Hotels in Bergamo: Where to Stay in 2025
Updated 25 September 2026 · 189 real hotels
Bergamo divides neatly into two worlds: the hilltop Città Alta, walled and medieval, suits travellers who want atmosphere and walkability, while Città Bassa offers better transport links and more budget flexibility. For airport convenience, the Grassobbio or Mozzo options near Orio al Serio are hard to beat.

Bergamo is one of northern Italy's most underrated cities, sitting at the foot of the Bergamasque Alps just 50 kilometres east of Milan. Its upper town, Città Alta, is a UNESCO World Heritage candidate: a compact labyrinth of cobbled lanes, Venetian-era walls, and Romanesque churches that feels genuinely preserved rather than curated for tourists. The lower town, Città Bassa, is where locals actually live, shop, and eat, built out on the plain in a grid of 19th and 20th-century avenues.
Staying in Bergamo means you are also well placed for day trips: Lake Iseo is 25 minutes away, Lake Como under an hour, and Milan reachable in under an hour by train. The city is compact enough that choosing the right neighbourhood matters more than in larger Italian cities, so it is worth thinking clearly about what kind of stay you are after before booking.
Which area to stay in Bergame?
- Città Alta: For travellers who want to wake up inside the medieval walls, stroll to breakfast past 15th-century loggias, and skip any form of transport entirely. Accommodation is limited and tends to book out early; Il Sole Bergamo (152 euros/night, rated 4.6/5) is a well-regarded option right in the upper town.
- Città Bassa (lower city centre): The practical base for most visitors. Tram and bus connections are easy, restaurants are plentiful and more affordable, and the funicular up to Città Alta is a short walk. Ciccio B&B (96 euros/night, rated 4.4/5) represents the budget-conscious end of this area.
- Around Bergamo city (general urban area): Le Funi Hotel (171 euros/night, rated 4.8/5) and Elycon House Bergamo (80 euros/night, rated 4.6/5) both sit within the broader city and suit travellers who want comfort without being locked into either the upper or lower district specifically.
- Grassobbio / Orio al Serio airport zone: Ideal for early departures, late arrivals, or travellers using Bergamo purely as a transit hub. Winter Garden Hotel near Bergamo Airport (209 euros/night, rated 4.5/5) offers four-star comfort with direct airport proximity.
- Mozzo (Bergamo West): A quieter suburban position west of the city, good for drivers or those attending events at local business parks. LVG Hotel Collection Bergamo West (154 euros/night, rated 4.3/5) fits this profile.
- Trescore Balneario (surrounding valley): A small spa town about 15 kilometres from central Bergamo, offering a slower pace and countryside feel. Boutique Hotel Roma 30 (88 euros/night, rated 4.9/5) is the standout option here, with the highest guest rating in this selection.
Good to know
- Use the funicular, not your legs, for the first ascent: The funicular connecting Città Bassa to Città Alta runs frequently and saves a steep 20-minute climb. A second funicular continues up to San Vigilio if you want the highest viewpoint. Both accept standard city transport tickets.
- Orio al Serio is a major low-cost hub: Ryanair and other carriers use Bergamo Airport (BGY) heavily. If you are flying in, confirm whether your flight lands at BGY or Milan Malpensa (MXP), as both serve the region but require completely different transfer plans.
- Book Città Alta accommodation early: The number of hotels and B&Bs inside the walls is small. In summer (June to August) and during the Jazz Festival in autumn, rooms fill weeks or months ahead. Città Bassa has more availability and more last-minute flexibility.
- Spring and early autumn are the most comfortable seasons: July and August can be humid and hot on the plain. April, May, September, and October offer mild temperatures, clearer skies for the mountain backdrop, and fewer crowds on the main sights.
- A car is useful only outside the city: Inside Città Alta, cars are restricted and parking is genuinely difficult. For Trescore Balneario, Mozzo, or day trips into the valleys, having a vehicle makes sense. For central Bergamo, the tram line connecting the station to Città Bassa and the funicular network cover most needs.
What to know about hotels in Bergame?
What is the best area to stay in Bergamo for first-time visitors?+
Città Alta is the most atmospheric choice and puts you immediately inside the historic core, but it books up fast and costs more. Città Bassa is the more practical base: good transport, wider dining options, and easy funicular access to the upper town. Most first-timers who balance sightseeing with comfort end up happiest in the lower city.
How do I get from Bergamo Airport (Orio al Serio) to the city centre?+
The Autobus ATB airport shuttle runs regularly between Orio al Serio and Bergamo's central bus station, with the journey taking roughly 15 minutes. Taxis are available but considerably more expensive. There is no direct train connection between the airport and the city centre.
What is the best time of year to visit Bergamo?+
Late spring (April to early June) and early autumn (September to October) offer the best combination of mild weather, good visibility toward the Alps, and manageable crowds. Summer is lively but can be humid; winter is cold yet quiet, and Città Alta has a certain charm under occasional snow.
What is the average hotel price in Bergamo?+
Based on available properties, nightly rates in Bergamo range from around 80 euros for a well-rated guesthouse up to 209 euros for a four-star airport hotel. Mid-range options with strong reviews cluster between 150 and 175 euros per night. Trescore Balneario, slightly outside the city, offers the most affordable highly-rated option in this selection at 88 euros per night.
Is Bergamo a good base for day trips to the Italian Lakes?+
Yes, Bergamo is one of the better-positioned bases for the lakes. Lake Iseo is around 25 to 30 minutes by car, Lake Como roughly 50 to 60 minutes, and Lake Garda accessible in under 90 minutes. Milan is also under an hour by train from Bergamo station, making the city a practical hub for a multi-destination northern Italy trip.
