Allianz Stadium Turin away guide

Fly into Turin (Caselle, TRN), which has direct UK flights from London year-round and from Manchester seasonally, then take the Arriva airport bus (line 268) to the centre and tram 9 or bus 72 out to the ground, about 7 km north-west in Vallette. Away fans sit in the north-east corner, roughly 2,000 places, entering via Gate E.

Fast facts

Getting there from the UK

There is no single obvious way in, so weigh the options against your fixture date. London flies direct to Turin (Caselle, TRN) year-round, so London fans go straight in. Manchester's direct route only runs in ski season (roughly December to April with Ryanair, Jet2 and easyJet), so for an autumn or spring European tie a Manchester fan either flies from a London airport, or takes the cheaper year-round route of flying to a Milan airport (Bergamo or Malpensa) and going overland to Turin in about two hours. Every route then finishes with the airport bus 268 to the centre and tram 9 or bus 72 out to the ground.

Costs are estimates and swing hard with fixture date and how early you book.

Getting there from Turin Airport (Caselle / TRN)

Take the Arriva Italia airport bus (line 268, formerly SADEM), which links Caselle to the city centre. It stops at both Porta Nuova and Porta Susa railway stations and runs roughly every 15 to 30 minutes. A one-way ticket is 7.50 euro, or 15 euro return. There is also a Metro Line 1 extension serving the airport corridor, but the bus remains the simplest link to the two main stations.

Getting to the stadium from the city centre

The stadium is about 7 km from the centre in Vallette, so you need public transport or a taxi. The usual options are tram line 9, or bus lines 72 / 72B; on non-matchdays buses 62, 72 and 75 also run out. By metro, the closest Line 1 stop is Bernini, from where you change onto a connecting bus. A taxi from the centre is roughly 20 euro. Note there is no public transport at the ground after full-time, so plan the return before you go.

Away section and turnstiles

Away fans are in a small area in the north-east corner, roughly 2,000 places, entering via Gate E. As a guide to the layout, for the Manchester City visit the allocation was upper sectors 211 and 212 (1,083 combined) plus lower sector 110 (1,016), a total of 2,099 including 26 wheelchair bays. Pitch views are generally good, with lower-tier seats close to the action, though some spots are partly obstructed by barriers and cable-support infrastructure. The low-roof design dampens crowd noise, so the away end tends to make its own atmosphere. This guide is written for European away days; for domestic Serie A fixtures, Italian away-section rules and closures can change at short notice, so check with your club's supporter liaison officer.

Matchday logistics for away fans

For high-profile fixtures, visiting fans have been directed to meet at Valentino Park (Parco del Valentino, Corso Massimo d'Azeglio), with shuttle buses to the stadium under police escort. After the whistle there is no public transport at the ground, so you use the return shuttle to the meeting point, and you may be held inside the ground for up to 40 minutes until police authorise departure. The Valentino Park meeting point is wheelchair accessible.

Tickets, payments and what to expect inside

Tickets are digital only, with no printed versions, so make sure you can open yours on your phone. Inside, only card payments are accepted at concessions, so you do not need cash for refreshments. Turin's two main rail stations are Torino Porta Nuova and Torino Porta Susa, both on the airport-bus route and both good bases for city transport. For satnav or taxi, use the stadium address Corso Gaetano Scirea 50, 10151 Turin.

Where to stay

Base yourself in the centre near Porta Nuova, or in the Quadrilatero Romano old town, or in San Salvario just south of Porta Nuova. All three put you close to the airport bus, the tram and bus out to the ground, and the bars and restaurants, and none is a long walk from the two main stations. The stadium district (Vallette) itself is residential with little for a visitor, so stay central and travel out.

Where to drink

Pre-match drinking happens in the centre, not at the ground, so build your day around the old town.

• Birreria La Mutua, Quadrilatero Romano: a proper beer bar with a big draught and bottled range, lively and shows major matches, popular with a younger crowd.
• St Martin Pub: 20 beers on draught plus pizzas and burgers, an easy meet-up spot before you head out.
• MacGillyCuddy's, via Bligny: evening-only Irish-style pub showing football, a short walk from St Martin.
• Bar Cavalli, Quadrilatero Romano: smarter and more stylish, good for a civilised aperitivo rather than a session.
• Any bar around Piazza Vittorio Veneto or Piazza Emanuele Filiberto: this is the aperitivo heartland, where a drink usually comes with a buffet of nibbles in the early evening.

A beer in a central bar is roughly 5 to 7 euro (estimate), and an aperitivo (a drink plus the buffet) around 8 to 12 euro. Keep colours discreet on public transport and around the ground, do not go looking for the ultras' bars, and you will find Turin a relaxed, café-culture city rather than a hostile one.

