Are you arriving at or departing from Bergamo Airport? Below is some of the most important information you need to know before you arrive.
Â
Bergamo – Orio al Serio Airport (officially Il Caravaggio International Airport) was established in 1937 for military purposes and made its first civil flight in 1972. Recently it has become one of the most important airports in Italy becoming, in 2015, the third Italian airport for passenger traffic. This is mainly due to the presence of the low cost Ryanair that has made it one of its three main bases together with Dublin – Cork and London – Stansted.
Bergamo Airport is located in the town of Orio al Serio, 5 km from Bergamo and 50 km from Milan.
Reaching it is easy.
Â
The airport is easily reached by the A4 freeway.
For those coming from Milan the exit to take is Bergamo, while for those coming from Brescia it will be Seriate.
Once off the freeway, there are many well-marked directions.
Â
You can also reach the Bergamo – Orio al Serio Airport by train.
Once you reach the Bergamo station you will find an ATB bus service (Airport Bus) with which you will reach the terminal in 10 minutes.
Â
Bergamo Airport is also easily accessible by bus: there are several companies that provide daily connections between the airport and the main cities of northern Italy, but also with the rest of the peninsula.
Among the companies with the most connections we point out Flixbus and BusCenter.
Autostradale, OrioShuttle and Terravision, on the other hand, connect the airport in Bergamo with the railway stations in Milan, with the trade fair centers of the Lombard capital and other cities in Lombardy.
There are also numerous Fly Ski Shuttle buses that connect the airport with the main ski areas in the surroundings.
Â
If you reach Bergamo Airport by car, you will have no problem finding a parking space where you can leave your car safely.
In addition to the official airport parking lots, you will find several alternative ones. The offers range from premium to low cost options: the suggestion is to always take a look at the reviews before choosing.

The airport terminal is one, but rather long.

There are two gates: Gate A (1 – 16) and Gate B (extra – Schengen).
Inside the terminal you will find a Sala Amica for passengers with reduced mobility and a smoking area.
