Rain days are the days with at least 1 mm of rain, as a weather station counts them.

Weather read at the centre: ten years of ERA5 and ERA5-Land reanalysis, through Open-Meteo's open data.

A busy month is a crowded one, not a bad one — usually it is crowded because the weather is good. It is flagged rather than scored down, and crowds alone never make a month “avoid”: that is reserved for weather worth skipping.

How busy it gets

Busiest from July to October; quietest in January, March and December.

Then and now

Bergamo's June days now average 26.8°C, 4.2°C warmer than in 1981–1990. 9 of 12 months are clearly warmer.

Getting there

Fly into Orio al Serio (BG) (BGY), then drive. The flights under Where to book are to Orio al Serio (BG).

The drive from each airport is the road's, from openrouteservice.org by HeiGIT: typical, not a schedule.

How far Bergamo is, and what it costs, depends on where you set off from — the months above do not.

Before you go

Type C and F and L plugs at 230 V. Drives on the right. The currency is the Euro. No UK Foreign Office advice against travel. Everything for Italy: cost of living, languages, emergency numbers and health.

Being there

On arrival

Paying — By law, shops, cafés and bars must take a card payment of any amount, and refusing one is fined. Carry a little cash for tips.
UPI, for visitors from India — Not accepted for paying here; bring a card that works abroad.
Tipping — Not customary; restaurants outside Rome often add a cover charge (coperto). Leaving the change in cafés and taxis is common.

Getting around Bergamo

Apps — Rides: FreeNow, itTaxi, Uber. Maps: Google Maps, Apple Maps. Messages: WhatsApp. In Rome these apps book licensed taxis; Uber also offers the dearer Uber Black.

The city's public transit authority is called ATB (Azienda Trasporti Bergamo) and provides a comprehensive website in English. ATB operates a number of bus lines, two funiculars and a tram line. More on Wikivoyage

What Bergamo is like

Bergamo is a city in Lombardy, a region of Italy, and the capital of the namesake province. One of the most scenic cities in Italy, it is located on and around a steep hill, green in the summer and white in the winter, complemented by pastel-coloured architecture, against the backdrop of nearby Alps. More on Wikivoyage

Worth seeing: Piazza Vecchia. The heart of the old town, displaying a mix of medieval and Renaissance architecture: Palazzo della Ragione, Torre del Comune, Palazzo Nuovo and Contarini Fountain. More on Wikivoyage
Worth doing: Teatro Donizetti. Opera house. Teatro Sociale. Theatre. New Balance Arena (formerly Stadio Atleti Azzurri d’Italia). More on Wikivoyage
Getting in: Bergamo airport is the 3rd busiest airport in Italy, serving a wider area than just the province of Bergamo. More on Wikivoyage
