Bergamo Mini Guide

Bergamo Airport is an airport serving the northern Italian region of Lombardy, and is situated near the small Italian town of Bergamo, about 40km northeast of Milan. The airport has become steadily busier in recent years, with increasing numbers of people booking cheap flights to the airport with low cost budget airlines. The availability of these cheap flights has made a thrifty trip to Italy’s beautiful Lombardy region an evermore attractive prospect, and a budget Bergamo city break is an ideal weekend holiday.

The town of Bergamo lies snug in the Alpine foothills of northern Italy’s Lombardy Region and is a small city with a population of around 120,000. What it lacks in pace, size and spectacle it more than makes up for in aesthetic beauty, aura and understated charm. A pretty town, Bergamo is a relatively undiscovered gem. It separates into two distinct parts – the modern and vibrant Cittá Bassa (Lower City) and the Cittá Alta (Upper City), older and with a stronger atmosphere of heritage and antiquity.

The two cities coexist to result in a delightful combination of the new and the old, contemporary sophistication and medieval antiquity – a compatible mix of attitude, ambience and architecture that lends itself well to the city’s popularity as a destination amongst budget travelers and the wealthy Italian ‘cognoscenti’ alike.
