out from Main hall you’ll see Piazza Carlo Felice and Via Roma
    in front of you: the bust stop is on your left.
  • Catch the tram line number 4, direction “Cascinette Cap.”, for 13 stops.
  • Get off at “Gottardo” stop.
  • Turn left in Via Gottardo, and go straight on until you cross Via Cigna (there’s Sempione Park in front of you): turn left here and you’ll get to the VegFestival!

  • Point of departure: Turin Railway Station “Porta Susa”

  • Turn left in Via Rondissone, go straight on until you cross Via Cigna: turn right there and here you are!


By A4 highway from Milan:

After Rondissone toll-gate (where a toll is charged), go straight on until “Corso Giulio Cesare” way out, exit there and you’ll see a roundabout: go straight on and you’ll be in Corso Giulio Cesare. Go straight on there for about 2 km (1.25 miles), go over the first roundabout, and you’ll get to Piazza Derna, that has a second roundabout: turn right here, in Via Botticelli. After 300 metres (328 yards) you’ll find another square, Piazza Rebaudengo.

From Piazza Rebaudengo turn left in Corso Vercelli, and immediately right again in Via Toscanini (that makes a diagonal line from the right of the square). A bit further on you’ll see the Sempione Park on your right: from this point Via Toscanini changes its name in Via Cigna: you got here!
You’ll find the VegFestival a bit further on the park on your right.

By A5 highway from Aosta:

When you get to the beltway with A4, take A4 highway towards Torino (Turin).

By A21, A8, A32 highways (from the south or the west):

Take the ring road and go on towards “tangenziale nord” (“North ring road”).
Exit at “CASELLE / AEROPORTO CASELLE”, then follow to Torino (Turin), until you get to the last way out in Corso Grosseto.

Go on in Corso Grosseto until you see a very big crossroad, in a square called Piazza Rebaudengo.

Turn right there, and follow the sign to Via Cigna, or take Corso Vercelli and there turn immediately right in Via Toscanini (that makes a diagonal line from the right of the square). A bit further on, on your right, you’ll see the Sempione Park: here Via Toscanini becomes Via Cigna: here you are!
The VegFestival is on your right, a bit beyond the park.
