How much is the tourist tax in Turin?

Are you planning a trip to Turin? As well as deciding where to stay and what to see, it’s worth knowing that a tourist tax is in place in the Piedmontese capital. This levy was introduced to help enhance the city’s cultural heritage and improve tourism services. It is mandatory for anyone staying in accommodation within the city and the amount charged depends on the type of lodging selected.

Here’s what you need to know about the cost of the tourist tax in 2025, who is required to pay it, and who may be entitled to an exemption.

Tourist tax in Turin: current rates

The tourist tax in Turin varies depending on the category and type of accommodation, taking into account the services included and the level of comfort provided. The tax is collected at the time of payment for the stay and applies per reporting period (quarterly), but cannot exceed 7 consecutive nights per guest.

Rates are set according to a tiered structure, as follows:

• Hostels and campsites: €1.00 per night
• 1-star and 2-star hotels, RTAs, and non-hotel accommodation: €2.30 per night
• 3-star hotels and RTAs: €2.80 per night
• 4-star hotels and RTAs: €3.70 per night
• 5-star and 5-star luxury hotels: €5.00 per night

For short-term tourist rentals booked via online platforms, the tax is calculated as 10.5% of the apartment cost (excluding VAT and any additional services), with a cap of €7.00 per person, per night.

Who is exempt from paying the tourist tax?

The following individuals are exempt from paying the tourist tax:

• Coach drivers and tour leaders assisting organised groups (exemption applies to one driver and one tour leader for every 20 participants);
• Patients admitted to healthcare facilities and their accompanying persons (up to a maximum of two per patient), provided a certificate is issued by the facility indicating the patient’s details and the duration of treatment or hospitalisation.
