🏟️ The Match: Italy v Estonia

A proper chance to watch the Azzurri in action as they host Estonia in a crucial World Cup qualifier. Italy’s national side doesn’t play in Bergamo often, so this is a rare opportunity to catch them at Gewiss Stadium — one of Serie A’s most atmospheric and compact grounds. Expect full voice, plenty of flags, and a very local feel to the crowd.

 

Estonia will be major underdogs, but that just means more of a party vibe around the city — and more freedom to just enjoy the football and soak in the atmosphere.

 

🌆 The City: Welcome to Bergamo

Often overshadowed by nearby Milan, Bergamo is one of Northern Italy’s hidden gems. The city is split into the Città Alta (Upper Town) and Città Bassa (Lower Town) — connected by funicular and packed with cobbled streets, medieval architecture, and stunning views over the Lombardy countryside.

 

Your Airbnb base in the West City Centre puts you in a brilliant spot: close to local cafes and pizzerias, and within easy tram or walk distance of both the stadium and Città Alta.

 

🍝 What to Eat & Drink

• Casoncelli alla Bergamasca – Local pasta stuffed with beef & pancetta

• Polenta e osei – A traditional sweet treat, especially popular around matchday

• Aperitivo – Head to Piazza Vecchia in the early evening for a spritz and snack combo

• Birrificio Indipendente Elav – A fantastic local brewery if you’re into your craft beers

 

🚆 Day Trips & Extras

If you’re in town for more than just the game:

• Milan is only an hour away by train – hit the Duomo, San Siro, or designer outlets

• Lake Iseo or Lake Como are both reachable for a chilled day out by the water

• Città Alta Funicular – Don’t miss the ride up for sunset and panoramic views

 

🎟️ Matchday Tips

• Gewiss Stadium is compact, so atmosphere can be intense — arrive early to soak it in

• Wear neutral colours unless you’re backing Italy — locals are passionate

• Plenty of food stalls and vendors line the approach to the ground
