Can anyone tell me the best way to travel from Bergamo airport (Milan) to Lake Garda please?

Question

Was wondering if it would be possible to avoid hiring a car, thanks for the help.

Answer 1

Any place in particular on the Lake? - it is the biggest in Italy.

Answer 2

The easiest way is to take the ATB bus to the train station in Bergamo (about 10 minutes) and then go to either Desenzano or Peschiera del Garda on the train (roughly an hour and a half with a connection in Brescia. An alternative would be to take the bus from the airport to Milano Centrale station and get a train there. You won't have to change trains, but it's a hour on the bus to Milan and a longer train ride, so the overall time will be somewhat longer.

There's transportation information from the airport at:
