A taxi from Bergamo costs around EUR 50.00 for up to 3 passengers sharing a private transfer. Since the city of Bergamo is located just a few kilometers from the airport, it take only 11 minutes to reach central Bergamo, where plenty of hotels and guesthouses cater for all tastes and budgets. In a private minivan, which must be pre-booked, up to 7 passengers can share their journey to keep down cost, making the fare to Bergamo just EUR 68.00 per vehicle.
