Bergamo is perhaps best known for its passionate association with football. Atalanta B.C., considered the pride of Bergamo, competes in Serie A, the top tier of Italian football. The team's home matches are played at the Gewiss Stadium. Volleyball also has a significant presence in Bergamo, with the professional women's club Volley Bergamo having a storied history in both domestic and European competitions. Basketball has its own following as well, with supporters regularly flocking to the PalaNorda or PalaAgnelli to cheer on their local teams.

Bergamo also regularly attracts athletes from other disciplines. The city's scenic roads and surrounding picturesque hills serve as an ideal backdrop for professional cycling events, drawing both competitors and spectators from around the world.

Adult ticket prices including fees for events in Bergamo start from as low as EUR €100 for basic tickets to EUR €535 for the most premium tickets; with the average starting ticket price at EUR €108. The price depends on a range of factors including the type of event, performers, venue, and ticket category.

Nestled at the foothills of the Alps in the Lombardy region, Bergamo is an Italian treasure that beckons travellers with its rich history and picturesque landscapes. The city is a perfect confluence of grandeur and intimacy, where cobbled streets and elegant architecture characterise its upper district, Città Alta, accessible via a charming funicular. This historic area, encircled by Venetian walls – a UNESCO World Heritage site – contrasts with the more modern Città Bassa below, connected by meandering pathways that promise delightful discoveries. From the artistic masterpieces in the Accademia Carrara to authentic Lombard cuisine, Bergamo invites visitors to immerse themselves in a genuine Italian experience.
