Will 3 hours be enough time for an Italian adventure? Layover Escapes Episode 1: Bergamo, Italy

Thank you!!!! :)

Hi Steve, I took a day trip to Bergamo three months ago, my work colleagues thought I was mad, but people like yourself would understand. The return fare on Ryanair from London Stansted was £19.98! The flight left at 8.00 with the return departing at 18.20, so I had around six hours there. and like you I wasted time trying to find a place to buy a ticket on the no. 1 bus. I got off in town at the bus station and walked all the way up to Citta Alta, deciding not to take the funicular railway. Boy, was it an exhausting climb, but I got the great views on the latter part of the walk. The old city is absolutely lovely, it was a lot quieter when I was there in late January and a lot of the shops/cafes were closed, but it was a perfect blue sky day with temperature of about 8 celsius. The bus from Citta Alta took me all the way back to the airport; the flight left on time and landed into a foggy Stansted around 9.30pm. Would I do the trip again? Absolutely! Italians I spoke to pronounced Bergamo with a soft 'a.'

[@steve-marsh]

Superb! I would've loved a few extra hours there and maybe then I'd have climbed to the top too ;)

[@lindahart6049]

I love your spirit of adventure! I used to live near New York City and would often fly to LHR if I had a long weekend, and just explore the city and the museums, etc.

[@twood7759]

I did a similar day trip to Bergamo about 15 years ago it was fab. We had about 8 hours there and was great fun. Theres a big shopping centre just opposite the airport where we called in on the way back to the airport and bought wine, and delicious italian produce to take home🙂

[@MrSnout5]

@@lindahart6049 Now that's what I call a spirit of adventure!

[@valentinm0]

Quick tip at Bergamo (BGY), the security queue is sometimes huuuuuuuge and takes forever to get through to air side. However, if you have PriorityPass or Loungekey access, just go to the lounge first and, when exiting the lounge, they'll actually show you a "secret door" to get straight to the Fast Track security! No extra cost! :) Thank you for showring me Citta Alta in Bergamo, I've only been to Milano itself, I was so young and stupid, I'm definitely going to check out Bergamo in the future! Cheers!

[@steve-marsh]

Superb info! This comments section is gold!

[@liamkennedy8864]

You’re so right about the security queue, the amount of people pushing in because they were cutting it close with their flights was crazy

[@peterosullivan9942]

Bergamo deserves more tourists and it definately deserves more than 3 hours. Its a wonderful place with some fantastic history and architecture. My wife and I spent three nights there and we did go into Milan for one full day trip but Bergamo itself is worth a three day city break on its own in my opinion. There are often cheap flights stopping over there. Take advantage and you won't be dissapointed. That 2nd funicular takes you right upto a castle with some fantastic views and a few very scenic bars and restuarants. The cost of the first funicular covers the 2nd one as well as long as you do it within a set time limit.

[@stvpett]

I had a Ryanair flight that was going to layover in Bergamo overnight. So I decided to make it two nights and spend a day in the city. I absolutely did not regret it and hope to go back again in the future. The Citta Alta was beautiful though a little strange on the day I went. Instead of clear blue skies it was overcast and foggy. It was like the whole Citta Alta was sitting inside the clouds. It gave a very interesting feeling, like one had ascended into a different world. The second funicular will take you to an even higher section, and I had one of the best meals of my life in a restaurant there. 😀

[@steve-marsh]

I must admit that weather sounds fabulous!

[@BarneyLeith]

I love Italian hilltop towns and villages. They are often elegant and the central square surrounded by beautiful buildings. Bergamo certainly looks to be worth a visit. Another excellent video, Steve.

[@malcolmwarner589]

After 4 days in Milan, I spent 5 nights in Stunning Bergamo. My Airbnb was a converted chapel, walking distance to the funicular to Città Alta where I visited on 2 different days. I went right the top on 2nd funicular. Walking back from bus I encountered a 4 day food festival in the Central Bergamo. Boy did I eat and shop. A great base for day trips to Lake Como (another train challenge lol) and Northern Italian towns. I love secondary Euro cities (I am a Melbournian - Oz) and travel as a retiree is my passion. Great video Steve. One of my best friends where I live in Bali is from Inverness, and I have stayed with John numerous times at his wee house in Edinburgh in Newtown. Ironically both John and I hark from the Morrison clan!

[@Thomas-cp6qe]

That was a really good vid Steve. When you are sightseeing on an ad hoc basis it can catch the parts the tour guides bypass. The narrow streets, the funicular railway, the pizza and much more. The jump into the unknown is a great way to see the essence of a place. You did well in such a short time. Thanks for sharing.

I will never be able to visit all the places that you have (though I am holding out hope that I may see some of them), so I'm living a bit vicariously through your videos.

There is a bus from Città Alta direct to the airport. Bergamo is a great place for a stop over. The other funicular takes you to the castle with fantastic views

[@steve-marsh]

Ohhh need to head back and see 'the other side' :)

[@nicolek4076]

@@steve-marsh The bus terminus is at the upper end (further from the funicular railway station) of the main street in the old city. I used to pass there on my way to work in Lallio (a rather dismal industrial suburb). I passed this view ever day. Parking was a nightmare. You could obtain a pass to drive on certain designated streets if you lived in the old city. It was the unofficial policy of the parking wardens that with such a pass, parking would not attract a fine between 7pm and 8am, even in places where there was a 24 hour parking ban.

Some years ago I had to go to Milan for business. My boss at the time was a gentleman born and raised in Milan. Because I was over there over the weekend, he advised me to go to Bergamo Alta. His argument was that "there was nothing to see in Milan" 😀. I went there on the Saturday and spent the whole day there. It is a gem of a place, I would happily not have left at all.

In Italy, you can almost always buy bus (and even train) tickets at the ubiquitous tabacchi, tobacco shops emblazoned with a white on black T. Often, you can also finds stamps, there, if you want to send a post card. Always good to know for a next time. I enjoyed Bergamo a lot, too. And it's only a short hop to Milan, the main (international) Malpensa airport for Milan is about as far away as Bergamo anyway. Only Linate is much closer.

Bergamo is one city of course, but really are 2! The modern city (train station, big boulevards, Donizetti's teatre, big shops) and the old city (built around year 1000 with very important buildings, churches, towers, venetian walls of the middleage and baroque periods). Bergamo, one city and two souls!!! You will love Bergamo, for sure!!!

[@olivethrush7450]

One of the better ones Steve and that's saying something. Well done for dodging the layover in the terminal and takig us to La Citta. All that was missing at the Al fresco snack was a glass of something red. No meal in Italy is complete without that.

Thanks Olive! And so true, but for the drive home from Edinburgh it would've happened :)

[@PlanesTrainsEverything]

Another great video! I was in the Verona/Florence area last month, and train announcements pronouced the city Berg-a-mo. In fact an Italian friend from years ago also pronounced it this way, so you would imagine the Italians know best. And you found the funicular! I did that way back in 1986!!!