Where to eat

Turin is Piedmontese food country, so eat well before the match. The dishes to try are agnolotti (small stuffed pasta, usually in butter and sage or a meat jus), vitello tonnato (thin poached veal under a tuna-and-caper sauce), tajarin (fine egg pasta), and bicerin (the local espresso, chocolate and cream drink) as a mid-afternoon pick-me-up.

• Caffè Al Bicerin: the 1763 café that still serves its namesake bicerin, a quick, atmospheric stop rather than a meal.
• Scannabue, San Salvario: neighbourhood favourite for Piedmontese classics, proper vitello tonnato, tajarin and slow-cooked veal.
• Vitel Etonné: a 19th-century cellar room where vitello tonnato is the headline dish.
• Antiche Sere: honest, traditional Piedmontese cooking, agnolotti and vitello done straight.
• Ristorante Consorzio: well-regarded for agnolotti and regional dishes, more of a sit-down dinner.
• Porta Palazzo market and the Quadrilatero streets: cheap panini, focaccia and street food if you want to eat quick and keep moving.

What to do

If you are making a day or two of it, Turin repays the effort. It is elegant, arcaded and underrated.

• Mole Antonelliana: the city's 167-metre landmark, with a glass lift to a panoramic viewing deck and the Alps beyond on a clear day.
• National Cinema Museum: housed inside the Mole, an interactive walk through film history.
• Egyptian Museum: often called the best of its kind outside Cairo, with more than 30,000 artefacts.
• Piazza San Carlo and the arcaded centre: grand baroque squares and cafés, the heart of Turin's coffee culture.
• The Royal Palace and Palazzo Madama: former Savoy residences and museums on Piazza Castello.
• Parco del Valentino: riverside park with the mock Medieval Village, and the away-fan meeting point for big matches.
• Juventus Museum and the Allianz Stadium tour: if you fancy seeing the trophies and the ground on a non-matchday.

Common questions

How do you get to the stadium from Turin Airport?

Take the Arriva airport bus (line 268) to the centre, which stops at Porta Nuova and Porta Susa and runs every 15 to 30 minutes at 7.50 euro one-way. From the centre continue on tram 9 or bus 72 / 72B, or take a taxi. Allow around an hour and a half door to door.

Which airport do I fly to, and is there a direct flight?

Fly to Turin Caselle (TRN). London has direct flights year-round from Stansted and Luton. Manchester's direct route is seasonal, roughly December to April, so outside that window fly from a London airport or connect through a European hub like Amsterdam or Paris.

Where do away fans sit?

In a small section in the north-east corner, holding roughly 2,000, entering via Gate E. Views from the lower tier are close and good, though a few seats are partly blocked by barriers and cabling.

What is the away allocation?

Roughly 2,000. For the Manchester City visit it worked out at 2,099 tickets across upper sectors 211 and 212 and lower sector 110, including 26 wheelchair bays. Exact numbers vary by fixture and competition.

What time should I get to the ground?

For big European fixtures fans are often marshalled from a meeting point at Valentino Park with shuttle buses under police escort, so allow extra time and aim to be at the meeting point well before kick-off rather than turning up at the turnstiles late.

Can I drink in the ground?

There is a concourse with food and drink, but payment is card only, no cash. Serie A grounds typically restrict alcohol in the stands, so treat the concourse as basic and do your proper drinking in the city beforehand.

How much is a beer?

Roughly 5 to 7 euro for a beer in a central bar (estimate). An aperitivo, a drink with the early-evening buffet, is around 8 to 12 euro and often better value if you are hungry. Card is accepted almost everywhere.

Is Turin safe for away fans?

Yes, broadly. Turin is a relaxed, café-culture city and the centre is comfortable to walk. Keep club colours discreet on public transport and near the ground, avoid seeking out home ultras' bars, and follow police marshalling on matchday. Standard city-centre caution around Porta Nuova and Porta Palazzo late at night applies.

Where are the away-friendly areas?

The Quadrilatero Romano old town and San Salvario are the go-to districts for pre-match food and drink, and the squares around Piazza Vittorio Veneto are the aperitivo heartland. Stay central, drink in the city, and travel out to the ground together.

Does the match ticket include free transport?

No. Unlike some European cities, there is no evidence the Juventus ticket covers city transport, so buy a GTT ticket. A single is 2.00 euro (1.70 euro by app or contactless), valid 100 minutes, and a day pass is 4.50 euro.

How far is the stadium from the centre?

About 7 km north-west in the Vallette district, roughly 25 to 30 minutes by tram or bus. It is too far to walk, and the district itself is residential, so base yourself in the centre and travel out.

Where should I stay?

Stay central, near Porta Nuova, in the Quadrilatero Romano, or in San Salvario. All three are close to the airport bus, the tram and bus routes to the ground, and the best bars and restaurants. The stadium area has little for visitors, so there is no reason to stay out there.

What is the stadium address for satnav or taxi?

Corso Gaetano Scirea 50, 10151 Turin.
