Where to buy the tickets
by Calcio
There are some big ticket-offices outside Stadio Delle Alpi. There you can buy tickets to all sectors at the stadium, except for the away-section.
But decide first where you would like to sit, as I don't think it's possible to buy tickets for all the sections in all the offices.
Tickets are very expensive for Juventus-games, be prepared to pay 25-30 euro for the worst seats.
You can also buy your ticket via www.juventus.com, but then you must find some shop/café in your italian city (not possible abroad) where you can pick up the ticket.
On 95 percent of Juventus games it isn't sold out. So normally you can come to the stadium and just buy your ticket there before the game.
There are also quite many black market-salesmen, but I would advice you to just buy from them in the very worst of scenarios. They take out huge over-prices, and you'll probably have to call your local bank before you can buy one of those tickets... ;)
Definately cheaper to see Torino thought. And there is never a sold out Torino-game, so just go to the stadium and buy your ticket there.
Try "Bicerin" ("little glass" from local dialect)
by caldarrosta
This historic drink of Turin, which has evolved from the eighteenth century “bavareisa”, was created right here in this café of the same name which jealously guards the traditional recipe. It’s an exquisite, hot drink- a mixture of espresso, chocolate ( the process is a well-guarded secret) and fresh cream. Served in a tall glass so you can admire the mouth watering melange of colours, the bicerin is a pleasure waiting to be discovered by those who love tempting the palate.
Villa Scott
by Jetgirly
Fans of Dario Argento may remember the haunted house that was featured in Deep Red / Profondo Rosso (my favorite movie of all time). Imagine my surprise when I found out that this beautiful old house is located right here in Torino, mere minutes from the youth hostel I was staying at! It is located across the Po in the neighbourhood called Crimea, at Corso Lanza 57. Basically just stay on Vittorio Emanuelle and cross the river, keep going straight, and then turn left onto Lanza (it is well marked). The house is a beautiful example of Art Deco architecture and was built in 1902. The neighbourhood is full of beautiful old houses and you can climb to the top of the hill for beautiful, panoramic views of the city, but Villa Scott stands out as the highlight of Crimea!

Northern Italy

centre known for a lot of exhibition, like The
Book Fair
lovely traditionnal café (since 1763)
by perelandra about Caffè Al Bicerin
This tiny café was founded in 1763. It offers a variety of coffees, including the Bicerin that made this place famous, and several cakes. The Bicerin is the drink that gave its name to this coffeehouse. It is a mixture of hot chocolate and coffee, topped with some cream, and servec in a glass. You're not supposed to stir the drink, because you should be able to recognize the tastes of the different ingredients. It is quite sweet, and if you're an addict to coffee you might prefer a stronger coffee, but for me it was just the right thing on that cold afternoon. Enjoy!
