Turin is a rewarding city for dog owners — 18 km of covered porticoes shelter you from rain and summer sun, the Po riverside offers 10 km of continuous dog-friendly walks, and the Alps are an hour away for weekend escapes. A few local rules differ from the rest of Italy: the city enforces muzzles on public transport more strictly than Rome, and the summer heat is more intense than coastal cities.

💡 Quick Tips

1.Always carry a soft muzzle — Turin ticket inspectors enforce the rule rigorously on GTT metros and trams with €25–250 fines.
2.Summer pavement can reach 55 °C in July–August; walk before 09:00 or after 19:30 and prefer the porticoed streets that stay cooler.
3.Turin has 35+ Aree Cani (fenced off-leash areas) — the full map is on comune.torino.it/verdepubblico/aree-cani.
4.Every Turin hotel that accepts pets requires the EU pet passport and valid rabies vaccination at check-in — no exceptions.
5.Turin Airport (TRN) has a pet relief area outside Terminal 1 and most major airlines accept cabin pets on European routes.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Turin a good city to visit with a dog?

Yes — Turin is quieter than Milan or Rome, with 18 km of weather-sheltered porticoes, 35+ Aree Cani, extensive Po-side walks and easy Alpine day trips. A great base for a calm Italian city break.

Do I need paperwork to bring my dog to Turin?

EU residents need the EU pet passport with valid rabies vaccination. Non-EU visitors need an EU animal health certificate issued within 10 days of entry plus a rabies titer test for certain countries.

Can I take my dog to the Alps for a day trip?

Yes — Bardonecchia, Susa and Sestriere are all 1h–1h30 drive away and offer dog-friendly hiking in summer, and some ski resorts open marked snow trails for dogs in winter.
