There's A Giant Coffee Museum Now Open In Italy

One more reason to visit Europe!

Turismo Torino

Coffee addicts, we're found your next dream vacation. Lavazza, the fourth largest coffee company in the world, just opened a massive coffee museum in Turin, Italy, and it's a must-see for anyone obsessed with the good stuff.

When visitors first walk in, they get an espresso cup to carry through the museum. This can be used to activate installations and learn more about different parts of the museum (like those high-tech museum wands, but cooler). The space itself is separated into five rooms, each with a different theme. You'll learn more about coffee's history, how it's made, and the story behind Italy's top brand (it's been in business since 1895!). The museum houses antique and vintage espresso machines and features an immersive sensory-rich tour of how coffee goes from a bean to your morning cup of joe.


Obviously, there's no point of a coffee museum without some taste testing. Per Travel + Leisure, visitors can try one classic drink, like an espresso or drip coffee, and one specialty drink, like a coffee cocktail.

Open Wednesday to Sunday from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. (last admission is at 5:30), the Lavazza Museum is part of a bigger development project in Turin. Once you're done at the museum, you can stroll over to the two new adjacent restaurants, including the upscale Condividere by Lavazza for dinner.


Tickets to the museum are just 10€ ($11.62) for adults, and 8€ ($9.30) for anyone under the age of 26 or over 65. See ya there!
