Milan is 40 miles away from bergamo takes nearly as long to get to milan as the flight. Stay in bergamo some nice things to see and do, milan is a dump.

Bergamo is a great place to stay for a few nights.

Malpensa is a hour too, you don't get many flights into Linate (at prices we generally want).
I agree on the dump part sadly (been 12+ times).

Get the train to Lake Como and have a nice weekend. I think there is a train station in Varenna.

Milan may potentially be the most over hyped place I've ever been. you would likely not be getting this flight if you are the person I think would enjoy Milan. The whole fashion is a bunch of bull. the duomo is the main attraction and it is actually good. After that there's just shops you'll find in any city, it seems like most of the culture was unfortunately bombed and gone. Also to give you an idea their idea of a pub and ours is very different, after the 3rd day we were really looking to have a new night where we could have a drink. Found an Irish pub, got shown to a table and it was the most socially awkward place I've ever been. Being from Northern Ireland it was a far shout from an Irish pub. look if you must go, go ahead...but if I was bought the flights again I'd have to decline. rant over :smile:

if you do go get yourself the unlimited travel pass for the Lombardy region for like 30 euro for 5 days unlimited public transport...think it can get you to lake Como! and the best thing about Milan is the underground being great!

Bit late on replying on this, definitely a good price if can take a deal short notice, flights in advance are a bit pricey. was looking something for september probably best wait until week before going.
Agree on Milan, definitely overhyped (but there are plenty museums etc if thats your thing) . Stayed in Bergamo for 4 nights when there in March, Bergamo was decent and could probably of just spent a few days there. its a decent central point though for a day at other places. we done Verona, Milan, Lake Como (Lecco) and Bergamo while there. Bergamo a decent place for Train routes else where.
