Attend a Torino Football Club match at the Olympic Stadium in Turin (Italy) – part 5
After attending a Juventus match in Turin, this time I’m going to discover the other club in the city, the Torino Football Club The Torino Football Club To be honest I don’t know the Torino any better than that. In spite of its long history (the club was founded in 1906), it’s been a while since it’s been playing the leading roles in Italy Even without really knowing the club, any soccer fan worthy of the name knows the emblem of the club: the bull, and recognizes its famous burgundy red jersey THE star and captain of the team is the striker Andrea Belotti, most of the flocked fan jerseys…

Gelateria La Romana: the Best Ice Cream of Turin (Italy) – part 4
Italian gastronomy is pastas, pizzas and ice cream! And indeed, there are glaciers on every corner. As we are amateurs, we tested some of them during our walks in the city. All in all, it’s a treat every time, Italian ice creams are incomparable with those we are used to eating elsewhere. Until you find the top of the top: Gelateria La Romana. Founded in 1947, this ice-cream parlour has become a franchise but the production remains artisanal and the ice-creams are a KILLDOWN! Most of the brand’s stores are in Italy but there are a few stores in Spain and Austria. I am announcing that when we stop traveling…

Turin (Italy): Visit of the Juventus Museum – part 2
After attending a Juventus match in Turin, I saw that it was possible to visit the museum as well as the stadium (with backstage discovery: the changing rooms, the corridor leading to the pitch, …). I’ve already made similar visits to Barcelona (the Camp Nou) and Saint-Denis (the Stade de France), so I’m interested! Reading the reviews on Tripadvisor, I note that it is advisable to buy your ticket on the internet beforehand to avoid the long queue (in the sun!). That’s what I do on their dedicated website. The ticket costs 15 € and you have to choose the day of the visit and if you want to come…

Buongiorno! Today we bring you to Italy, and more precisely to Turin, for 20 days of pizza, pasta, mozzarella etc… Except for a brief border crossing on a weekend, this is the first time we’ve actually stayed in Italy. Part 1: Travel Diary Part 2: Practical Tips Part 1: Travel Diary Chamonix trip => Turin Having obtained a late check-out, we leave our rented apartment in Chamonix at 4pm, and wait for the bus in the bar just in front of the bus terminal. I talk about “bus terminal” but it looks more like a parking lot. Our Flixbus is 10 minutes late, the driver only speaks to us in…

Attend a Juventus game at the Allianz Stadium (Italy)
Being a soccer fan, it is difficult not to consider attending a Juventus match while staying in Turin. As soon as we arrived, I inquired and saw with pleasure that a tasty Juventus of Turin vs Lazio of Rome would take place during our stay… before disappointing when I saw the price of the remaining tickets. So I gave up the idea of attending a match of The Old Lady, until Anh (who doesn’t know much about soccer) told me again: “It’s Juventus of Turin anyway, it’s mythical”. You didn’t have to tell me twice! Juventus of Turin is one of the best clubs in Europe and has won the…
