Bergamo airport, officially Orio al Serio, is modern, rather smaller and well organised. Most flights take place in one terminal, which makes it easy to navigate. It tends to be quite busy, so expect the airport to be very busy, especially in high season.
Flights to Bergamo: when and from where to fly
The airport operates all year round and offers a very wide network of connections throughout Europe.
There are direct flights from the Czech Republic, most often from Prague, virtually all year round. The big advantage is the high frequency of connections and often very low prices - with a bit of luck you can get really cheap tickets.
In high season (spring-summer) the offer is even wider, but even in winter the connections remain very good. This makes Bergamo ideal for weekend trips and longer holidays.
How to get from Bergamo Airport

Bus to Bergamo city centre
If you want to explore Bergamo itself first, you can use the city bus, which will take you to the centre in 15 minutes.
Bergamo is an often underrated destination - the historic upper town (Città Alta) is definitely worth a visit!
Rent a car
For travelling around northern Italy (lakes, Dolomites, Verona), renting a car is ideal. You will find a wide range of car rental companies at the airport. A car gives you maximum flexibility, especially if you are planning to visit multiple places.
