Holiplanet’s Bergamo guide

Make the most of your time in Bergamo

Bergamo is two cities in one: Città Alta, the walled upper town on its hill, and Città Bassa below, with its arcades, theatres and shopping streets. A two-minute funicular ride links them. Give the upper town an unhurried morning, keep the evening for the lower town and save time for the hills of San Vigilio. This guide brings together landmarks, local food and practical details for a short visit or a longer stay.

Arrive well · Explore locally

Getting Here & Getting Around

Bergamo has its own airport a few kilometres from the centre and direct trains to Milan. Once here, the lower town is walkable, and two funiculars climb to Città Alta and San Vigilio.

01 · Travel essentials

Getting here

From Bergamo airport (BGY): ATB’s Airport Bus runs daily, about every 20 minutes, to Bergamo railway station and on towards Città Alta. The trip uses ATB’s three-zone fare (C); buy the ticket before boarding from the ATB Mobile app or a ticket machine, and validate it.

From Milan: Trenord runs direct regional trains from Milano Centrale to Bergamo in about 48 minutes, roughly every hour. From Malpensa or Linate, travel into Milan first and continue by train. For late flights, check the final connection for your date or arrange a pickup.

02 · Travel essentials

Getting around

Città Bassa is easy on foot, from the station along Viale Papa Giovanni XXIII to the Sentierone. The city funicular climbs 85 metres from Viale Vittorio Emanuele II to Città Alta; a second funicular continues from Colle Aperto to San Vigilio. ATB buses, including line 1, serve the station and the upper town.

ATB’s 24-hour and 72-hour tourist tickets are valid on the whole ATB network from validation, luggage included. The TEB tram runs from the station area into Val Seriana. Check the timetable for your day: frequencies drop in the evening and on public holidays.

03 · Travel essentials

Taxis and transfers

A taxi is useful for luggage, accommodation in Città Alta or on the hills, and arrivals after the last bus. Ask your accommodation to arrange a licensed pickup, or use the taxi ranks at the station and airport. Give the full address and check the fare basis and payment method before departure.

For a private transfer from Malpensa or Linate, request a written quote stating the airport, terminal, arrival time, passenger count and luggage. Inside Città Alta, cars face limited-traffic rules; your driver may need to stop at a gate or car park.

Day trips · beyond the city

Lakes, valleys and a model village

Bergamo sits between the Alpine valleys and the plain, with Lake Iseo and the Franciacorta vineyards to the east. Choose one destination per day and plan the return journey before you set out.

Check the way back first

Most day trips combine a bus or train with a short walk. Check the last return service before leaving, and allow extra time on Sundays and public holidays, when frequencies drop. For Lake Iseo, combined bus-and-ferry tickets are available.

Plan ahead · seasons & practical tips

When to go and what to know

Bergamo works all year: the upper town for walking, the galleries and theatres for colder months, the lakes and valleys in the warm season.

SpringMarch – May

Mild days for the walls, the Via dei Vasi and the hills of San Vigilio, with the parks and gardens coming into bloom.

SummerJune – August

Long evenings in the squares of Città Alta and the best season for Lake Iseo. Midday can be hot on the plain: walk early and late.

AutumnSeptember – November

The opera season opens, and the Donizetti Opera festival runs from 13 to 29 November 2026. A good time for the vineyards.

WinterDecember – February

Quieter streets, clear days with views of the Alps, and the city’s galleries and theatres in full season.

Driving: watch the ZTL

Città Alta and the hills become a limited-traffic zone on Sundays and public holidays from 10 am to midnight. Enter from Viale Vittorio Emanuele II and park within 30 minutes at the Fara, Tre Armi or Porta Sant’Alessandro car parks.

Comfortable shoes, some slopes

Città Bassa is flat; Città Alta is on a hill, with cobbles, steps and steep lanes. The funiculars avoid the climb; check ATB’s accessibility information before you go.

ZTL rules from VisitBergamo and festival dates from the Teatro Donizetti, checked 17 October 2026.

Shopping & local flavours

Bring home a taste of Bergamo

Bergamo’s best souvenirs are edible. Look for local cheeses, wines and pastries, and ask where each product comes from. Three streets cover most of what visitors look for.

Rows of wine bottles in a Franciacorta cellar
Photo: Paola Capelletto · Unsplash License · source
Polenta e osei

A sponge cake covered in yellow marzipan to look like polenta, topped with little chocolate birds. Historic pastry shops in both halves of the city make it.

DOP cheeses

Taleggio, Strachítunt, Formai de Mut and other DOP cheeses come from the Bergamo valleys. Ask for vacuum packing if you are travelling far.

Valcalepio and Moscato di Scanzo

The hills around Bergamo produce Valcalepio wines and the sweet red Moscato di Scanzo; Franciacorta sparkling wine comes from just to the east.

Via XX Settembre

The main shopping street of Città Bassa, lined with fashion and everyday shops, runs from Largo Porta Nuova towards Borgo San Leonardo.

The Corsarola

Via Gombito and Via Colleoni, the main street of Città Alta, gather pastry shops, delis and small gift shops between Piazza Mercato delle Scarpe and Colle Aperto.

Borgo Santa Caterina

A characterful neighbourhood street in the lower town, with independent shops, cafés and wine bars, a short walk from the Accademia Carrara.

Check opening hours before visiting; many independent shops close for a long lunch break and on Monday mornings.
