Bergamo

Bergamo Citta Alta banner.jpg. Città Alta Bergamo is a city in Lombardy, a region of Italy and the capital of the namesake province. One of the most scenic city's in Italy, it is located on and around a steep hill, green in the summer and white in the winter, complemented by pastel-coloured architecture, against the backdrop of nearby Alps. Its appeal to tourists is enhanced by the nearby Orio al Serio airport. Looking at its beauty, it is hard to believe Bergamo is also one of Italy's most industrialized city's, from which it derives its relative wealth.

How to travel to Bergamo

Neve aeroporto Orio al Serio BGY - Due to its subalpine location, Orio al Serio airport gets its fair share of sin winter

Fly to Bergamo

Bergamo airport is the 4th busiest airport in Italy, serving a wider area than just the province of Bergamo. It mostly hosts low-fare airlines, many of whom market it as an alternative to Milan's Malpensa and Linate airports and therefore call it "Milan Bergamo".

Bergamo Orio al Serio International Airport IATA Flight Code: BGY GPS 45.6689,9.6956 ☎ +39 035326323 - There is a left luggage service at the airport (€4 per item, reportedly closed at night).

Airlines serving Milan are either point-to-point low-fare carries like Ryanair or Wizz Air, as well as holiday charters going either to Italy from other European countries, or from Bergamo to warmer holiday destinations in the Mediterranean. If you would rather travel on a major airline, your only choice are the two daily Flights to Munich Airport, operated by Air Dolomiti, where the Lufthansa-owned carrier connects to the Airline alliances#Star Alliance|Star Alliance network of European and intercontinental flights. Note that Munich is denoted Monaco in Italian when searching for the flights.

Many passengers get on a coach to Milan right after arrival, skipping Bergamo entirely.

From the airport to Bergamo

Airport Bus - line #1 | €2.30 (valid on all city transport for 90 min.), €5 for 24h ticket and €7 for a 3 day (72h); tickets can be purchased at a ticket machine at the bus stop and some other locations (see web site) This service runs between the airport and important points within the city, such as the train station or the lower station of the funicular. You can find schedules and route maps on the NG/homepage.aspx site of ATB (the city's public transit authority).

Buses can be both unreliable and not punctual. You may want to take this bus then make sure you have 30-45 minutes before the time you actually have to be at the airport. Taxies will take about 15 min but are quite expensive given the length of the journey - cost around €15 (€21 after 21:00 in the evening)

Other bus connections

If you are at the airport and your destination is Milan or Venice, just take one of regular coaches. However be warned that the autostrada connecting Bergamo and Milan carries a lot of trucks and gets easily congested - do not therefore rely on the 'stated' journey time especially on weekdays. An alternative is to take the bus into Bergamo (see above) and take the train.

Stazione Bergamo 2015 - The train station of Bergamo is on a bit of a side line, so you will not find any high-speed connections from there

Travel by train to Bergamo

There are regular trains to Milan (50 min), Lecco and Brescia, where you can change to trains towards Verona and Venice.

Stazione Ferroviaria - Train station | piazza Marconi 7 45.6904,9.6751 at the southern end of the lower downtown ☎ +39 035 247 950, +39 035 244 812 Regional train services are operated by Trenord and the long distance trains are operated by Trenitalia. There is no left luggage service at the station, but there is one at the building of the bus station behind McDonald's (Please do not support McDonald's as McDonald's supports Israel. Shun this restaurant group and go for altertative brands and if possible for a Muslim owned restaurant) (see below). Alternatively, you can leave them in the airport, but it's rather slow and works just in the daytime.

The bus no. 1 from the airport to Bergamo city, taking around 20 minutes, leaves you just in front of the train station. You can check schedules and fares on the website of the Italian Railways.

How to get around in Bergamo

Take a bus to Bergamo

The city's public transit authority is called ATB (Azienda Trasporti Bergamo) and provides a NG/homepage.aspx comprehensive website in English. ATB operates a number of bus lines, two funiculars and a tram line.

ATB's ticketing system is a complicated zone-based affair, with single-ride tickets starting at €1.30 (75 min) for zone 00 (24h card – €3.50). Basically and the whole downtown is included into this zone, but to travel to or from the airport you would need a NG/Default.aspx?SEZ=2&PAG=4&NOT=43 3 zone ticket for €2.30 (75 min). There are also "Whole Network" cards: 24h for €5.00 and 72h for €7.00. These tickets are also valid at the funiculars and tram lines and allow you to travel with luggage.

