This grand building, built just after the Risorgimento and originally designed to be a synagogue (but it never was), rises high above most of the buildings in Turin. Nowadays, it houses the amazing National Museum of Cinema. You can go up to the top of the dome and contemplate the marvelous view that open - the whole city of Turin, its surrounding area and the Alps. You can use the lift or you can go on foot, climbing the stairs (not recommended though for obvious reasons) and you will need a ticket which can be combined with a visit to the cinema and you will save some euros. Although it was Christmas time, the line was not big but the roof was quite packed and we had to be patient to get the best photo-shoot spots.

The most iconic building in the Northern Italian city of Turin, the Mole Antonelliana was originally envisioned as a synagogue but has somehow wound up being a striking piece of the Torino skyline and rather unusually home to the museum of cinema, though that's a story for another review.
Aside from its eye-catching, sky-scraping height, the Mole offers the ability to take a lift up to a viewing platform, offering a 360 degree panorama view of the city. Truth be told the elevator, which goes up the centre of the building in a transparent shaft, can be quite daunting, but once up there it is definitely worth it for the view.
Ticket for both the elevator and the museum can be bought in conjunction for around €15 or separately, but I'd advise going for the joint.
I don't think you can visit Turin and not go see the Mole, and for the fairly small cost I'd say it's definitely worth going to see. Not an "oh my god, rush there!" type of event but worth seeing. Also worth noting that if you are there on a week day you should go then as opposed to weekend to beat queues.

We did both parts to this. First up the glass lift to the viewing deck where you can go out and walk around and get 360' views over the city and then work your around and up through the cinema museum. Depending on when you visit the theme of cinema changes? The experience is worth it alone.

So disappointed with this attraction . First they would not let us in with our blue/white masks so we had to go to the one store across from the line to buy an N95 mask . Then once inside, NO ONE gave a hoot if anyone was wearing a mask or not. You have to buy a ticket to museum and then a ticket for the elevator to the top. They cram people in the elevator and again , no one enforces wearing a mask . Granted the view was nice at the top BUT we got a much better view from other high points in this city , for free . Then you once again cram into the little elevator and it takes you all the way down. Here’s the worse … you have to walk and wind your way UP to see any exhibits and finally when you’ve had enough , you find some unmarked door that leads to an unmarked staircase to walk all the way to the lobby again . Unless you are really into old movie stuff, don’t waste your money and time . Never been more disappointed with a tourist attraction on any country.

The glass elevator is quite an experience! Taking you straight up the middle of the tower, not for the feint hearted. Amazing views from the top. The film museum is really interesting, don’t be put off by the fact that it goes up a few floors, the detailed stuff is on the lower floors.
Really interesting stairs down too.
Overall a fabulous building, worth reading up on its history too

What a gem! This attraction is underrated for its national cinema museum and overrated for the panoramic view. Go for the guided tour about photography and cinema (it is also part of the Turin+Piedmont card), which is superb! For the panoramic view of Turin, trust a tried&tested experience, go to Palazzo Madama instead! :) Admiring the Mole from the outside from every bit of the city remains a memorable experience to cherish :).
ps. the inside is also featured on the Italian TV series NOI (Season 1)

The Mole Antonelliana is a stunning structure in the heart of the city. The building takes its name from its creator Alessandro Antonelli. Construction of the building began in 1863 shortly after the unification of Italy. Completion was in 1889 after the death of Alessandro Antonelli. Initially the building was designed to be a synagogue and is now home to the National Museum of Cinema. It was somewhere that I have always wanted to see and I wasn't disappointed, I visited in July 2020 so I was unable to go inside due to Covid restrictions but at least I was able to get close enough to appreciate the immensity of the place.

Pretty much impossible to miss. The Mole Antonelliana (construction completed in 1889) is now the National Museum of Cinema (tallest museum in the world). If you plan to visit inside be prepared - there is always a line, any day, and time, all year round. Try to get there when it opens in the morning. It’s Turin’s equivalent to the Eiffel Tower for photo ops and they can be captured from many angles all across the city.

