Italy
Turin
Away-day guide
Turin is compact, good for food and usually cheaper than Italy’s biggest tourist cities, but Juventus’ stadium sits well north of the centre and needs proper matchday planning. Base yourself around Porta Nuova, San Salvario or the historic centre for easy trains, pubs and late-night food.
Public transport
Central Turin is flat and walkable, with Porta Nuova, Piazza San Carlo, Piazza Castello and the Quadrilatero Romano all within roughly 10–20 minutes of one another. GTT runs the metro, trams and buses. A City 100 ticket costs 2, lasts 100 minutes and covers buses and trams plus one metro journey. The daily ticket is 4.50; tourist tickets are also available for 48 and 72 hours. Buy from metro machines, tabacchi, newsagents or the GTT To Move app, and tap or validate whenever required. Metro Line M1 links Porta Nuova and Porta Susa but does not reach Allianz Stadium; on Juventus matchdays, the usual route is M1 to Bernini followed by the special tram or bus connection towards the ground. Use Trenitalia for airport and regional rail tickets. Turin’s central ZTL and matchday road controls make driving poor value for most visitors.

✈ Airports & cheaper alternatives
- Turin Airport (Torino Caselle) TRN primary 16 km Trains run from the airport station to Torino Porta Susa in roughly 35 minutes. Arriva airport coaches continue to Porta Nuova and normally take 45–50 minutes. The simplest option and close enough for a short weekend trip. A taxi to central Turin is roughly 40 outside heavy traffic.
- Milan Malpensa Airport MXP alternative 140 km Direct coaches run to Turin, usually terminating around Porta Susa. Alternatively take a train to Milano Centrale and change for a high-speed or regional train to Torino Porta Susa or Porta Nuova. Often has a wider choice of flights and can be cheaper, but allow at least two hours for the transfer to Turin.
- Milan Bergamo Airport BGY alternative 180 km Use a direct Turin coach when its timetable suits. Otherwise take an airport bus to Milano Centrale, then a train to Torino Porta Susa or Porta Nuova. Allow around three hours overall. Useful for cheap Ryanair-style fares, although the long transfer can wipe out the saving on a one-night trip.
🍺 Supporters' pubs
Juventus
Home fans: The main home gathering is outside Allianz Stadium around its car parks and food and drink trucks, starting two or three hours before kick-off. In the centre, Juventus supporters also use The 1870 Huntsman Pub and Six Nations Murphy’s. Around Turin organises changing meet-ups aimed at overseas Juventus supporters.
Away fans: The 1870 Huntsman Pub on Corso Vittorio Emanuele II 43 is the strongest neutral recommendation and has hosted both Juventus and visiting supporters. Six Nations Murphy’s at number 28, Shamrock Inn at number 34 and Jumping Jester on Via Giuseppe Mazzini 2/L are other central, internationally minded choices. Piazza Castello is a common informal gathering point for travelling fans, with Piazza San Carlo and Piazza Vittorio Veneto used as alternatives. These are not permanent police-approved fan zones, so follow instructions from the visiting club. Avoid showing away colours around the Curva Sud approaches and stadium-side home gatherings, particularly for high-risk fixtures.
Juventus are Turin’s only senior men’s club in a 2026–27 UEFA competition, playing in the Europa League league phase. There is no single dominant Juventus pub in the city centre, and match-specific police restrictions can change where visiting supporters are allowed to gather or drink.
Sourced from supporters' forums — always follow your club's and police advice for the fixture.
Nightlife
San Salvario, south-east of Porta Nuova around Via Baretti and Largo Saluzzo, has the densest mix of affordable bars and late drinking. The Quadrilatero Romano, especially around Piazza Emanuele Filiberto and Via Sant’Agostino, suits a mixed group wanting bars, restaurants and somewhere to sit outside. Vanchiglia around Via Santa Giulia is younger and less polished, with smaller bars and cheaper options. Piazza Vittorio Veneto and the nearby Murazzi riverside arches are better for a larger night out, but prices rise on the main square. The Porta Nuova pub cluster is the easiest choice for football, familiar beer and English-speaking staff.
Food & drink
Look for a traditional piola for Piedmontese cooking. Local dishes include agnolotti del plin, tajarin pasta, vitello tonnato and, in colder weather, bagna càuda. Turin is the home of vermouth and has a strong aperitivo habit, although the food included varies considerably between bars. Try a bicerin—coffee, chocolate and cream—or an ordinary espresso at the counter for the cheapest caffeine. Gianduiotti are the city’s hazelnut-chocolate speciality. Restaurants normally add a coperto cover charge, shown on the menu.
Cheap eats & beer
For a cheap central feed, try Poormanger on Via Maria Vittoria for large filled baked potatoes, generally around 8–12, or M**Bun on Corso Siccardi for Piedmontese-style burgers and meal deals around 10–15. Piola da Cianci at Largo IV Marzo is a busy, no-frills option for local pasta and meat dishes; expect queues and book if possible. Near Allianz Stadium, the food and drink trucks outside the ground are the most practical pre-match option, while the Area12 shopping centre has chain cafés and fast food. San Salvario, particularly around Via Baretti and Largo Saluzzo, usually offers better-value drinking than Piazza San Carlo; a standard 0.5L beer is commonly 5–7. The Huntsman, Six Nations Murphy’s, Shamrock Inn and Jumping Jester form a handy pub cluster near Porta Nuova, though they are central pubs rather than especially cheap ones. Turin has no single established Juventus ultras pub.
Staying safe
Turin is generally straightforward, but watch phones and wallets around Porta Nuova, Porta Susa, Porta Palazzo and on crowded trams. Stick together late at night when leaving San Salvario or the station areas, and use an official taxi rank or booked car rather than accepting an approach from an unofficial driver. On matchday, keep colours covered away from your group and avoid stadium-side home gatherings and the Curva Sud approaches. Carry photo ID because stadium tickets are checked against it. Police can introduce alcohol or glass bans at short notice, so pay attention to notices in the central squares and around the ground.
On matchday
At Allianz Stadium, visiting supporters use the segregated Settore Ospiti, with separate approaches, turnstiles and security checks. Tickets are personalised, so carry the original photo ID matching the name on the ticket; do not buy a home-end ticket and expect to enter in away colours. Allow plenty of time for searches and the walk from the transport drop-off, and expect a possible hold-back after full time. Police may direct away coaches or groups onto dedicated routes. Closures and bus diversions can affect Via Druento, Corso Gaetano Scirea and roads immediately around the stadium, while alcohol, glass and gathering restrictions can be imposed fixture by fixture. Check the visiting club’s final travel notice and GTT service alerts rather than relying on normal route planners.
