Il Caravaggio International Airport (BGY)

Getting Around

How to get to and from Il Caravaggio International Airport — taxis, public transport, shuttles and car rental.

Transport Options at BGY

Il Caravaggio International Airport is connected to Orio al Serio (BG) and the wider Italy transport network by multiple ground transport options.

Rail & Metro

No train station sits at the airport itself yet — a new Orio al Serio rail link is under construction and slated to open in 2026. Until then, the nearest station is Bergamo's main railway station, about 5.6km away, reachable by ATB city bus in roughly 10 minutes.

Bus & Shuttle

Terravision, FlixBus, Autostradale and Orioshuttle all run frequent coach services to central Milan (Centrale or Lampugnano, roughly 50–60 minutes), plus connections to Bergamo city, Brescia, Turin, Verona and other regional cities.

Taxi

An official taxi rank sits outside arrivals; a ride to Bergamo's Città Alta old town or central Milan carries a fixed/indicative fare (confirm at the rank), with Milan taking roughly an hour by road.

Rideshare

Uber in Italy is limited to a premium Uber Black-style service rather than everyday UberX, so it's pricier than in many other countries — FlixBus/Terravision or the taxi rank are the practical options.

Car Rental

All major international and several local rental agencies operate on site.

Insider tip

Since there's no rail link at the airport yet, book your Milan-bound coach ticket online in advance — Terravision and FlixBus fares are meaningfully cheaper pre-purchased than paying at the airport counter.

Transport routes, fares and operators change frequently. Verify current options on the official Il Caravaggio International Airport website before travel.