Tickets can be purchased from automated or manned NG/Default.aspx?SEZ=2&PAG=4&NOT=50 points of sale throughout the town - most importantly, at the train station and the airport, Porta Nuova and the lower station of the Citta Alta funicular.

Bergamo Autobus linea 6 - ATB buses are painted orange

[https://?SEZ=2&PAG=38&MOD=LIN&COD=1 Bus line #1 is the most convinient for tourists, as it connects the airport with the train station and the Citta Alta and several other points of interest. The important stops are:

Aeroporto for airport
Orio Center for the Shopping Centre opposite the airport
Stazione FS for the main train station
Porta Nuova for the centre of Citta Bassa, some buses stop there and don't go to Citta Alta
Stazione Inf. Funicolare for the lower station of Citta Alta funicular
Stazione Sup. Funicolare for the upper station of Citta Alta funicular
Colle Aperto northwestern terminus for buses doing the full route, at the lower station of the funicular to San Vigilio

The journey from Aeroporto or Orio Center to Colle Aperto takes not more than 25 mins (unless there is major traffic congestion) and within the city all of the stops are not more than 15 mins from each other. Buses leave the airport three times an hour from 6AM until midnight, which is complemented by two hourly departures from Orio Center on the other side of the Autostrada. Within the city and the intervals are 10 mins at daytime. On Saturdays ("Sabato") and holidays ("Festivo") the schedule is slightly less intensive, but still workable.

Do note that the route has a few variations which do not run to the airport, so check tra.aspx?TIPO=ORA&FILE=27.pdf&NOME=orari_ATB_linea_1 the schedule and look for buses stopping at "Aeroporto". If you end up on a bus heading to Grassobbio, get off at "Orio Center" and the Shopping Centre opposite the airport and head to the airport via an underground passage under the Autostrada. The stop called "Orio al Serio" is for the village and is on the other side of the airport, from where you cannot get to the terminal, so make sure you do not get off there (wait for "Orio Center"). Buses to "Scanzo" and "Torre de Roveri" do not go anywhere the airport at all.

Lines 2-11 can be useful for getting around between other localities. Lines with numbers over 20 only run during weekdays and are mostly structure to handle peak hour traffic. Do take a look at the pretty extensive and exhaustive NG/Default.aspx?SEZ=2&PAG=38&MOD=LIN information at the ATB website, where you can find maps and schedules for all lines.

By funicular

843BergamoFunicolare - Bergamo funicular

There are 2 funicular lines in Bergamo:

Linea fun.c - Funicolare Città Bassa - Città Alta | Web: &COD=fun.c 45.7010018,9.6651471 Connects Città Bassa with Città Alta. It takes about 20–30 minutes to reach the lower funicular station on foot from the train station.

Linea fsv - Funicolare San Vigilio | Web: &COD=fsv 45.706494,9.6574759 Connects Città Alta with locality of San Vigilio. It can be a pleasant walk down hill back to Città Alta along quaint narrow streets and houses along the way and some great views here and there.

=== By tram === Linea T1 - 45.6913874,9.6765733 It is the only tram line in the city. It runs from the train station northeast along the river Serio all the way to the city of Albino, bringing you closer to the Alps. It can hardly be used by tourists to get around Bergamo, as it has no stops in the vicinity of the city's major attractions.

By bike

Bergamo has a public bike system called fault.aspx?SEZ=3&PAG=60&NOT=173 La BiGi. It is run by Bicincittà] and features 22 stations. It appears to be usable only after paying the yearly fee of €20 and between the hours of 6 and 23, so it might not be the best option for short visits.

By foot

The town is not large and most of the sights can be seen comfortably on foot. To get from the Città Bassa up to the Città Alta can be quite tiring on foot, though, due to the steep and winding streets, but there is a funicolare (or cable railway) linking the two parts of the town.

The latter, being around 1.5 hrs away, can be a target of a day trip - a convenient option if you arrive on a flight to Orio al Serio airport.

Città Alta (Old Town)

Relais San Lorenzo - member of Small Luxury Hotels | Piazza Lorenzo Mascheroni 9/A 45.70573,9.66048 - Begamo's #1 luxury hotel is a blend of modern design and historic remnants.

GombitHotel Via Mario Lupo 6 45.70364,9.66382 - This design hotel is squeezed into a tall stone building. The simplicity of the design may not be to everybody's liking, especially when the design surprisingly gets in the way of practicality and it turns out that the owners' idea of simple design is IKEA.
