Bergamo is a small town sitting in the hills of Lombardy. Although it's only an hour by train from Milan, it feels worlds away. It sits at the beginning of the mountains, giving you gorgeous views and a different cuisine. In terms of day trips, it's pretty ideal!
Best of all, it's also only 10 minutes away from Milan Bergamo, Milan's second-biggest airport and Ryanair's third-biggest base. So it's easy to get to and makes an excellent one-night stopover if you're flying in or out of Italy here!

One of Milan's airports, an hour outside the city but only 10 minutes from Bergamo. It's one of Ryanair's major hubs, so a great jumping off point for exploring Europe!

ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Emma | Where's Emma Now

Amateur Italian, travel advisor, and adventurous eater!
I’m a travel creative living in small town northern Italy, and I've been planning travel for over 15 years. I've lived on three continents and visited over 40 countries, so I'm passionate about helping travelers experience the best of a location, no matter where!
I love both/and travel: I want to see the big sights AND the local hangouts, the big cities AND the small towns. I’d love to help you do it too!
If you’re going to Rome for the first time, you don’t need me to tell you to see the Colosseum. But you might want me to tell you if it’s better as a guided tour or on your own, what add-on’s are worth the money, and what are the extra secret things your ticket can get you!
My favorite part of travel is eating well: finding the local haunts, tasting a new wine, and trying the local dishes. Amazing food doesn't have to be expensive: sometimes the best of a place is in the street food! But if it is a splurge, I'll make sure it's worth every penny.
I'd love to work with you to create the trip of your dreams!
