Beautifully situated on the shores of Lake Como, the Stadio Giuseppe Sinigaglia is home to Como 1907 football club.
Initially built in 1927 as a multipurpose complex with a running track, the stadium was aptly named after local rowing champion Giuseppe Sinigaglia, a World War One hero who won the single and double sculls European titles on Lake Como in 1911.
For eighty years, the stadium featured a running track, a design still seen at Rome’s Stadio Olimpico and at the Stadio Diego Armando Maradona in Naples. Over time, fans have been able to enjoy the English experience, viewing matches up close in the lakeside Distinti stand.
The Curva Como is home to the club’s most vocal supporters, and is located behind the goal on the western side. Away fans are housed in the Curva Monumento Ospiti. The Tribuna d’Onore is housed within the Tribuna Coperta, the Sinigaglia’s largest stand.
We recommend the Tribuna Coperta (a.k.a. Tribuna Centrale) for visitors who want to take in the all-encompassing atmosphere of the match, the chants of home and away supporters, and the view of the lake. Alternatively, you might like the Distinti Parterre stand, situated below the world-famous COMO typography.
Como 1907 Tickets
Now that Como 1907 have won promotion back to Serie A for the first time in 21 years, and with limited seats available in the smallest top-flight stadium in Italy, it’s best to buy tickets well in advance through Vivaticket or directly through the club’s official website.
How To Get To The Stadium
The Sinigaglia is located in western part of inner Como, no more than a ten to fifteen minute walk from the historic city centre. Fans can travel in various ways: taxi, bus, private vehicle, ferry and even by cable car!
We recommend using the Citymapper app when travelling from Milano.
By Train
Fans can arrive in Como at three different stations: Como Borghi is located on the outskirts. Como San Giovanni and Como Lago are much closer. Which station you arrive at depends on where you board the train – do your research.
Como San Giovanni station is situated closest to the stadium – no more than a few hundred metres – with trains arriving from Milano Centrale and Milano Garibaldi. Allow 40 minutes for the train ride and 10 minutes for the walk from San Giovanni station. Buy your train fare here: https://www.trenord.it/
Como Lago station is located on the eastern side of the city centre. Passengers will need to factor in a 15-20 minute walk to the Sinigaglia from Como Lago Station which is served by regional trains arriving from Milano Cadorna station (an hour-long trip).
From Malpensa Airport (trains and taxi)
From Malpensa, trains divert through Saronno and can take up to 80 minutes to get to Como Borghi station. From here, allow for a 10 minute taxi or 30 minute walk through the historic city centre.
Alternatively, Malpensa airport to Como by taxi will cost around €140, subject to your negotiation skills.
By Ferry (traghetto)
Ferries from Bellagio and many other neighbouring lakeside towns arrive at Como’s main ferry station, available for purchase through the Navigazione Laghi website or lakeside at each ferry stop.
There are two options from Bellagio, the normal ferry which take two hours to arrive at Como, or a one-hour journey on the fast ferry.
By Cable Car (funiculare)
Access Como from the mountain top town of Brunate via cable car. The Funiculare – as locals call it – stops on the eastern edge of Como city centre. Allow for up to 25 minutes for walking and photos as you take in the immaculate lakeside surroundings. Add an hour for Spritz and Formaggi.
By Bus (pullman)
Once you are in Como, take the 11, C30, C46 and C50 buses towards the Stadio Giuseppe Sinigaglia, followed by a three minute walk.
Arriving by bus from Milan: Flixbus 495 will take you from Malpensa to Como bus station.
Driving To Como
Heading to Como from Malpensa Airport, we advise using Google Maps or Waze for the best solution as live traffic updates can save time.
Normally, allow for 45 minutes driving time via Mozzate, Como 1907’s training complex.
From Milan, allow for an hour’s drive from Milan Linate Airport or Milan Central Train Station.
Arriving from Switzerland
The Swiss border is only four kilometres away from Como. The drive takes 45 minutes from Lugano when passing through Chiasso. Applications such as Google Maps and Waze are you best friends in this situation.
Parking Your Car for Free in Como
We recommend paying for secure parking or locating a free parking space on the streets but acquaint yourselves with Italy’s color codes. You can park on the blue line parking lots by paying an hourly fee (free usually at night). Yellow lines are reserved for Como residents, therefore you may incur a fine should you risk parking in those lots.
