Bus From Bergamo to Milan
By far the most popular way of reaching Milan from Bergamo Airport is with one of shuttle buses that depart regularly from outside of arrivals.
There are four companies running the route – Terravision, Autostradale, Flibco, and Orio – with each operating a regular service with frequent departures throughout the day.
Journey time is around 50 minutes to an hour, depending upon the traffic.
Irrespective of which company you choose, the final destination will be Milano Centrale (the city’s grand train station – find it here on Google Maps).
Tickets can be bought online, either in advance of your arrival or when you land: we’ll explain the where to buy the tickets below.
Once you’ve collected your baggage and passed through customs, simply turn left and you’ll find the ticket kiosks for each bus company, before the car rental desks.
Some will have a timetable visible, but if not, simply ask when the next departure is. Note that at the time of our visit, most had a sign stating ‘next departure in five minutes‘ which appeared to be more of a ploy than a guarantee, so don’t feel the need to rush to them.
Buying Bus Tickets
You can either buy your ticket from the person on the kiosk in the arrivals hall, or just use the QR code on their window to buy from the individual company’s website.
You can also buy on their websites in advance of your arrival in Bergamo.
Tickets cost around €10 one-way if you buy your ticket online (even if ‘in advance’ is just a few minutes before the planned departure), but you’ll pay up to €12 for a single ticket if buying in-person from the kiosk. We opted for the second option as it was simpler and meant we could head out quicker to catch the next bus rather than faff on a phone.
Alternatively, if you want to cut out the middleman and just board the bus that’s leaving next, you can just exit the arrivals hall and you’ll immediately see all the buses for Milan lined up opposite. They usually all have guys by the bus checking and selling tickets, with cash and card payments accepted.
One point to be aware of: some of the companies had guys trying to drum up business from rushing or passing passengers, but they are not always honest on how soon their bus is leaving…
There are four companies that operate this route, and below we’ve included their costs and how to buy tickets in advance:
Terravision | The first bus is at 5.40am, with regular departures every 30 minutes until 3.40am. If buying online,…
