How to Get There

Stadio Giuseppe Sinigaglia sits right on the lakefront on the edge of the centre of Como, a small and walkable city, so reaching the ground is one of the simplest and most scenic parts of a matchday. The stadium is only a few hundred metres from one of the main stations and a short walk from the centre and the lake, so most supporters arrive by train and walk along the water to the ground. Given the setting and the size of the city, driving is rarely the easiest option.

By Train

Como San Giovanni station sits only a few hundred metres from the ground, with direct trains from the central stations of Milan in around forty minutes to an hour, so the train is much the easiest way in for most visitors. Como also has the lakeside Como Lago station and Como Borghi, serving other parts of the city and the regional network, all within easy reach of the stadium. From San Giovanni it is a short walk down towards the lake to the ground, one of the most beautiful approaches to any stadium in the game.

On Foot and by the Lake

Because the ground sits on the lakefront a short walk from the centre of Como, walking is the natural way in for many, a stroll of around ten to fifteen minutes from the middle of the city along the water. The lakeside setting makes the walk to the ground a pleasure, past the grand villas and the promenade, with the mountains rising across the lake. For supporters staying in the centre, the ground is comfortably within reach on foot, and the walk is part of the appeal of a match here.

By Air and Car

Como has no airport of its own, so international visitors fly into one of the Milan airports, around an hour away, or into nearby Switzerland, and take the train on to Como, a short and scenic journey. Driving is possible on the motorway network from Milan and the north, but the centre of Como is compact and busy and parking near the lakefront ground is limited, so the train is far easier. Those arriving by car should park away from the centre and walk in to the stadium along the lake.

Getting Around on Matchday

The small size of Como, the station a few hundred metres from the ground and the short walk along the lake mean most supporters reach the stadium without any difficulty. The advice for visitors is to take the train from Milan and walk the last stretch by the water, rather than drive into the busy lakeside centre. Arrive in good time for a bigger match, as the streets and the lakefront near the ground get busy before kick-off, though the crowds are modest in such a small stadium.

Parking

Parking at Stadio Giuseppe Sinigaglia is limited and difficult, as the ground sits on the lakefront right by the busy centre of Como, where space is scarce and the lakeside setting leaves little room for car parks near the turnstiles. There is some parking in the city, but it fills up early, especially in a place as popular with visitors as Como, and the centre is busy on matchday. With Como San Giovanni station only a few hundred metres from the ground and direct trains from Milan, the vast majority of supporters find the train far easier than driving. Those who must drive should park on the edge of the city and walk in along the lake, allowing extra time given how busy central Como can be.

Seating Guide

Stadio Giuseppe Sinigaglia is a small, historic ground of four stands wrapped tightly around the pitch, with the lake on one side and the mountains beyond, a setting that makes it one of the most beautiful stadiums anywhere. The four sections are the Tribuna Coperta, the main covered stand, the Distinti along the lakeside, the Curva Como behind one goal, home to the most passionate support, and the Curva Monumento at the other end by the war memorial, which houses the away fans. The Curva Como is the heart of the atmosphere, and it is being rebuilt as part of the ground's redevelopment for European football.

The Curva Como

The Curva Como behind one goal is the home of the most passionate Como support, the source of the singing, the flags and the noise in the blue of the club, and even in such a small ground it drives a real atmosphere on the big occasions. This is the section to target for the fullest matchday experience, packed and fervent, loudest of all now that Como have risen to Serie A and Europe. The curva is being rebuilt in the redevelopment to meet the standards of European football, so check the current arrangements when you book, as the available sections can change during the works.

The Tribuna and Distinti

The Tribuna Coperta, the main covered stand, holds the premium and central seating and the best balanced view across the pitch, with the lake and the mountains as a backdrop, so its central rows are the pick for comfort and a clear view of the play. The Distinti stand runs along the lakeside and gives a fine open view of the ground and its setting, while the seats behind the goals in the curves tend to be the better value. In such a small, tight ground every seat is close to the action, so the choice is more about atmosphere, price and the view of the lake than any question of a poor sightline.

Away Fans and Accessibility

Away supporters are housed in the Curva Monumento at one end of the ground, by the war memorial, a designated section with an allocation that varies by fixture and is larger for a well-supported visiting club. The ground has accessible provision, with positions for wheelchair users and step-free access to the relevant areas, improved by the redevelopment, though as a small historic stadium in the middle of building works some arrangements may change, so supporters with access requirements should contact the club before the match. The table below matches a section to what you want from the day.

