Bergamo is situated in the middle of Lombardy, in the very heart of Northern Italy: from here it is easy to reach Milan, Brescia and Venice as well as Iseo, Garda and Como lakes. Bergamo’s airport at Orio al Serio known as “Caravaggio” is only 5 km away from the town and its train station from where you can reach Milan, Lecco, Treviglio and Brescia. The Bergamo entrance to the highway A4 which links Bergamo with Turin, Milan and Venice is close-by. In the town itself, the public transport system ATB takes you everywhere including the two cable car passages from the Lower Town to the Upper Town and from the Upper Town to the San Vigilio hill.
