Ok cool, I’ll look into those places to stay. When are you planning to go btw?
No problem, thinking about going in April, maybe to the Genoa match

Quick word of advice: If you want to stay in the city centre of Turin, do not book one of the Lingotto hotels. It's about a 45-50 min walk to the centre, or 20-25 min by bus.
I thought that there was a lot near Lingotto, is there not a mall there? Is it not quite close to the stadium?

Where else should I look to stay in Turin?what do you recommend doing/seeing?
Like I said I have only been to Turin to go to the football.

There is a pretty decent mall (with a Juve store :D) in the Lingotto, that's right. There's also the Eataly store on the opposite side (a must visit if you're into foods & wines), but other than that, there's really nothing interesting in the neighbourhood.

Personally, I always stay in the vicinity of the Porta Nuova (main station). Very centrally located, and you can get to anywhere from there. The stadium is about a 25 min walk from here I think, but you can take the bus or tram as well (like many fans do).
Best hotel I've been to so far is the Atahotel Concord, but that can be quite expensive, depending on how/when you book. You can't go wrong with a Best Western either (there are about 6 or 7 in that part of town).

As for what to do, well that depends on you guys. Since I don't know what you're into: clubbing, museums, shopping, ...?

What's so funny about museums? I can honestly say I have visited a museum in Turin. Okay, it was an exhibition about Juve, but still :D



And I'm sure that if there was some sort of "sick porn through the ages" museum you'd visit it. Twice a day.

Booked my flights to Rome for a trip 31st March to 6th April.

Plan is to go to Roma-Juve and up to Milan for the derby.

Does anybody know when they will announce the kick off times for games at the end of March/ early April?

At the moment they are all Sunday 3pm but obviously this will change for TV.

It makes it a nightmare to book accomodation, not knowing whether the game is Saturday or Sunday (or even Monday or Friday).

I'm in the same boat on this. Waiting to see when Roma-Juve and Milan-Inter are going to be played.

It's normally a few weeks in advance at least, but I imagine it could be later if they want to wait to see how the CL draw goes.

I was over for Juve-Palermo earlier in the season.

Went to Lazio-Milan and Roma-Inter on that trip too.

Didn't happen last time, even though I was in the middle of the Drughi.

Not comfortable singing other club's songs.

Only singing I joined in with was Lazio abusing Gattuso, because it reminded me of when I used to do the same thing when he was at Rangers.
