Football Trips to Turin

Football Trips to Turin

Turin wears two football colours at once: Juventus black and white, sharp and global, and Torino maroon, local and emotional. For us, football trips to Turin are never just a weekend around one giant club. They are a journey through the city where Italian league football began on 8 May 1898 at Velodromo Umberto I in Piazza d’Armi.

Two football souls, one Serie A city

Juventus was founded on 1 November 1897 by students, originally played in pink, and took a name that means “youth” in Latin. Torino grew into the city’s maroon heartbeat, shaped by neighbourhood memory and loyalty. Together, Juventus and Torino make Serie A in Turin feel layered, personal and full of contrast.

At Football Travel, we have helped over 50,000 travelers enjoy football trips since 2008. Our packages combine flights, hotel and guaranteed entry through official partners, so you can focus on the city, the colours and the game itself. If you are choosing between a polished superclub setting, a deeper local ritual or the Derby della Mole, Turin gives you all three.

  • For the league landscape, our Serie A trips place Turin among Italy’s essential football cities.
  • If black and white is calling, our packages for Juventus put Allianz Stadium at the centre of the weekend.

Juventus in black and white

Allianz Stadium opened on 8 September 2011 with 41,507 seats, and it feels built for intensity. The closest rows sit only 7.5 metres from the pitch, with no athletics track to dilute the noise or sightlines. Around it, around 200,000 square metres of once-abandoned land became a full Juventus district: Juventus Museum, Juventus Megastore, J|Hotel, J|Medical, headquarters, training centre and J|Village.

A Juventus matchday experience is polished from the first notes outside the arena. Lights, music, DJ sets, videos, black-and-white flags and fan activities turn the build-up into a show, while family features such as Baby Parks and Jay House make the day feel welcoming without losing its edge.

  • Arrive with time to feel the district wake up before a Serie A match in Turin.
  • Step into the Juventus Museum if your schedule allows; it gives the club’s trophies and turning points a clear place in the day.
  • Use the Juventus Megastore before the crowds thicken, then enter early enough for the lights and music to do their work.
  • When the competition stretches beyond Italy, our Champions League trips show how big European nights change the temperature at elite venues.

Torino’s maroon ritual

Torino offers the counterpoint: slower, rawer, rooted in Santa Rita. Stadio Olimpico Grande Torino has 28,177 seats, was built in 1933 and renovated in 2006 for the Winter Olympics. Between Corso Sebastopoli and Via Filadelfia, the day gathers in maroon shirts, scarf sellers and familiar faces before the walk to the ground. The Curva Maratona is its emotional centre.

Via Filadelfia connects today’s home to the old Filadelfia ground, opened on 17 October 1926, demolished in 1997 and reopened on 25 May 2017. That place holds seven league titles, five Coppe Italia, a Mitropa Cup and a 100-game unbeaten home run from 1943 to 1949.

  • The Grande Torino story still rests heavily here: five straight league titles, 10 of Italy’s 11 players against Hungary in 1947 coming from Torino, and the Superga crash on 4 May 1949, when 31 lives were lost.
  • Before the game, the area has its own rhythm, from Sweet Toro and Sweet Cafe to Fragole & BARbera, Capriccio and Birreria Don Giovanni.
  • Our trips with Torino are for fans who want streets, memory and a very local pulse.
  • For travellers drawn to clubs with a strong identity, our unique football trips capture that same sense of place.

The derby changes everything

The Derby della Mole is Juventus vs Torino, named after the Mole Antonelliana that rises above the city. First played on 13 January 1907, when Torino beat Juventus 2–1, it is often described as the oldest city derby in Italy. Its origin makes the rivalry feel like a family split rather than a simple local grudge.

Alfredo Dick, a former Juventus president, left after internal disputes and helped found Torino, with some foreign Juventus players following him. That break still echoes. If your dates are flexible, this is the fixture to target: global power, neighbourhood pride and a city holding its breath.

  • Our derby trips are built around rivalries where the streets matter as much as the scoreboard.
  • For fixtures with an extra competitive edge, Clash of the Titans brings together the games that feel bigger from the moment the calendar is released.

Food, streets and the final choice

A football weekend in Turin should leave room for the city’s flavours. After Juventus, the stadium district is the natural focus before heading back into town for dinner or drinks. With Torino, stay closer to Santa Rita and Via Filadelfia, where the walk is part of the story.

Order Vermouth di Torino, try bicerin, look for agnolotti, vitel tonné, gianduiotti, hazelnuts and Barbera. Quadrilatero Romano suits old-town evenings, San Salvario carries the night further, while Piazza Vittorio Veneto and the river area give the city a softer glow after the final whistle.

  • Choose Juventus if you want a sleek big-club stage and a choreographed build-up.
  • Choose Torino if maroon rituals, local memory and Santa Rita streets speak louder.
  • Choose the derby if you want both sides of the city in one charged evening.
  • If you want to combine more than one game, our double and triple football trips can turn a Serie A trip to Turin into a wider Italian football escape.
  • For flexible ideas across the season, budget-friendly football trips can help shape the right departure without losing the essentials.

We make the journey simple by bringing the travel elements together with guaranteed entry, carefully selected hotels and the experience gained from sending thousands of fans into Europe’s great football cities. In Turin, the choice is not only which side you follow. It is which version of the city you want to feel first.
