Airport Transportation in Bergamo

Pre-booked private transportation takes you directly from Il Caravaggio International Airport to your hotel, resort or vacation rental.

After immigration, baggage claim and customs, continue outside the terminal to the meeting area named in your confirmation. Your vehicle is reserved only for the passengers on your reservation: unlike a shared shuttle, it makes no extra hotel stops for other travelers, and the price is per vehicle, not per person.

Our airport transportation from Bergamo Airport, also called Milan Bergamo or Orio al Serio, takes you to hotels and apartments in Bergamo's lower town and Città Alta, to central Milan and Milano Centrale station, and to towns around Orio al Serio.

Bergamo Airport Transfers

Bergamo airport transfers start in the arrivals hall of the single terminal, where your driver waits with a name sign after baggage claim and customs. We track your flight, so the pickup follows your real landing time, and the price for your vehicle is fixed before you fly, from a sedan for two to a van for a family or group with luggage.

Each Bergamo airport transfer goes door to door to your hotel, apartment or vacation rental in Bergamo, Città Alta or Milan. Going on to Lake Como, Lake Iseo, Lake Garda or Malpensa Airport? Enter the address in the booking form: when a vehicle is available for that route, the price shows before you pay; if it does not, contact us before you fly.

Bergamo Airport Shuttle

Our Bergamo airport shuttle is a private van for your party only, not one of the shared coaches to Milano Centrale that wait to fill up and drop everyone at the station. It leaves as soon as you have your bags and takes you to your own door, which suits families, groups and travelers with skis or bikes.

Landing at Bergamo Airport

Milan Bergamo Airport (BGY), officially Il Caravaggio International Airport, is in Orio al Serio, just southeast of Bergamo, and SACBO runs it. All flights use one terminal, with gate areas A and B, so there is no terminal to choose; Ryanair has one of its largest bases here.

Flights from Italy and other Schengen countries arrive without passport checks; from outside the Schengen area, including the UK, Morocco and Albania, you line up at passport control. After baggage claim you walk through customs into the arrivals hall, where pre-booked drivers meet passengers. The taxi stand and the coach stops are outside.

Italy is on Central European Time (UTC+1) and switches to UTC+2 for daylight saving time from late March to late October. It uses the euro.

Entry requirements and local notes

Schengen entry. Italy is in the Schengen area. Non-EU travelers arriving from outside it are registered in the EU Entry/Exit System (EES), fully operational since 10 April 2026. Check the visa rules for your nationality before you fly.

Three Milan airports. Milan is also served by Malpensa (MXP) and Linate (LIN), so check that your ticket says BGY. Landing at Malpensa? Book on our Malpensa page.

Città Alta traffic zone. The historic center of Città Alta is a limited traffic zone (ZTL) with camera-controlled gates, so give your full address and hotel name when you book.

Euro and cards. Italy uses the euro, and cards and contactless payments are widely accepted.

Bergamo Airport Transportation FAQs

Where will my driver meet me at Bergamo Airport?

In the arrivals hall of the single terminal, holding a sign with your name, after baggage claim and customs. The official taxi stand outside Door 1 is a separate place.

How far is Bergamo Airport from Bergamo and Milan?

The airport is about 4 km (2.5 miles) southeast of Bergamo, usually about 15 minutes by car to the lower town. Central Milan is about 45 km (28 miles) away, usually about an hour on the A4 highway, longer at weekday rush hours.

Can you take me to central Milan or Milano Centrale?

Yes. We drive door to door to hotels and apartments across central Milan, and to Milano Centrale and other stations. Give us your train time when you book.

Can you take me to Città Alta?

Yes. We drive to hotels and apartments in Bergamo's upper town and lower town. Città Alta's historic center is a limited traffic zone, so give your full address and hotel name; where cars cannot enter, your driver stops at the nearest point a car can reach.

Can you take me to Lake Como, Lake Iseo or Lake Garda?

Enter the address in the booking form: when a vehicle is available for that route, the price shows before you pay; if it does not, contact us before you fly.

Can you take me from Bergamo Airport to Malpensa or Linate?

Enter the airport in the booking form: when a vehicle is available for that route, the price shows before you pay; if it does not, contact us before you fly. Leave plenty of time for your connecting flight.

How many terminals does Bergamo Airport have?

One. Every airline uses the same passenger terminal, with gate areas A and B, and all arriving passengers leave through the same arrivals hall.

Do you drive to apartments and vacation rentals?

Yes. Give the full street address, the apartment number and any entrance details. In Città Alta and other pedestrian or restricted streets, your driver stops at the nearest point a car can reach.

Can I book a transfer for a late-night or early-morning flight?

Yes, enter your flight time in the booking form to see the vehicles available. Many Bergamo flights leave early in the morning, so set the pickup from where you are staying with enough time for check-in and security.

Should I buy transportation from people offering rides inside Bergamo Airport?

There is no need. Booking ahead gives you a confirmed vehicle and a meeting point before you land. If someone approaches you in arrivals, check the company name against your confirmation before getting in.

What happens if my flight is delayed or canceled?

We monitor the flight on your reservation, so your driver waits for the actual landing. If your flight number, date or airline changes, or your flight is canceled, tell customer service so the pickup can be moved.

Can I book a ride back to Bergamo Airport?

Yes. Book a one-way departure or a round trip from your hotel or apartment in Bergamo or Milan, and give your flight number and departure time, so the pickup is set for check-in and security.
