Bars & Nightlife

For those who want to make a night of it, there are discos and discopubs (loved by the young trendy set). Every year, a new fashionable 'in' establishment springs up, it becomes the place to see and be seen and no one is allowed to think differently, although people should really try something new every so often.

La Gare (once a building used as a recreational club for railway workers), became the haunt of Turin's crème de la crème and is still going strong. Il Theatró is the place where the over 25s head to. Here, you can have a meal and then dance the night away. The Hennessy, is frequented by the "Bright young things" of Turin. It is situated on a hill, which rises towards Pino Torinese and during the summer there are outdoor dance floors where you can boogie until late.

However, if a Latin-American salsa is more your thing, then Ganas de Mar is the best disco in Turin to let yourself go.

You can spend an evening chatting and joking with friends. At the moment, Irish theme pubs the Shamrock Inn is the best loved amongst them. People often sit on the steps that join the first floor to the second rather than choosing a more traditional pub. The Divina Commedia has three floors and allows you to choose between Inferno, Purgatory and Paradise.

There are also cyber cafès such as Sherlock Holmes, the Artemia Cyber Club and the Cyber City Chat Cafè.