Weather and Roof Coverage

Como sits at the foot of the Alps on its lake, with warm summers and cool, often wet winters, and the mountains and the water can bring sudden changes in the weather, so conditions at the ground vary through a Serie A season. The Tribuna Coperta is covered, but much of the rest of the ground is open to the sky, so a good part of the crowd sits uncovered, exposed to the sun in the warmer months and the rain in the colder ones. For a summer fixture bring sun protection, while for an autumn or winter match a warm and waterproof layer is wise, as the lakeside setting can be damp and cool. Check the forecast and dress for an open ground by the water.

Bag Policy

Like other Italian grounds, Stadio Giuseppe Sinigaglia runs a firm bag policy with searches on entry, so the sensible approach is to travel light. Large bags and rucksacks are best left at your accommodation, since oversized bags are refused and there is no guarantee of a bag store, with only small bags admitted subject to search. Standard prohibited items apply, including bottles, cans, outside alcohol, pyrotechnics and flares, and any object judged dangerous. Italian matches also require the ticket to match the name of the holder for many fixtures, so bring photo identification, check the club's matchday guidance before you travel, and arrive early to clear the search, especially for the visit of a big club or a European night.

Food, Drink and Bars

Como is one of the most beautiful and popular small cities in Italy, a lakeside resort with a lovely historic centre, so the matchday experience is wrapped up with the pleasures of the town and the water. The bars, cafes and restaurants of the centre and the lakefront are all within a short walk of the ground.

Matchday Bars near the Ground

The lakefront and the streets of central Como, all close to the stadium, are full of bars and cafes that fill with supporters and visitors before a match, a lively and cosmopolitan scene in one of Italy's most fashionable towns. Because the ground is so central and the setting so beautiful, the pre-match hours by the lake are a genuine pleasure, and it is easy to combine a drink on the waterfront with the short walk to the ground. As always, some bars draw the home support, so away fans should ask before settling in.

The Lakefront and Como Food

The centre of Como and its lakefront offer a wonderful choice of restaurants, cafes and gelaterie, from lakeside terraces with a view of the water and the mountains to the classic trattorie of the old town, serving the food of Lombardy and the lake, including the freshwater fish of Lake Como. The town is a fashionable and international place, popular with visitors from around the world, so the choice is broad and the setting hard to beat. A matchday here is as much about the lake and the town as the football.

Food Inside the Ground

Inside the ground the concourses serve the traditional Italian matchday fare of snacks, panini and drinks, and the redevelopment is adding modern food and drink outlets to the rebuilt stand. The real draw, though, is the lakefront of Como itself, so for a proper meal eat in the town before or after the match, and use the concourses for a quick bite in the classic football manner.

Entry Process and Gate Times

Como use modern ticketing, so for most fixtures the ticket is issued digitally or as a named ticket and scanned at the turnstile, and Italian rules mean the name on the ticket must often match the holder, so bring photo identification. Load the ticket, charge your phone and have your documents ready before you reach the turnstile. Gates open ahead of kick-off to let the crowd filter in, and with a bag search and identity checks the turnstiles get busy in the last half hour, particularly for the visit of a big club or a European night. Aim to be at the ground in good time rather than joining the final rush, and note that the redevelopment may affect the entrances and sections in use, so check the details with your ticket.

Getting Away After the Match

Leaving Stadio Giuseppe Sinigaglia is straightforward, as the lakeside setting keeps the station and the centre of Como within a short walk of the ground.

By Train and on Foot

Como San Giovanni station, only a few hundred metres from the ground, carries much of the crowd away after the match, with direct trains back to Milan and the region, while many supporters simply walk along the lake into the centre of the town. The station is busy immediately after the final whistle, so either move quickly with the first wave or take a gentle walk by the water to let the crowd clear. With the centre and the lakefront on the doorstep, getting away is one of the more pleasant parts of the trip.

By Car and the Lake

Drivers face congestion on the busy roads around central Como and the lakefront after the match, so patience helps, and leaving a little after the crowd can save time in a town that is popular with visitors. Those parked on the edge of the city will find the walk back along the lake quicker than sitting in the traffic near the centre. In summer, the lake boats offer another scenic way to move around the town, though not directly from the ground.

Rounding Off the Evening

The natural way to end a Como matchday is to stay by the lake, in one of the most beautiful settings in Italy, with the bars, restaurants and gelaterie of the centre and the waterfront all within a short walk of the ground. The simplest way to beat any post-match crowd is to let the immediate crush clear and take a stroll by the water before dinner. Win or lose, an evening on Lake Como after the match is a memorable end to a football trip.

Stadium History

Stadio Giuseppe Sinigaglia opened in 1927, built in the rationalist style that flourished in Como between the wars, and it was named after Giuseppe Sinigaglia, a champion rower from the city and a hero of the First World War who had won European titles on the lake. Set on the lakefront beside a war memorial and the elegant buildings of the era, the ground has long been admired as much for its setting and its architecture as for its football, one of the most beautiful and distinctive stadiums in the country. For most of its history it hosted a modest provincial club, far from the giants of the Italian game.

