Coach to Milano Centrale 50-60 min, €9 one way online (Terravision from €5). A day ticket on local transport is ATM Milano biglietto giornaliero €7.60 (Milan only, not the coach from Bergamo).

What does a day in Milan Bergamo cost, not counting the flight?

About £58.00 a person for the day, local transport, lunch, dinner and a drink. Paid attractions are listed separately because most people do one or none, and an average that includes them is a number nobody actually pays.

Is the flight price on this page the one I will pay?

The fare shown was checked 25 October against Google Flights for this exact date and these exact flights. Fares move, so it can change before you book, and the price is not held for you.

How early do I need to be back at the airport?

Leave the city by 18:05. That allows 60 min to get back to the airport and 135 min there, including 45 min for passport checks on the way out, before the 21:20 flight home.

Will passport checks eat my day?

We allow 45 min on landing for the EU Entry/Exit System (fingerprints and a photo on your first trip) and 45 min extra on the way out. That is already taken off the 6.2 hours shown. These are estimates; queues run longer on busy days.
