HOW TO REACH BERGAMO Bergamo is situated in the centre of Lombardy, about 60 km east of Milan. It can be reached by plane, train or car (it s on the A4 autoroute). Your best option is to fly directly to Bergamo. The ORIO AL SERIO Airport is apprx 5 km from the city centre (website: www.orioaeroporto.it ). A Shuttle Bus Service (Bus 1C) http://www.atb.bergamo.it/airportbus is available every 15 minutes and tickets can be bought at the airport ( 2.00 for a single ticket into town). You can also get a taxi (Radio TAXI 035/4519090)for apprx 16-20. If you cannot find a flight to Bergamo airport, you should try to get a flight to MILANO LINATE Forlanini Airport (www.sea-aeroportimilano.it not Milano Malpensa (45 km from Milan). You will then need to get from Linate airport to either Lambrate Railway Station or to Stazione Centrale for a train to Bergamo (we suggest you go to Lambrate as it is a shorter ride). In order to do so: - either (i) buy a bus ticket for STAZIONE CENTRALE at the STARFLY booth (tel 02/5858.7237) near Arrivals. - You can find the train timetable at www.trenitalia.com (write Milano Lambrate or Milano Centrale ); - take a taxi at the arrivals: apprx price from the airport to Lambrate is 15,00; to city centre, 20,00. **Remember to stamp your train ticket before boarding the train. If your flight arrives at MILANO MALPENSA Airport (www.sea-aeroportimilano.it ), the journey time to get to Bergamo is quite a bit longer: - either take the Malpensa Shuttle AIR PULLMAN to Milano Stazione Centrale. Departures are every 20 min. from Terminal 1 Gate 6. A ticket costs 7,50. - Another less convenient solution (too many connections involved), is to take the Malpensa Express Train that leaves every 30 minutes 4
www.malpensaexpress.it (terminal 1- Floor 1) to Milano Cadorna Railway Station (Underground Red/ Green Line). Then from there the underground either to Lambrate Railway Station or to Milano Stazione Centrale, before getting a train for Bergamo. - Taxis are quite expensive. You can get one at the Arrivals (approximately 70,00 to go to Milano Stazione Centrale). 3) On arrival at Bergamo Railway Station, you will need to get to Porta Nuova, two bus stops away from the Station (buses n. 1/2/7 or 8). A ticket per la città can be bought at the Newspaper kiosk or tobacconist s inside the Station ( 1,20). A slightly-cheaper-in-the-long-run multiple ticket: Un tesserino (10 rides) costs 10,50. From Porta Nuova take a bus directly to the Students Office, located in the University Campus, Via dei Caniana (bus n. 5 from Porta Nuova). Taxis are also available from the Station (it s a short ride). Bus tickets are valid for an hour after they are stamped the first time you board a bus. Alternatively, from Porta Nuova, you can take bus (line 2) and get off in via Baschenis or via Previtali. The Students Office is at a short distance.
