Hi! Can I ask how cold it is in Palavela? I'll be there tomorrow and don't really know how to prepare.
It depends on where you sit and how full it is. Closer to the ice is always colder than higher up. Dress in layers. I usually recommend to take a blanket for the feet just in case. Bring a cushion or something to sit on as the seats are metal. If you're a while in the arena it starts to get cold.
This way you should be prepared for all eventualities.

Turin anon again, glad the suggestions were helpful!
You’ll be here for the Grand Prix, that’s great! And it takes care of the main esc site since you’ll already be at the Palavela 😉 It’s in the park surrounded by a residential quarter and lots of hospitals, the only interesting thing relatively close by will be The Lingotto complex (there’s a mall in the old factory, lots of places to eat at odd ours, the Pinacoteca Agnelli, The Bubble on the roof, a metro station, Eataly and the Green Pea) and the National Car Museum.
I’d maybe skip La Reggia di Venaria since it’s outside the city and you have to be at the Palavela in late afternoon, it could all get a bit rushed. If you just want to explore and relax pretty much everything I suggested in the previous ask is clustered in the city center and easily reachable on foot moving between Porta Nuova (the central station and a major transports hub) Piazza Vittorio (the cinema museum is less than 5 minutes away and there’s lots of places to eat around the Mole) Piazza Castello and in the Quadrilatero Romano.
For Christmas atmosphere my first suggestion normally would be looking up a map or a tour of Luci D’Artista -a series of contemporary art does Christmas lights installations sprinkled around the city (they should go on as usual this year but who knows what will happen with energy prices skyrocketing) and there’s often a small Christmas Market in Piazza Castello. There’s also a huge tourism info point on piazza Castello with free flyers, maps and personnel that mostly knows what they’re doing and a good take away pizza place at the corner with via garibaldi, Focacceria Ligure. I’d also skip Via Garibaldi itself and explore the smaller streets around it towards the Old Citadel (the aforementioned Quadrilatero Romano) lots of hole in the wall places to eat, quirky shops and smaller museums. Two of my favorite spots are Piazza Carignano (love Palazzo Carignano’s architecture, there’s Pepino for gelato and Farmacia del Cambio for pastries (especially the mini bunets) and something warm to drink. Both have outside seating with heating in winter and my favorite bookshop, Libreria Luxemburg, is right there) and Piazza del Conservatorio (mostly because it’s full of benches to rest and if you’re lucky you get to hear the music students rehearsing as a soundtrack).
Going down from Porta Nuova towards the river you’ll find S. Salvario - the area is a bit rougher but it’s a lively quarter traditionally inhabited by students and immigrants: lots of interesting places to eat relatively cheaply, artisanal shops and a daily market in Piazza Madama.
The Valentino Park itself is huge but the nicest spots for a stroll are around Corso Marconi: there’s the (fake 😆) medieval village, the botanical garden and the Chateau that now houses the faculty of Architecture.
Hope you’ll have a lovely trip!
Yes indeed, we’re coming for the gpf! 😊 We’re staying very centrally so we’ll be close to all of those places and then go to the palavela area in the afternoons.
That all sounds so great, I think I’ll mark all of these awesome recommendations on a map and then we’ll see what feel up for.
Ahh now I’m even more hyped for this trip!!
Thank you so much once again for taking the time to share all this local knowledge with me, it’s so very helpful! 💟

Oh and by the way, the organization at the Palavela was horrible. There were dirty glass walls that blocked the view to the ice from the front rows. Extremely long lines before the toilets. Only one snack point open that had a really long line as well. No gift boxes to put presents for skaters in (although the website said there’d be some). None of the organizers seemed to know anything. Most of them didn’t speak English.
One day, the security people wouldn’t let people in to watch the Ladies’ practice session, even though we’d specifically paid for all event tickets. I missed half of Rika’s practice session because of their incompetence.
And does someone know what Italy has against bottle lids? They only allowed bottles without lids and some people ended up spilling their drinks and getting all of their things wet because of it. What did they think we were going to do if we were allowed to keep the lids on? Throw them at the skaters?
