Remote Work in Turin: A Guide to the Best Spaces
Discover the bars, cafes and coworking spaces with fast WiFi and great coffee.
Turin is one of Italy's best-kept secrets for remote work. Historic cafes, modern coworking spaces, and bars with fast WiFi — the options are endless. But how do you pick the right spot?
What to Look For
Before you sit down, check three things:
- Fast WiFi — at least 10 Mbps download. Ask the barista or run a Speedtest.
- Power outlets — your laptop won't last all day. Look for tables near walls.
- Noise level — some buzz is fine, but if you're on calls all day, look for quiet zones.
Best Neighborhoods
San Salvario
The liveliest area for freelancers. Via Madama Cristina is packed with bars offering big tables and WiFi. Around Piazza Madama Cristina, you'll always find someone with a laptop open.
Vanchiglia
Quieter, more university-oriented. Perfect for deep focus work. Bars here tend to be less crowded during peak hours.
Centro (Porta Nuova)
Convenient if you arrive by train. Toolbox Coworking is the reference (16.50 euro/day), but there are cheaper bars in the side streets.
Aurora / Borgo Dora
Nodo Borgodora offers 4 hours of coworking for 5 euro, coffee included. Perfect on a student budget.
How Much Does It Cost to Work From a Cafe?
Honestly? Often just a drink (1.50-3 euro). But if you want a guaranteed spot with verified WiFi and a power outlet, Remotica lets you book ahead starting at 4 euro/hour.
Practical Tips
- Arrive early — the best spots fill up by 10 AM.
- Bring headphones — even "quiet" places have the espresso machine running.
- Order every 2 hours — it's good etiquette and supports the venue.
- Check Remotica — see live occupancy before you leave home.
