Hiring a bike in Turin gives you room to explore Valentino Park and the Po beyond the central squares. Turinbike and Movegreen offer shop collection, with ordinary city bicycles and pedal-assisted options. Choose your bicycle around the terrain and the outing, then agree collection, equipment and the return handover before setting off.
When a bike is useful
- Central Turin
- Generally flat; ordinary city bicycle
- Hills east of the Po
- Steep climbs; pedal assistance useful
Walking is the default for nearby central sights, while a bicycle adds useful reach for outings through the parks and along the Po. The roads towards Superga and Colle della Maddalena demand more climbing than a riverside ride, even with assistance.
| Bicycle | Hire period | Typical cost |
|---|---|---|
| Ordinary city bike | A few hours | €10–€20 |
| Ordinary city bike | Full day | €15–€30 |
| E-bike | A few hours | €20–€35 |
| E-bike | Full day | €30–€50 |
Hire length, bicycle specification and accessories move the price within these ranges. Ask which equipment is included before accepting the hire. For station and southern-district journeys without cycling, Turin metro routes and tickets offer a rail alternative.
Turinbike and Movegreen
Turinbike hires out the ordinary City Bike and pedal-assisted City E-Bike. These give you a choice between straightforward pedalling and motor assistance while you pedal. Collection and returns during shop closures, including public holidays, require an appointment, so agree the handover rather than simply arriving outside opening hours.

With shop hire, you collect from an identifiable premises. A marketplace listing instead depends on the individual provider’s arranged handover: agree the collection point and return with that provider, rather than assuming there is a shop counter.
Collecting and returning your bike
For Turinbike, send a request through the shop’s website with your collection date and time, bicycle type, size and accessories. The shop replies with a proposal. Settle the arrangement before going to collect. Giving your measurements helps the shop prepare a suitable bicycle.
Bring a valid identity document for the rental period. An adult must also countersign the rental contract.
At collection and return
Do
- Test the brakes, inspect the tyres and adjust the saddle before setting off.
- Arrange a lock or another secure way to leave the bicycle when you stop.
- For an e-bike, ask how to use the assistance and handle charging.
- Agree the return time, place and handover with the shop.
Don’t
- Ride away with a fault or a poor fit that the shop could resolve.
- Leave the bicycle unsecured during a sightseeing stop.
- Assume you can leave the bicycle outside a closed shop.
Valentino Park and the Po by bike
| Cycling leg | Distance | Riding time |
|---|---|---|
| Turinbike → Valentino Park, at the castle | about 2 km | about 6 minutes |
| Valentino Park → Piazza Vittorio Veneto | about 1.6 km | about 6 minutes |
| Total for these two legs | about 3.6 km | about 12 minutes |
Once you have collected your bicycle at Turinbike, head to Valentino Park for the castle exterior and a riverside pause. Allow time to enjoy the park and stop by the Po between rides. From the park, continue to Piazza Vittorio Veneto, the broad square beside the river and facing the bridge towards the hills.
Valentino Park has broad asphalt lanes alongside dirt or gravel tracks and some paved or stepped stretches. Choose tyres comfortable on mixed surfaces rather than narrow road tyres. Riverside paths also vary, with unpaved sections on longer outings beyond Ponte Balbis. Use a rideable path, dismount at steps and follow posted access restrictions wherever you enter shared spaces.

Cycle lanes, pavements and scooter rules
On the park-and-Po outing and elsewhere in Turin, do not cycle on pavements or under porticoes unless expressly permitted. Use designated cycle routes, and in shared cycle-pedestrian spaces, ride moderately and keep clear of people and animals.
Bicycles may enter pedestrian areas unless signs prohibit them. Follow any posted access hours and walk your bicycle where required.
Ordinary bicycles and standard pedal-assisted bicycles have no national helmet requirement, though wearing one is sensible protection. Cross tram rails as close to a right angle as possible so your wheel does not catch. Slow down on wet surfaces and park without blocking doorways or pedestrian routes.
