I can still feel the rush of adrenaline bubbling in my chest when I stepped into the roaring belly of the San Siro for the first time.
City is a major attraction.
Gone are the days when the city in Lombardy was little more than a stop that only a true calcio aficionado would visit en route to Milan or Turin.
Italy's culinary reputation can make it difficult to know where to begin when trying to choose between Bologna and Bari or pizza and pasta.
There's always a cracking atmosphere at the home of Atalanta and here is where to find the buzz around the ground as well.
Tables spill out onto the cobbles in good weather, giving you a front-row seat to daily life in Città Alta.

Giuliana closes her restaurant on Sundays to make sure she can watch Atalanta play. However during the rest of the week she manages what is a famous Bergamo institution! 🍝
This restaurant is adored by locals and famous names in football, like former Atalanta coach Gian Piero Gasperini. The decor is draped in the blue and black of Atalanta and the food is exquisite.
If you’re planning a trip to Bergamo, you have to pop in, say hello to Giuliana and enjoy the set menu for just €25. This price includes three courses, wine and coffee. 😍
Visit Trattoria da Giuliana! Just not on a Sunday. Sundays are for calcio.