All of that changed with the transformation of Como 1907. Bought by new owners in 2019, the Djarum Group of the Hartono family, one of the wealthiest in Indonesia, the club rose from the lower leagues to Serie A in only a few years, and under the management of the former Arsenal, Barcelona and Chelsea midfielder Cesc Fabregas it became one of the most talked-about teams in Europe. In the 2025-26 season Como finished fourth in Serie A, the best league placement in the club's history, and qualified for the Champions League, a rise from the lower divisions to the elite of European football in the space of a few short years.

That rise has brought the giants of Serie A and the prospect of the giants of Europe to the little ground by the lake, and it has forced a redevelopment of the stadium to meet the standards of the modern game. The Sinigaglia has become one of the great stories of Italian football, a tiny, historic ground on one of the world's most beautiful lakes, suddenly home to a club with ambitions to match its setting. From 1927 to the modern day, the ground has kept its character while its club has been utterly transformed.

Memorable Matches

The stadium's history, verified by contemporary records, has entered its most remarkable chapter with the rise of Como 1907 under new ownership and Cesc Fabregas. The club's fourth-place finish in 2025-26, its best ever, and its qualification for the Champions League are the greatest achievements in its history, bringing the biggest clubs in Italy and Europe to the shores of the lake. The visits of the giants of Serie A, and the prospect of European nights, are the matches that now define the little ground, a stage transformed by one of the most striking rises in the recent history of the game.

Stadium Future

The future of Stadio Giuseppe Sinigaglia is being written now, as Como redevelop the ground to meet the demands of Serie A and European football while keeping its unique lakeside character. In 2026 the club began rebuilding the Curva Como, replacing the old metal stand with a modern concrete structure to satisfy the requirement for permanent seating set by the European governing body, with the work timed around the season and the club opening the campaign away from home to allow construction to continue. The redevelopment keeps the capacity intimate, at around twelve thousand, preserving the character of the ground rather than turning it into a giant bowl. Because the stadium did not meet the standards for European competition while the work was under way, there has been uncertainty over where Como would stage their Champions League home matches, with the possibility of playing some European games at a larger venue elsewhere until the upgraded ground is ready and approved. The long-term aim is a modernised Sinigaglia that can host the elite of European football on the shore of the lake, one of the most beautiful settings the game can offer.

Accessibility

Stadio Giuseppe Sinigaglia has accessible provision, with positions for wheelchair users and step-free access to the relevant areas, and the redevelopment of the ground is intended to improve the facilities further, though as a small historic stadium in the middle of building works some arrangements may change from match to match. Supporters requiring accessible seating should contact the club well before the match to confirm the available spaces, arrange any companion ticket and check the best route into the ground and the nearest entrance, especially during the works. With Como San Giovanni station only a few hundred metres away and the ground close to the centre and the lake, reaching the stadium is manageable, and it is worth confirming the current arrangements and allowing extra time on a busy matchday.

High-Demand Fixtures and Pricing

The fixtures that move Stadio Giuseppe Sinigaglia tickets fastest are the visits of the giants of Serie A and, now, the nights of European football. The visit of Juventus is a standout occasion, which you can follow on the Como vs Juventus tickets page, with the visitors' own listings on the Juventus tickets page. The visits of AS Roma and the champions-chasing Napoli are the other biggest draws, while the club's historic qualification for the Champions League tickets has brought the elite of Europe into Como's story. The full home programme sits on the Como FC tickets and Serie A tickets listings. With such a small ground and such high demand, the biggest matches sell out fast, and the redevelopment can limit the seats available. Secondary-market prices move with demand, so treat any figure as indicative rather than fixed and buy early for the visits of the giants and any European fixtures.

Tips for International Visitors

Stadio Giuseppe Sinigaglia offers international visitors one of the most beautiful football trips in the world, a historic little ground on the shore of Lake Como, home to one of the most talked-about clubs in Europe. Take the train from Milan, around forty minutes to an hour to Como San Giovanni, only a few hundred metres from the ground, or combine the match with a stay on the lake. Base yourself in the centre of Como or by the water, where the hotels, the restaurants and the lakefront are all within a short walk of the stadium, and remember that the lake and the town, one of the most glamorous in Italy, are a huge part of the appeal. A matchday here pairs the football with a setting few grounds in the world can match.

With Milan, the Swiss border and the whole of the lake close by, many supporters build a longer trip around the match. If you are lining up other fixtures, the football tickets hub, the wider football tournaments calendar and the venues tickets directory show what else is on. In and around Como, the boat trips on the lake, the villas and gardens of the shore, the funicular up to Brunate for the view, and the fashionable town itself all reward a matchday trip to one of the loveliest corners of Italy.
