Between May 10 and 14, 2022, Turin,
the capital of Italian Piedmont
, will host the musical event of the year: the Eurovision Song Contest.
The popular show continues to move masses and
boost tourism
wherever it is held.
This is confirmed by the online travel agency eDreams, which has detected
a 55% increase in European demand
to travel to the Italian city, compared to the week prior to the event.
Now, what can it cost to be a direct witness of this macro-event?
According to calculations made by Belvilla, a vacation home rental company, those eurofans who want to attend the
final gala
, the event on Saturday, will have to pay
an average of
1,131 euros
, although tickets are already offered at prices that reach 1,760 euros in the usual channels.
To calculate this figure, the costs of transport, accommodation, tickets, tourist visits and meals in Turin have been taken into account.
According to this analysis, to go to the festival it is
more profitable to travel by plane
: a total of 264 euros is what the trip from Madrid to Turin costs, 99 euros less than if it is done by train (363 euros).
Fans can pay another 10 euros to move around the city, the price of a ticket that can be used on all public transport in the city and is valid for 72 hours.
accommodation and tourism
The fact that the final takes place in Turin that weekend is also reflected in the price of accommodation: on average, visitors will have to pay
€1,074 for two nights.
If there is still some time left before the final at 21:00 or the next morning, fans can discover the city.
On average, admission to the 20 most popular sights in the Italian city costs around €6.85, and seven attractions can be visited for free.
transalpine
gastronomy
The vibrant Italian city has much to offer not only for the traveler, but also for the palate.
The average price for six meals is around €91.60 (including food and drink).
Prices range from three euros for a marinara pizza to 38 euros, an amount that some chefs charge for a traditional
orecchia di elephant
, a typical dish of breaded cutlet and vegetables.
In total, fans can enjoy the festival and the city
over the weekend for 2,577 euros
if they travel by plane or 2,676 euros if they travel by train.
What if they wanted to stay the whole week to witness all the performances?
the nine galas
Well, for seven nights in a hotel or vacation home, the average is 2,622 euros.
Keep in mind that most of the money is spent on visits to
all the official galas
of the festival for which you get to pay an average of
6,069 euros per ticket
.
Hence, in total, the price for a full week of travel to attend the European event of the song can reach
9,255 euros
if you travel by plane.
Given that Spain is among the favorites in the Festival's bets with its song
Slomo
performed by the Catalan artist Chanel, and after a tight selection process, there is great expectation for this edition.
So much so that, according to data from eDreams,
Spanish
fans are
the foreigners most interested
in traveling to Turin.
In this sense, Spain is the country with the most searches for flights to the Piedmontese city on the days of the meeting, only
behind Italy itself
, the organizing country.
The national tourists are followed by the English, the Germans, the French and the Danes, and the list of Eurofans is closed by the Dutch, the Irish, the Portuguese and the Norwegians.
