Shopping centre inside the converted Lingotto building, close to Lingotto metro station and Eataly.
8 Gallery Lingotto is a shopping centre at Via Nizza 262 in the Lingotto district of Turin, Piedmont, Italy, housed within the former Fiat factory complex that has been converted into a mixed-use building. It differs from the city's historic arcades and markets by offering a conventional modern mall experience in a landmark industrial setting, with the building's ramps and architecture providing a distinctive backdrop. The centre is close to Lingotto metro station and the Eataly food emporium, making it easy to reach without a car.
The brand mix is dominated by high-street and mid-range fashion, shoes and accessories, together with electronics, homeware and a supermarket, and a cinema supplies evening entertainment. As in most Italian shopping centres, the stores are national and international chains rather than local artisans, so visitors seeking handmade Piedmontese goods are better served elsewhere in Turin; the authentic local element comes mainly from nearby Eataly and the surrounding Lingotto buildings. Prices are fixed and there is no bargaining. Cards are accepted throughout. Non-EU visitors may be eligible for VAT refunds on qualifying purchases above the national threshold, provided the shop participates in the tax-free scheme and the paperwork is validated at the airport, so the receipt and passport should be requested at purchase.
Eating options include the centre's own food court and cafes, as well as the restaurants and food counters of Eataly a short walk away. The atmosphere is relaxed on weekdays and busy at weekends and during sales periods. Reported hours are daily from about 10AM to 9PM, and visitors should confirm current times, including Sunday and holiday opening, on the centre's official website. The centre suits a rainy-day visit, a combined trip with the Lingotto sights, or practical shopping for clothing and electronics.
