Turin - Torino : the nightlife
Turin has a night soul.
The evening aperitif
is the opening ritual for its Torinese inventors, with the city’s
historic cafés, wineries and new-style wine bars all pandering to this
passion, serving cocktails of vermouth, another of Turin’s glories, and fine
wines.
The Turin “movida” starts at the
Murazzi del Po, moves on to the streets of the old center, winding
up at the Ancient Roman Porta Palazzo district and the
Dora Docks.
Twice a year, the Notte Bianca
all-nighter keeps people on the streets until the sun comes up.

Murazzi
The Murazzi, or arcades that coast the
River Po, were once boatsheds.
Now they are one of the nerve centers of the
Turin movida: as the sun goes down, the Murazzi meet the need for some fun,
with a full calendar of live shows and dj sets in the area’s clubs and
nightspots.

Quadrilatero Romano
The Quadrilatero Romano is the place for anyone who
prefers gourmet quality pastimes: restaurants, wineries and wine bars, and
plenty of other locations offer the chance to mix traditional tastes and
international specialties.
Borgo Dora
Getting over to Borgo Dora is another
must for Turin nightlife. The area has so many restaurants and nightspots,
and it expresses totally the multicultural, multiethnic traits of new Turin.
During the twice-yearly Notte Bianca,
Borgo is the city’s fulcrum of all-night entertainment: stores and wine bars
stay open, and then there’s music, performances, attractions. All go, until
dawn comes up.

Docks Dora
Docks Dora was once an industrial area,
but is now a compulsory stop for anyone who wants to get down on the dance
floors of the city’s coolest discos.
Docks Dora isn’t just a temple of
nightlife, though: the area has photographers, recording
studios, architects, and qualifies as one of the nerve centers of
Torinese creativity.
