The season closes indoors in a cold northern Italian city that does it well. Short journeys, a heavy evening movement, and a week that rewards booking the car for the day rather than for the match.
The week
Dates as published by the tournament. Turin is contracted to host through 2027. We review this page each year.
How the week works
The Finals run two sessions on most days, an afternoon and an evening, each with a doubles match and a singles match. That gives the week an unusual rhythm: two heavy arrivals and two heavy departures every day into a residential district that was not designed for it. The Santa Rita streets around the arena are narrow, the tram lines run down the middle of Corso Sebastopoli and Corso Agnelli, and the police close approaches as the crowd builds. None of it is difficult. It simply means the last eight hundred metres take longer than the first six kilometres.
The practical answer for most clients is the same one that works at Wimbledon or Monte-Carlo: a car and a driver held for the day, a drop-off as close to your entrance as the plan on the night allows, and a collection point agreed with the driver rather than guessed at in a crowd. Indoor tennis has no rain delays, but a three set match still finishes when it finishes, and the evening session regularly runs past eleven.
Journey times
| Journey | Quiet roads | Session days |
|---|---|---|
| Turin Airport (TRN) to city centre hotels | 25 to 35 minutes | 30 to 50 minutes |
| City centre hotels to the Inalpi Arena | 10 to 20 minutes | 20 to 40 minutes |
| Turin Airport (TRN) to the Inalpi Arena | 30 to 40 minutes | 40 to 60 minutes |
| Milan Linate (LIN) to Turin | 1 hour 45 to 2 hours 15 | Allow an extra 20 to 40 minutes |
| Turin to Lake Como | 2 hours to 2 hours 30 | Allow an extra 20 to 30 minutes |
| Turin to Courmayeur and the Aosta valley | 1 hour 45 to 2 hours 15 | Weather dependent in November |
Realistic ranges, not promises. November fog in the Po valley is the single most common reason a Piedmont road journey runs long.
Arriving by air
Turin Airport at Caselle is the obvious choice and puts you half an hour from the arena. Milan Linate is roughly two hours away by road but is the business aviation centre for northern Italy, with the depth of handling and parking that suggests, and plenty of clients arrive there and drive across. Malpensa and Bergamo are the other options in the same orbit. Which one suits depends on the aircraft, where you are staying and whether the aircraft is waiting for you all week.
November weather is the variable worth planning around. The Po valley produces genuine fog, and a diversion from Turin to Milan turns a thirty minute transfer into a two hour one. We watch the arrival either way and the car is where the aircraft actually lands, not where it was scheduled to. See Milan Linate, private terminals at Linate, London to Milan and private jet charter.

Questions people ask
Turin at Caselle is closest, about half an hour from the arena. Milan Linate is around two hours away by road but has more business aviation capacity. The aircraft and your hotel usually decide it.
We track the flight and move the car. A November diversion from Turin to Milan is not unusual, and it is the sort of thing worth having agreed in advance rather than solved at the time.
Yes. Most clients hold the car for the whole day. The gap between sessions is long enough to go back into the city, and short enough that you do not want to be arranging a second car.
Our own cars and chauffeurs are in London and Manchester, and a trusted global network covers everywhere else. In Italy cars are arranged through operators we know, and we stay responsible for the itinerary.
Often past eleven, sometimes later. The driver stays until you come out rather than to a booked time.
No. We are an independent company arranging travel to and from the event.
We deal with problems before you know they exist
