IS IT POSSIBLE TO CATCH A TRAIN FROM BERGAMO AIRPORT TO CAVALASE?
IF SO WHAT TIMES AND HOW MUCH? THANKS

Good afternoon Could you answer this question
We are scheduled to stay in Bergamo Italy on September 1st and 2nd and leave on September 3rd
On September 2nd we would like to do a day trip to Lake Como
I understand the 3 main towns are Varenna, Menaggio and Bellagio and ferry boats travel between the town every hour
How would we get to one of these 3 towns from Bergamo
I understand there is a train to Varenna, but you have to change trains in Leco and if we left on the 9.15 train we would not arrive until after 11.00am
I was hoping there was a better way

Any suggestions for a triple room in Bergamo? One night. 3 young people waiting for an early flight next day. Close to airport but of course they also want to experience Citta Alta. B&B? Nothing fancy, just sleep and cheap

hey does anyone know how to get to the lake from bergamo?
many thanks

Does anyone know of the best way of getting from Bergamo airport into the centre of Bergamo (near the station - have a B&B booked) fairly late at night? We land at 22.20, which appears to be when the last bus goes, so won't make that. Have had quotes of €21-€25 so far, which seems a little excessive to travel less than 5km.
Thx!

Hi

Does anyone know what Bergamo will be like in early October, for example, will there be many tourists around, or have I picked an out-of-season time to visit when it will be totally deserted with nothing to do? Chloe

Hi

I'm a newbie to the site. Hi all.

I will be arriving on a late flight to Orio Al Serio Airport (Bergamo) later this month and am looking for a hotel as close as possible to funicular station where the shuttle bus terminates.

Travelling alone and on a budget I need something within walking distance from the station if possible.

I am only staying for the night then visiting the lakes.

Can anyone recommend anywhere.

Thank you

Hi, does anyone know how long it would take to get from Bergamo airport to Lake Como? I've never been to LakeComo before, so am unsure of the best resorts to visit, but as I'm only visiting for 2 days, would guess that the South shore would be most time-efficient, therefore probably Como as a starting point??

Is there a direct train from Bergamo train station to Como and if so how long would it take?

Thanks, Simone

We are 8 people arriving to bergamo, we have to catch a cruise in genova, what is the best easiest & cheapest way to arrive there?
Thanks

Hi everyone:

Is there any area in Bergamo I should avoid regarding the hotel? I look for a place close to the centre, station and bus/train to/from Orio airport (maybe it's a too obvious question)

Can anyone give me information on the cheapest private transfer from Bergamo airport to the small town of Gargnano on the west side of lake Garda. I will be travelling with my husband in July and have checked some taxi sites but they seem very expensive for just 2 people. I believe there are also shuttle buses but I wonder if they stop at lots of stops, making the journey perhaps a bit uncomfortable. Many thanks

We plan on renting a car in Venice and driving to Bergamo and making that our home base for 4 days.
From Bergamo we would like to do a day trip to Lake Como. From what I've read, we can take a ferry in Varenna to Bellagio and other towns on the lake.
My question is how difficult of a journey will it be driving from Bergamo to Varenna.

Thank you

Hi

my wife and i are travelling to bergamo at the end of august, and are seeking a b&b, or gusthouse close to the funicolare, and also not far from the train station.I have been told hotel alla funicolare is ok.Does anyone know of this gusthouse and if it is suitable. We will also be travelling to milan and back, and would also like to know if a daytrip to venice and return is practical,and how long the train would take. Also,is the funicolare operating at night? Thank you

please can you recommend a reasonable b& B in the Old City of Bergamo.
I am on my own for the first time and going for 3 nigts in June very nervous but really looking forward to seeing this beautiful city

I am travelling to Lake Orta in May for a wedding & can get a reasonably priced flight to Bergamo. Is it possible to travel by train to Lake Orta without going into Milan first? I think you can get a bus to the train station @ Bergamo from the airport.

If anyone has the answer do you also have any idea of the cost?

Thanks for all your help.

Hello!
I am looking for the easiest way to get from Bergamo to St. Moritz (or one hour within St.Moritz)
I know that i could go to Milano and take a train from there, but was wondering if there is a train that runs directly from the Bergamo train station into Switzerland ...
Thanks in advance!

Hi, I will have to stay one night in Bergamo, Thursday 12.02.09 from 22.00 until 5.00AM, waiting for another flight and I don't want to book a hotel. Is the airport open overnight? I would like to walk the city, any place open late? I won't be wearing anything smart, so please don't send me to stylish places :-) I am looking for some decent bar/pub/no disco, where one can keep himself warm. Grazie.

Hi, I'm gonna be in bergamo for 3 nites over Valentines wkend and was just wondering wot i should be packing? I'm assuming it will be quite cold there so warm clothes and a big warm coat are a must i'd imagine. I went to Milan for a wk a few yrs ago and found that everyone was super stylish and dressed up regardless of weather - is it like that in Bergamo. I'm flyin with ryanair so packing space limited so wanted to get advice on how dressed up people actually get going out at nite and are they all as stylish as they were in Milan?! Also does it rain a lot there (i'm from Ireland where it rains all the time!) Thanks.

Dear,

Planned to visit Bergamo 9 and 10 of February. I'm looking for someone to guide me through the city. You don't have to do it for free of course, willing to pay a reasonable fee. Interested? Let me know, and eventually send me your proposal.

Kind regards,
Luc

Dolomites, Lakes, or Cinque Terre at Christmas in Italy?

I don't know where to spend the Holidays in Italy? On December 16, I have to leave Bergamo, and I can go one of three directions, all leading to different parts of Italy. Eventually I will see most of it, but it's where to go first, and specifically where to go during late December I'm concerned with.

After Bergamo, I can head

1) South to the Liguria coast, Cinque Terre, and up to Genoa
2) East to Brescia, Lake Garda, and up the Dolomite Alps to Trentino/Alto Adige, and on to Belluno before turning around (note: I don't like skiing, thought I love scenic photography)
3) West to Lecco, Como, Maggiore lake district

There you have it, three clear options. So where would you go first, and why? Thanks for sharing your thoughts.

Note: The two destinations that don't get picked will be seen in January.

Can anyone tell me how far Venice and Milan are from Bergamo's airport? Also, which one is easier to get to by train from Bergamo?

Thank you!

Please help! My boyfriend and I have found a hugely recommended hotel to stay at in Fuipiano Imagna in the Bergamo area for a short weekend away at the end of November and we'd love to find out more about the surrounding area. We both have a real love of the mountains and nature.

We both love hiking and ski-ing and wondered if anyone could recommend any good walks in the area or nearby ski resorts that may be open at the end of November (subject to snow of course!).

We'll have a hire car so can be flexible.

Thanks!

Looking for birthplace of Pope John XXIII. Understand it's Sotto Il Monte near Bergamo.

Thank you.

We have an early flight (7.20) with Ryanair from Orio airport. And i just can't make up my mind on where to stay overnight. I don't think it's a good idea to take a morning bus from Milan..
Do you have any suggestions on Bergamo hotel? Easy to reach the airport..
SOS :)

Hi all, Me again!

With a week to go, we are wondering about prices, particularly re train travel (as this will probably be our most likely method of transport). Anyone got an idea/ examples of how much it costs.

Would especially be interested in costs from Airport to bergamo, and to the lakes.

Thanks again
