Bergamo ( Italy )
So this time
i can share some details about my stay in Italy ( Bergamo ) , sadly i stayed
there only few days , but i still managed
to enjoy .
And i took
few photos on the way . So i arrived
late on evening 11 pm Milan Bergamo airport
. Out of plane and straight to the bus . Bus brought us to arrivals
point and there was quick security . Luggage was there in 5 minutes ( Much faster
than some other airports ) . Then i head out and there was a lot of stands with
bus info and prices that you can straight purchase ticket to your destination .
Including Milan central and Bergamo central . So i got my ticket to Bergamo
(Price 2 euro ) . Had to wait a while for bus . Bus journey to Bergamo central
lasted 15 minutes maximum and stops at train station ( Which is not very secure
area (so other say ) ) and then next stop is just in middle of city . Very nice
area (On the main street ) So i head to hostel i booked ( Central hostel BG
) . got there in 5 minutes . At
reception was very kind Italian female who answered all my questions very clear
and even gave her ID card to to go out on street and buy cigarettes ( To buy
cigarettes in Italy t night you have to have Italian ID card . So i went out
got my smokes + pizza from near by restaurant and can of sprite . ( Paid all together 8 euro ) Great price . I took pizza back to hostel and had my dinner
. I set up “ wake up “ call at reception and head to room . Next morning i got
up at 6 am and later at 7:30 went to breakfast . By 8 i was out in streets . In
Bergamo it is very easy to orientate . There is one bug street in the middle
and in middle of that street is so called old
city gate . So- not confusing . I got bus to near by city ( ticket costs
only 1.20). City is on hill so you can easy see all area around that street (
Beautiful) Then walked all the way back
( took me around 50 minutes with relaxed walk) and then by hostel i stopped at “ Gelateria “ (
Italian ice cream shop ) and i got my lovely Cofee/Bacio ice cream ( you just have to try it ) .Other day i went to Milano and had few hours in city ! Visit was nice , but in few hours only thing i noticed is hat Milano is very expensive . Then i head
back to my lovely hostel and and pack and go. Got bust to airport just around
corner form hostel (and ticket can by in hostel – 2 euro) . So I had great short visit .
Few tips :In shops and
restaurants only few people speak English , so just get your translation book
with you JThey have
some interesting monuments in city ( I did not really get meaning of them , but
surely they are not the same as all others )
Please see
pictures attached ( if you know meaning feel free to post )I found
interesting fact that you can see a lot of older people ,people wearing suits , and not that much
young people in Bergamo It made me wonder – is it a good place for crowd in
their 20s ?.
Small kiosks
are everywhere with sign “ T” ( you can get there everything starting from
drinks, stamps , postcards, souvenirs, cigarettes and much more ...Architecture
is just beautiful there . I really
enjoyed different looks of buildings .
If you are
out in around 10 am in morning – feel free to drop in any church – That`s the
time when people are gathering in church . Could be interesting experience ( I
enjoyed 10 minutes with everyone together )
Be more
careful around train station
By the way in
some Italian bathrooms to open tab for water to flow you have to press pedal
under the sink , or to flash water in toilet there is black boll like thing to
press with you shoe again – lovely!And by the
way Central Hostel BG is great , clean ,
bright , comfy rooms , internet Wi-Fi and computer with no extra charge , phone – no extra charge , nice breakfast ,
Great staff , smoking area , bar inside , lounge , baggage storage .. I is def
worth the money !!That’s all
for now !Will keep you
updated !
