Public transportation in Bergamo has a fairly extensive network and allows for comfortable travel even without a personal vehicle. In addition to traditional forms of urban transport — buses, trams, and taxis — a unique feature of Bergamo's transport system is the funiculars, which connect the Old Town and the New Town.
Transport Tickets
A single ticket is valid for all types of transport, and its cost depends on the duration and zone of the trip. You can freely use various types of public transport until the time printed on the ticket expires. All stops are equipped with route maps and schedules. Tickets can be purchased at special kiosks or ticket machines.
Travel Tips
We recommend tourists to pay attention to the most popular city bus routes — buses No.1 and No.21. A single ticket for these routes costs 2.30 EUR and is valid for 90 minutes. There are also daily (4.50 EUR) and three-day (7.00 EUR) passes available, with or without airport transfer included.
The bus network in Bergamo includes a total of 13 routes.
The city’s hallmark is its two funicular lines. One connects the Old Town with the New Town, while the other leads to the ruins of Castello di San Vigilio. The ride takes about 5 minutes, but the impressions of the beautiful views of Bergamo will last long.
Taxis in Bergamo are a relatively expensive mode of transport. The price per kilometer starts from 1.20 EUR, with an initial fare of about 5 EUR. Rates may be higher during evening and night hours.
