			HOW TO GET TO BERGAMO

Milano Linate and Milano Malpensa are the closest International airports.
Bergamo is about 30 miles away from Milan.
- If you arrive at MILANO LINATE take the bus to "Milano Centrale" Station;
 the bus leaves every 20 minutes and takes 15 minutes to arrive at the
 station.
- If you arrive at MILANO MALPENSA take the bus to "Milano Centrale"
 Station; the bus leaves every half an hour and takes almost an hour to
 arrive at the station.
- From MILANO CENTRALE there are some trains to Bergamo. Otherwise, take the
 Metro from Centrale to Milano Porta Garibaldi Station (two stops on the
 Green line); here you find many trains (one per hour) to Bergamo. Some
 trains go directly from Milan to Bergamo, others stop in Carnate Usmate,
 where you have to get a connection train to Bergamo.
