Is it best to stay in Bergamo or Milan when flying into Bergamo airport and arriving late at night?

Question

We're flying into Milan Bergamo airport late on a Tuesday night (10pm) and are heading to Lake Como (hotel booked for Wednesday night). My question is whether it is better to stay in a hotel near the airport and then travel to Milan and then Como on the Wednesday or get the bus to Milan and stay there for the night.

Cheers

Answer 1

Stay in Bergamo. Milan was a bit of a dump when we went there - we were really disappointed!

Answer 2

Stay in Bergamo. Either way it will be late by the time you get to the hotel. At least from Bergamo you can get a quick train into Milan rather than the bus.

Answer 3

I would stay in Bergamo. Here are some hotels

Answer 4

I've been to Bergamo and it's a nice place to stay with quite a few bars and restaurants in the area. Milan is roughly half an hour on a train from Bergamo so I would suggest you're better getting accommodation for the night in Bergamo.

Answer 5

Staying in Bergamo is surely cheeper than sleeping in Milan.. ;)

Answer 6

If you fly in at 10pm then you won't be out of the airport until may 11pm. Book your place top stay as close to the Bergamo a/p as you can so you can get a good night's sleep and head out in the morning.... after 10am so you don't get caught up and stuck in the morning commuting traffic.

The portion of highway from Bergamo to Milan is like the road to h**l in the early morning and when everyone heads home in the evenings (between 5pm and 7pm).

Answer 7

Try and stay in Bergamo as it will be quicker and cheaper from the airport.

Check out Train Italia and you do not need to go into Milan but use local trains depending on where in Como you need to be.
