Milan-Bergamo (BGY): what kind of airport is it and where should you go after landing?

First, it is important to make one thing clear. Milan-Bergamo (BGY) is the name of an international airport, not a single city or some kind of “double” tourist destination. The terminal is located in Orio al Serio, around 5 km from Bergamo and 45 km from Milan. This is where SkyUp™ will operate Chisinau – Milan-Bergamo flights.

And this is one of those cases where the airport’s location genuinely gives you freedom. If you want to start exploring Italy straight after landing, you can head to Bergamo: the ATB bus connects BGY with the railway station, bus station, city centre, funicular, and Upper Town. If Milan is your main destination, buses run from the airport to Milano Centrale.

So the question of how to get from Chisinau to Milan (Bergamo) has a simple answer in practice: take a direct flight to the airport, then continue your journey overland according to your plans. And we would not rush to treat Bergamo as just a stop along the way. Its Upper Town, enclosed by Venetian walls, can easily become one of the most enjoyable surprises of the entire trip.

And if you are looking for Chisinau – Milan-Bergamo tickets, it is worth checking several nearby dates and comparing not only the base price but also the fare conditions. This makes it easier to plan the trip around your budget and avoid paying for services you do not need.

Interesting places worth adding to your itinerary

Landing at Milan-Bergamo Airport does not mean you have to stick to just one city. You can spend a day in Bergamo and then head to Milan, or go straight to the capital of Lombardy and return to Bergamo later. To keep your trip from turning into a race between dozens of sights, we have chosen six places that are genuinely worth starting with.

1. Piazza Vecchia, Bergamo. This is the heart of the Upper Town, surrounded by historic palaces, the Contarini Fountain, and the Campanone civic tower. Every evening at 10:00 p.m., the bell traditionally rings one hundred times — an echo of the days when this signal announced the closing of the city gates. If you are planning to buy Chisinau – Milan-Bergamo tickets for a short trip, even a few hours in the Upper Town will definitely be worth it.
2. Basilica of Santa Maria Maggiore and the Colleoni Chapel, Bergamo. They are located just a short walk from Piazza Vecchia. This is where you can really feel how compact yet rich in landmarks the historic centre is: just a few minutes on foot, and you are already moving from one era to another.
3. The Venetian Walls, Bergamo. These 16th-century fortifications surround the Upper Town for more than six kilometres and are part of a UNESCO World Heritage Site. You can walk part of the route, stopping from time to time at viewpoints overlooking the Lower Town.
4. Milan Cathedral, or the Duomo. One of Milan’s main symbols is worth seeing from more than just the square. You can go up to the cathedral rooftop and walk among its spires and sculptures. When planning your budget, keep in mind that the Chisinau – Milan-Bergamo ticket price is only one part of the overall cost, and for popular attractions it is best to check the latest visiting conditions and ticket prices in advance.
5. Brera district, Milan. After the scale of the Duomo, the atmosphere here feels completely different: narrow streets, inner courtyards, small shops, and the Pinacoteca di Brera. It is a great place to stop rushing from one sight to another and simply enjoy a walk.
6. Sforza Castle, Milan. Once a fortress and ducal residence, it now houses museum collections, while Sempione Park begins just beyond its walls. You can walk here from the Duomo through the historic centre.

If you have managed to book Chisinau – Milan-Bergamo tickets for at least three or four days, do not try to see everything at once. Set aside one day for Bergamo, another for central Milan, and keep one more day free. It is often on a day like this that you come across a café that becomes a favourite, a small museum, or a neighbourhood that was never part of your original plan.
 

A taste of Lombardy: what to try after you land

Another reason not to reduce this route to Milan alone is the food. Bergamo and Milan each have their own culinary traditions, and together they show just how varied even a single region of Italy can be.

If Chisinau – Milan-Bergamo flight tickets are already part of your plans, make sure to add casoncelli alla bergamasca to your list. This is a crescent-shaped stuffed pasta traditionally served with butter, sage, and bacon. Recipes vary from family to family, but in Bergamo the dish has long been one of the city’s culinary symbols.

Next comes polenta taragna. Butter and local cheeses are added to the cornmeal base, creating a thick, aromatic, and hearty dish. For dessert, try stracciatella: this creamy gelato with fine flakes of chocolate was invented in Bergamo in the 1960s. Another local sweet speciality is Torta Donizetti, named after the composer Gaetano Donizetti.

Once you get to Milan, try risotto alla Milanese with saffron and cotoletta alla Milanese — breaded veal traditionally cooked in butter.

So flights from Chisinau to Milan (Bergamo) can easily turn into a small culinary journey too. And here is one thing we recommend: leave at least one dinner free from any “best restaurants on social media” list. Trust us, in Italy some of the most enjoyable discoveries are often waiting just around the corner.
 

Useful details to know before departure

The less you have to think about trip logistics while you are already on the road, the more comfortable the journey will be. That is why a few things are worth checking in advance: the correct airport code, available dates, transport after arrival, and fare conditions. We have gathered the essentials so that after landing, you can move on more quickly to the more enjoyable part of the plan — enjoying Italy.

The phrase “Chisinau – Milan-Bergamo airport” means departing from RMO and arriving at BGY. Milan-Bergamo Airport should not be confused with other airports serving the Milan area, especially when booking a transfer or accommodation. In this case, the BGY code is your reliable reference point.

• Check the latest flight programme before paying. The Chisinau – Milan-Bergamo flight schedule and available dates are best checked on the official SkyUp™ website, as flight schedules may change.
• Use the details of your specific booking as your guide. If you want to know how long the Chisinau – Milan-Bergamo flight takes, check the duration of your selected flight when purchasing your ticket: this will give you the latest information for your travel date.
• Do not schedule onward transport down to the minute. The Chisinau – Milan-Bergamo flight time does not include airport procedures after arrival, so leave some extra time before your bus, train, or other transfer.
• Compare the total ticket price. It is important to check exactly what is included and which services you actually need.
• Check special offers through official channels. If you see ticket promotions, pay attention to the validity period, available dates, and the conditions of the specific offer.
• Do the same with discount codes. Promo codes for the Chisinau – Milan-Bergamo flight may have separate terms of use, so before paying, make sure the discount has been applied and the final price has changed.

One more tip we particularly recommend: save your accommodation address, booking details, and key map locations offline. In an unfamiliar city, this seems like a small thing — right up until your mobile internet stops working.
