OPERATIONAL MAP

Stadium accessGewiss Stadium

GETTING TO THE GROUND

Gewiss Stadium is accessible via a free shuttle bus from central Bergamo (Piazza degli Alpini) or the dedicated away fan parking at Via Spino. ATB Bus Line 9 also serves the stadium area.

Warning: The stadium area is restricted to public transport 2 hours before and 1 hour after matches. Do not attempt to drive directly to the stadium perimeter.

Away supporters enter via Piazzale Goisis into the south-west section. Entry requires a valid ticket and a matching photo ID (Passport highly recommended).

PROHIBITED ITEMS

  • Phone chargers
  • Bags larger than A4
  • Pyrotechnics
  • Professional cameras
  • Unauthorized banners

CRITICAL

100% ID Checks are mandatory. Phone chargers are prohibited inside the stadium. Bags larger than A4 are not allowed. Expect a post-match hold-back of up to 60 minutes.

Exit routes & evacuation

Shuttle buses will return fans directly to the city center or the Via Spino parking lot after the hold-back period.

Exit via the main visitor gates towards the shuttle bus collection point. Announcements will be made in English via the PA system.
