Atalanta are one of the most modern-thinking clubs in the Italian game.

And the Stadio Atleti Azzurri d’Italia, now known as the Gewiss Stadium for commercial reasons, is one of the best arenas in the country.

Atalanta bought the stadium from the Bergamo council in 2017 for around €8.6m (£7.3m), becoming one of just four teams in the Italian top flight to own their ground along with Juventus, Udinese and Sassuolo.

The Curva Nord was first demolished and rebuilt in late 2019. The Covid-19 pandemic hindered the next stage in the renovation, however in the spring of 2024 they began work on giving the same treatment to the Curva Sud.

The new capacity is around 24,000 with refurbished facilities in and around the stadium.

How to get to the Gewiss Stadium

From Bergamo train station

The stadium can be reached from the train station by taking the ATB line 9 bus, which goes directly to the stadium. This is the only method to arrive at the stadium on matchdays, as the roads around the Gewiss are closed.

By car

While on the A4 highway, exit “Bergamo”: take the ring road in the direction of “Valli di Bergamo”. In the roundabout go on following the road sign “Stadio” and take Viale “Giulio Cesare”.

From Bergamo airport

The airport is connected to the city centre by the “Airport Bus” public services. As soon as you’ve reached the bus station, it is easy to reach the Stadium by the ATB bus line 9.

Walking from the city centre

With Bergamo being a small city, it takes around 30 minutes to walk to the Gewiss Stadium from the train station. If in the city centre, it takes around the same length of time to reach the arena.

How to buy tickets for Bergamo’s public transport 

Tickets to use Bergamo’s public transport system can be bought either in person or through the ATB app using a card. 

Tickets can also be bought on public buses, but cash is needed. Tickets can also be bought in various outlets around Bergamo, including bars, tobacco shops and newsagents.

Tickets for a single bus journey in the city of Bergamo cost around €3.10 (£2.50), and is valid for 60 minutes. However it might be wiser to buy a 24-hour or 48-hour pass, available on the ATB app, which offer better value for money.