The Mole Antonelliana, symbol of Turin, is a truly strange building. A Temple built at the top of its roof is just one of the features that make it special.
Take the elevator, hanging from only a few cables, through the inside of the Dome and you will have memorabile views from the roof top.
Not so good for people suffering from vertigo.

Visited in a Thursday afternoon, in January and there was no queue at all. The building is outstanding, easy to see and recognize from far. The elevator goes up to 85 meters high where is a platform offering amazing views over Torino. The national cinema museum is housed inside as well as a souvenir shop and a coffee shop.

Da quanto scritto, e tutto poco chiaro. C'è differenza tra l'ingresso al Museo del Cinema e l'osservazione della città dalla Mole ? Stesso biglieto ? Non è chiaro nemmeno se pagando in anticipo online si debba fare comunque una lunga fila.... E poi com'è la storia delle vertigini ? Non c'è un parapetto alto ? È vero che chi soffre di vertigini è bene non s
alga ?

Il biglietto può essere pagato online per la coda non saprei, noi non ne abbiamo fatta, ma all'orario di apertura eravamo già sul posto, e poi era un giorno infrasettimanale.
Si può fare solo il museo del cinema, o l'ascensore o entrambi i biglietto può essere diviso.
Vertigini se una persona ne soffre in maniera importante meglio non salire in ascensore, sopra comunque c'è un bel parapetto.
Buongiorno vi prego aiutatemi!!
Devo visitare Torino a breve e ho visto su internet che con la Torino+Piemonte card di 1 giorno è possibile entrare in massimo 3 posti al giorno.
Volevo sapere se con la card di 2 giorni era possibile effettuare più di 3 ingressi al giorno e se con l'acquisto di tale card era possibile preordinare i biglietti d'ingresso per i vari musei online così da evitare eventuali code alle biglietterie.
Inoltre volevo sapere se per studenti universitari erano previsti sconti con l'acquisto di tale card oppure risolterebbe sconveniente farla dato che ci sono già molti sconti per gli ingressi per gli studenti
Attendo al più presto vostre notizie grazie e buona giornata

Ciao, non so come aiutarti. Nel centro storico puoi trovare i centri informativi turistici (uno è davanti alla stazione di porta nuova e l’altro è proprio sotto il palazzo della regione). Io non ho usato card etc ma per i musei ho prenotato su internet: peril museo egizio era obbligatorio per la mole, no. Ti fanno scegliere l’orario , ti presenti all’orario e ti fanno entrare. Io non ho mai fatto coda
Can I go only to the top of Mole Atonelliana? with ?out going in side museum

Buonasera. Ho consultato il sito internet per i biglietti online, ma ho visto che per le date in cui sono a Torino (almeno la salita sulla cupola a piedi + visita guidata) i posti sono esauriti. Se ci andiamo di persona, trovo sempre esaurito? O c’è la possibilità di fare comunque il biglietto? Grazie a chi risponderà.

Si sale comunque ma c'è da fare la fila che può essere più o meno corposa e dipende dal periodo. Noi abbiamo fatto 3 ore di fila ma era il 31 dicembre

L'orario di prenotazione del ticket "museo del cinema+ ascensore" fa riferimento solo all'accesso all'ascensore, per cui è possibile visitare il museo anche prima?

Scusa mi per mio Italiano ma spero che tu capisi.
Ci sono due possibilita - unica biglieta per museo e anche unica biglieta per tetto di Mole, ma ottima soluzione è combinata biglieta.
Non sbagliare la vista dal tetto e non spendere di più per ascensore non in attesa. Se l'ascensore è occupato, vai a vedere il museo e più tardi puoi andare sul tetto
Vorrei raccomandare un ristorante Bella Vista, vicino Superga ( non vicino ma direzione direzione è quella )

Il problema a mio avviso non è tanto fare il biglietto che si fa in fretta ...è la salita in ascensore che crea la fila..salgono solo 8 persone x volta ...e ci vuole tempo

ho letto sul sito che l'ascensore per la cupola si puo prendere dai 6 anni in poi (non possono salire i bambini di età inferiore ai 6 anni)...vi risulta? vi risulta? esperienze recenti?

Non mi ricordo di divieti di questo tipo...Però forse non ci ho fatto caso. Comunque è un ascensore normale mi sembra strano che sia vietato
