The arena is located in the Smart District of Bergamo, at Via Carlo Serassi, 26, just 2.5 km from the historic center.

How to Get to Bergamo

By Plane: Bergamo’s airport is Milan Bergamo Airport, just 6 km from ChorusLife Arena. It receives flights from various European cities, including budget airlines like Ryanair.

By Train: There are frequent connections from Milan Central Station. From Bergamo’s train station, it’s only 2 km to the arena.

By Bus: Bergamo’s bus station is next to the train station, also just 2 km from the venue.

How to Get to ChorusLife Arena

On Foot: The walk is comfortable from the historic center near the station, but might be tiring from the Città Alta (Upper Town).

By Public Transport: Take Tram Line 1 and get off at the Bergamo Bianzana stop, located right in front of one of the complex’s entrances.

By car: The arena has paid parking. The rates are €1.80/hour (up to 3 hours); €2.50/hour (from the 4th hour); €30 daily rate (24h) (prices as of April 2025).

Important note: As of this article’s update, there was no public transportation available to return to the center after shows ending later than 10:30 PM. Plan accordingly and check Bergamo’s official public transport website. It’s possible that in the future, transportation serving the area may be available on event days.

When we attended Sam Fender’s show at ChorusLife Arena in March 2025, the concert ended after 11 PM, and we walked from the arena to our hotel near the station. Other people were also walking in the same direction, and it felt quite safe.

ChorusLife Arena Structure: Sections, Sound Quality, and Visibility

ChorusLife Arena Bergamo has a capacity of 6,500 people and is accessible for people with disabilities.

IMPORTANT! Bring your photo ID and have it ready at the entrance. Tickets are nominal, and IDs are checked at the event entrance. If you’re a foreigner, don’t forget to bring your passport.

ChorusLife Arena Seating Sections

Standing Area: Small with excellent visibility. The stage is large, providing an extensive area for fans who prefer to be in the front rows.

Lower & Upper Tribune: Numbered seating with excellent visibility and proximity to the stage. The height difference between stand levels ensures that people don’t block each other’s view. The first row of stands is typically unused on concert days because the seats are at the same height as the barrier dividing the standing area.

Mezzanine: The area with bars and restrooms, located between the lower and upper stands. It has some spaces for those who want to watch shows standing up and for people with reduced mobility who use wheelchairs. The division is made with glass, offering safety and visibility.

Accessibility at ChorusLife Arena for People with Disabilities

ChorusLife Arena has reserved spaces for people with disabilities, including those who need continuous assistance and have mobility restrictions, as well as for their companions.

However, these spaces are limited and positioned in reserved areas. Send an email to the arena in advance to request support.

Sound Quality and Visibility

The acoustics are excellent, and the best seats are in the stands facing the stage. However, the sides also offer good sound quality.

We attended Sam Fender’s show, seated in the side stands, and it was an excellent experience.

Restrooms, Bars, and Food

Restrooms: Clean, new, and modern, with easy access before and after the show, even when the venue is at full capacity.

Bars: Good options for eating inside the arena, with sandwiches and snacks, as well as drinks.

Food Options: Outside the arena, within the ChorusLife complex itself, there are restaurants open until 10:30 PM and also a bar open until midnight.

💡 Tip: Arrive two hours before the show to have dinner at your leisure. After the show, it will be more difficult to find something to eat.
