According to reviews about shopping in Turin, the main local advantage is the longer sales periods (from January to the second half of February and from July to the second half of August) and fewer tourists compared to cities like Milan. This means there is a wider selection of products and more affordable prices (and in Turin's outlets, discounts ranging from 30-70% are available throughout the year).
The main shopping street in Turin is Via Roma, where you can find boutiques of famous brands such as Armani Collezioni, Adidas, Nike, Promos, Magli, Sisley, and Fernanda Zanotto. Via Garibaldi, one of the longest pedestrian shopping streets in Europe, is home to fashionable boutiques for young people and the official store of the local football club, Juventus.
Among the major shopping centers in Turin is one of Italy's largest malls, Le Gru, which features 180 boutiques with brand collections and operates from 9:00 to 22:00 without closing days.
Gallery Lingotto-Torino is the second most important outlet mall in Turin, featuring over 100 boutiques including Adidas, Tommy Hilfiger, Benetton, Nike, Sisley, Promos, Motivi, Tezenis, and others. It also houses a mega-market, restaurants, cafes, and an 11-screen cinema. In the center of Turin, there is the 7-story shopping center LAGRANGE 15, as well as the department store La Rinascente.
Shopping tours in Turin are primarily associated with the outlets in Piedmont. In the suburbs of Turin, you can find the Armani Factory Store outlet, where you can purchase Giorgio Armani products at significant discounts.
The most attractive outlet near Turin in terms of prices and assortment is the large Serravalle Designer Outlet. To get here from Turin, you need to take a train to Genoa and get off at Novi-Ligure station. From there, a shuttle bus operates daily from 9:00 to 20:20 and will take you to the outlet.
