Peschiera del Garda Travel Forum

Could anyone please inform me of the cost of a train ticket from Bergamo to Peschiera del Garda. I am visiting in July with my family. Adult and Childrens tickets.

Or you could anyone advise me on the best way of travel.

Many thanks
Arthur

The Bergamo Orio al Serio to Garda Lake is a matter that often pops up in the forums.

the problem is that there is an easy connection to Bergamo itself, but Bergamo IS NOT along the main train line Milan-Venice that has 2 stops on the southern side of the lake (Desenzano del Garda and Peschiera del Garda).

So, going to Bergamo first (that may seems simple) need you to take a train to Brescia, and from there another one towards Venice to the lake, with a good chance, if you are not close to the 2 stations (the lake is very long) that you need a bus ride too (see my Torridel benaco Transportation Tip "Public transports to the lake from Verona" http://members.virtualtourist.com/m/4c02d/228a3/9/
If so, better take a bus to Brescia instead.
Prices are low (maybe less than 20 euro total, but the jorney becomes very long.

The best way, if you are going to a hotel or accomodation place taking part of the "Lago di Garda è…" Consortium would be a direct shuttle from airport to the hotel! 1 leg instead of 3 or 4!.
See my "Low cost Bus trasfer from airport to hotels, etc." tip on the mentioned page. They do mainly the Verona and Brescia airports, but claim to go to bergamo, too. I don't have any direct info on that service, so any feedback would be appreciated.
