Orio al Serio Airport — Bergamo — a bit of information part II

If, instead of leaving, you arrive at the airport, having enough time at your disposal, go see Bergamo, because it's really worth it. Just take the bus line 1, which leaves every 30 minutes and takes about 15 minutes to get to the city.

If you don't have a lot of luggage you can go directly to the Upper Town (i.e. the historic part, which you can see very well when landing). If not, get off at the station and leave your luggage in storage (I hope the railways or the municipality thought about it, because years ago, who knew, left their luggage in the public restrooms.

But I think it was a private initiative, not very official. Not to mention the language. I had information about this unusual luggage storage from a passerby on the road, but if I didn't speak Italian... I would have been forced to carry all my luggage around). I also saw the deposit at the airport, but this is rather the solution for those who have some time to leave and want to visit the Orio Shopping Center.

The airport area is equipped with various services. In the long corridor are the usual car rental points, various shops and shops (I love duty free in the boarding area), dining options where you can eat a sandwich or a piece of pizza and drink coffee. Of course there is no shortage of bathrooms, although, in my opinion, they could be cleaned more often.

Flights are generally on time. I personally haven't been a significant delay yet, but of course it can happen.
The thing that I didn't like at all (not to use another, less delicate expression) is that you have to pay for parking even when you just want to unload passengers.

At civilized airports (my landmark is usually Berlin) you can stop for up to 15 minutes without paying. Here, however, trouble if you stop, because there is always a watchman who will fall on you like a vulture.
