Milan to Bergamo is typically searched by travelers connecting to Orio al Serio Airport (BGY) — Bergamo's airport, used by Ryanair and Wizz Air and one of Europe's busiest budget terminals. The airport is 5 km from central Bergamo and about 45 km northeast of Milan. The most popular option is the Autostradale bus from Milan Centrale (1h), but there are cheaper and faster alternatives depending on where you are in Milan.
Milan to Bergamo Airport (BGY): all options
| Option | Price | Time | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Autostradale bus (Centrale → BGY) | €10 | 1h – 1h 15m | Departs every 30 min. Most popular option. |
| Terravision bus (Centrale → BGY) | €5–10 | 1h | Book online for cheaper. Same route. |
| Train to Bergamo + local bus | €5 + €2 | 1h 20m total | Train to Bergamo Centrale, then bus 1 to airport. |
| Taxi | €70–100 | 45–55 min | Fixed rate sometimes available — confirm before entering |
| Private transfer | €55–80 | 45–55 min | Door-to-door with flight tracking. Good for groups. |
Airport shuttle bus (recommended)
Two main operators run direct shuttles from Milan Centrale to Orio al Serio Airport:Autostradale and Terravision. Both depart from Piazza Luigi di Savoia (east side of Milano Centrale) and drop you directly at the airport terminal. Journey time is about 60 minutes in normal traffic.
Booking tips: Terravision fares start from €5 if booked online well in advance. Autostradale charges €10 and allows you to buy tickets at the stop. For peak summer and holiday periods, book in advance as buses fill up.
Train + Local Bus (budget option)
Take a Trenitalia train from Milano Centrale to Bergamo (30–40 min, from €3–5), then ATB City Bus Line 1 from Bergamo station to the airport (15–20 min, €2). Total journey ~1h, total cost €5–7. This is the cheapest option but requires a transfer.
ATB Line 1 runs frequently (every 10–15 minutes during the day) and stops right outside Bergamo railway station. The bus drops you at Terminal 1 of Orio al Serio. Allow extra time for transit and security at the airport.
Allow enough time
Orio al Serio is busy and check-in queues for budget airlines can be long. Ryanair recommends arriving at least 2 hours before departure for short-haul flights. With the 1-hour shuttle journey, plan to leave Milan Centrale at least 3 hours before your flight. Traffic on the A4 motorway (Milan–Bergamo) can add 20–30 minutes during rush hour (07:00–09:00 and 17:00–19:30).
Milan to Bergamo city centre
If you're visiting Bergamo (not the airport), the train from Milano Centrale is the best option: 30–40 minutes, fares from €3–5, frequent departures. Bergamo station is on the lower city (Città Bassa). From there, funicular railways (Funicolare) connect to the upper city (Città Alta) — the historic medieval walled town, a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 2023.
The lower funicular runs from Viale Vittorio Emanuele II (5 min walk from station) to Città Alta. Tickets: €1.50 single. From Città Alta, another funicular climbs to San Vigilio for panoramic views over the Po Valley.
Practical tips
- For the airport, the shuttle bus is simplest — no transfers, direct to terminal. Worth the €5–10 premium over the train+bus option if you have luggage
- Check your specific terminal at Orio al Serio — Ryanair and Wizz Air both use Terminal 1 (the only terminal). All buses drop here
- Return journey from airport: the same shuttles run from outside arrivals. Terravision and Autostradale stops are clearly signposted
- Bergamo Città Alta is one of Lombardy's best day trips from Milan — allow at least 3–4 hours to explore the walls, Piazza Vecchia, and the Basilica di Santa Maria Maggiore
- If you miss your shuttle, licensed taxis outside arrivals charge €70–100 to Milan. Agree the fare before getting in
