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

I often schedule over-cautious connection times when flying, just incase of cancelations etc, so I'm hoping this can be the start of a new series! Airports are the same the world over so every time I have a few hours to spare, I'm going to get out and explore somewhere a bit more authentic. It won't always work out I know, but I'm off to a flier here...
I was flying home from Bucharest to Edinburgh via Milan with Ryanair. Then I realised it wasn't Milan at all, it was Bergamo. And Bergamo city centre is not too far from the airport, so let's try and have a mini Italian adventure with the 180 minutes I have free! What could possibly go wrong...
Hi, I’m Steve, a travel reviewer from Scotland. Join me on my adventures as I discover my own country, often visiting places for the first time, so hopefully it's as much of an eye-opener for you as it is for me! Don't expect expert opinion, just a very honest journey of discovery. Sometimes featuring my intrepid sidekick Alicja, sometimes featuring adventures beyond the borders of Scotland. Enjoy!

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!

@liamkennedy8864 8 месяцев назад

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 Год назад

I must admit that weather sounds fabulous!

@BarneyLeith Год назад

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.

@taterdemalion1 Год назад

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 Год назад

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

@nicolek4076 Год назад

@@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.

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 Год назад

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

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!!!

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 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.

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!

It is lovely to see that more and more folks discover the city where I grew up.. I Hope you're get the chance to explore a wee bit more next time . And it is certainly better than Milano 😂

I love Bergamo, Steve, my wife and I stayed in Citta Alta for two days in 2016. I'd go back again for sure. Glad that you rolled the dice and got out of the airport.
