By Estefanía Ojea

I was in Milan for a concert, but I had an extra day before I had to go home. I chose to spend that time making a quick trip to Bergamo. It is not too far away, so it doesn't require too much planning. However, once you get there, it feels like a different world from Milan. The train ride between Milan and Bergamo is easy. It is very frequent, making it a good option if you find that you have an unexpected free day. I booked my ticket the night before using Omio to ensure that I could choose an option that would not cause me to rush in the morning. In fact, making a quick trip like that is probably the easiest way to see Bergamo. It is not too far away from Milan. It is less than an hour away by train, but it feels like a more relaxed environment.

Traditional houses in Bergamo
It is located approximately 45 kilometers from Milan, and there are trains that frequently travel from Milan to Bergamo during the day.
The shortest time taken by trains from Milan to Bergamo is approximately 40 minutes, and the average time taken is approximately 43 minutes. On an average day, there are over 80 trains that travel from Milan to Bergamo, making the trip quite convenient.
For this particular trip, my journey involved a couple of changes along the way. I left Milano Centrale at 17:20, and this marked the start of my journey on a regional train.
The first part of my journey took me through Monza. This was a short journey of about 11 minutes. After this stop, I continued my journey on another regional train towards Ponte San Pietro. Along the way, I passed through towns and industrial areas that characterized the Lombardy region.
The final part of my journey towards Bergamo began from Ponte San Pietro. I arrived at 19:03. It took me a total of 1 hour and 43 minutes.
Milano Centrale is one of the largest railway stations in Italy, but it is rarely less than busy. However, it is not too difficult to find the platform that you need to get on because the departure boards are large and easy to read.
I arrived at the station about twenty minutes before I was due to depart, and I got myself an espresso before making my way to the platform. It is just something that I do.
Bergamo station is in the lower part of the city. From there, it is easy to go further into the city towards the historic upper city, known as Città Alta, by bus, taxi, or funicular.
If you simply step outside the station, you can feel the atmosphere is less frenetic than in Milan. It is like the pace of life slows down right away.
Trains between Milan and Bergamo run very frequently. On an average day there are around 83 departures, spread across the morning, afternoon, and evening.
Because of this high frequency, planning a day trip is quite flexible and you rarely need to organize your entire schedule around train times.
The regional trains used for this route are not too complicated, and they are quite comfortable for shorter distances. There is room above the seats for smaller bags, and for the bigger ones, there is room near the doors.
Power outlets are available on the train I used, and this can be useful if you are carrying a phone or a laptop with you. However, since the distances are not too long for most people, the overall atmosphere is quite relaxed, with people reading or looking out the windows.
Train tickets on this route are relatively inexpensive. The cheapest tickets can cost around €5, while the average price is about €6 when buying on the day of travel. Booking through platforms like Omio can make it easier to compare different departures and find the best option for your schedule.

One of the easiest day trips that you can make from the city is the train ride from Milan to Bergamo. This route is easy even when you have to make a transfer.
Once you arrive in the city, it is definitely worth making the journey to the top to explore Città Alta. Walking through the streets or grabbing a coffee in the small squares is a simple but enjoyable experience to get out of Milan for the day.
