Mentioned on 
+13 other lists 
The Palazzo Farnese is a magnificent Renaissance palace located in the heart of Rome. This architectural masterpiece was originally designed by Antonio da Sangallo the Younger and later completed by Michelangelo. The palazzo houses an impressive collection of art, including works by renowned artists such as Carracci, Titian, and Raphael. Its grandeur and historical significance make it a must-visit attraction for anyone interested in art, architecture, and history.
(Translated by Google) Just by seeing it as you get closer you realize its majesty from how big it is. Inside is a museum rich in history, culture, etc... To then finish the tour in the carriage rooms of the time. And there too, truly majestic as people once traveled. (Original) Già solo a vederlo mentre ti avvicini ti rendo conto della sua maestosità da come è grande. Al suo interno un museo ricco di storia, coltura, ecc... Per poi finire il tour nelle sale delle carrozze di allora. E anche li, veramente maestose di come si viaggiava un tempo.

(Translated by Google) For now only seen from the outside... and it is, truly imposing and majestic... I believe that if they had finished it what it would have become... in any case if you are in the area, stop by, even just to see it from the outside.

The staff at the ticket office and in the rooms are extremely courteous and competent. Absolutely not to be missed. (Original) Semplicemente pazzesco una collezione infinita di reperti archeologici, dipinti, stucchi, statue lignee, splendide carrozze da far girare la testa e tanto altro...noi in 6 ore non siamo riusciti a vedere tutto!! Il personale alla biglietteria e nelle sale è estremamente cortese e competente. Assolutamente da non perdere.

(Translated by Google) Architecture • Style: Monumental Renaissance, simple and stately. • The building is massive, with a stark brick façade and a large inner courtyard. • It was never fully completed – two more wings were originally planned. ⸻ 🖼️ Museums and exhibitions inside Palazzo Farnese 1. Musei Civici di Piacenza – Municipal Museums: They occupy a large part of the palace and include: 🛡️ Medieval and Renaissance Museum • Armor, weapons, elements of sacred architecture, sarcophagi, and insignia of power. 🖌️ Pinacoteca (Picture Gallery) • Paintings from the 13th to the 18th centuries, including works by Botticelli, Procaccini, Van Dyck, and Carracci. 🛕 Archaeological Museum • The famous Bronze Age chariot (Carro di Piacenza) – a unique artifact from the 8th century BC in Europe. • Etruscan and Roman exhibits. 📜 Museum of Documents and Maps • Historical books, documents, seals, and maps of Piacenza. ⸻ Beautiful ruin xD 🎯 Why is it worth visiting? • It's not just a palace, but a whole capsule of the history of Piacenza and the region – from prehistory to the Baroque. • You can feel the power and ambition of the Farnese family, who produced a pope (Paul III) and dreamed of creating their own duchy. (Original) Architektura • Styl: renesans monumentalny, prosty i dostojny. • Budynek jest ogromny, z surową ceglaną fasadą i dużym dziedzińcem wewnętrznym. • Nigdy nie został w pełni ukończony – pierwotnie planowano dwa skrzydła więcej. ⸻ 🖼️ Muzea i ekspozycje wewnątrz Palazzo Farnese 1.

Piazza dei Cavalli

Mentioned on 
13 lists 
Plaza
The main feature of this public square is a collection of statues with an equestrian theme. Situated amidst grand buildings, it stands alongside other notable squares like Piazza Duomo. The two equestrian sculptures by Mochi at Palazzo Gotico provide a distinctive backdrop to Piazza Cavalli, which has become the city's emblem. In addition to this, there are several other noteworthy sites worth exploring in the vicinity.
Piacenza is an average size town but its centre is just magnificent. Stunning buildings, art,history and culture lots of restaurants and bars to stop by for food and drinks. Perfect for day put if you are in this area.

(Translated by Google) The Gothic Palace, or Town Hall, is an icon of Piacenza, dominating Piazza Cavalli with its majestic medieval architecture. Built in the 13th century, it combines the elegance of Lombard Gothic architecture with the warmth of Piacenza brick and stone. A symbol of the era's civic power, it now hosts events and exhibitions, serving as the vibrant beating heart of the city. (Original) Il Palazzo Gotico, o Palazzo Comunale, è un'icona di Piacenza che domina Piazza Cavalli con la sua maestosa architettura medievale. Costruito nel XIII secolo, unisce l'eleganza del gotico lombardo al calore del mattone piacentino e della pietra. Simbolo del potere civile dell'epoca, oggi ospita eventi e mostre, fungendo da vibrante cuore pulsante della città.

(Translated by Google) Piacenza's ancient town hall, also known as "the Gothic," is a remarkable example of medieval architecture. Built in the 13th century in the Lombard Gothic style, it features a marble loggia and arches on the ground floor. The main floor is in terracotta, embellished with triple lancet windows and crowned with swallow-tailed battlements. A niche in the portico houses a statue of the Madonna and Child, contemporary with the building. The large meeting room on the first floor is open only for temporary events and performances. (Original) L'antico palazzo comunale di Piacenza, noto anche come "il Gotico", è un esempio notevole di architettura medioevale. L'edificio fu edificato nel tredicesimo secolo, secondo lo stile gotico lombardo. Simbolo del potere cittadino, esso si presenta con un loggiato marmoreo e archi al pian terreno. Il piano nobile è in cotto, abbellito da trifore e coronato da merlatura a coda di rondine. In una nicchia del portico è inserita la statua di una Madonna col Bambino, coeva al palazzo. La grande sala delle riunioni al primo piano è aperta solo per eventi e manifestazioni temporanee.

(Translated by Google) The façade of the Palazzo Gotico in Piacenza is an excellent example of northern Italian secular Gothic – striking, symmetrical, and highly geometric. Below are its detailed characteristics: ⸻ 🎨 Characteristics of the Façade of the Palazzo Gotico (Piacenza) 🧱 1. Materials and Colors • Red brick dominates the upper part of the façade – typical of Lombard Gothic. • White marble in the lower section creates a strong contrast – elegant, decorative, typical of urban architecture from the late 13th century. ⸻ 🏛 2. Horizontal Division (Two-Story Composition) 🔸 Lower Floor (Loggia): • Consists of six large pointed-arch arcades supported by massive marble columns with simple capitals. • This is an open public space – typical of Gothic town halls in Italy (broletto). 🔸 Upper Floor: • Built of brick, with rhythmically arranged tripartite pointed-arch windows (so-called biforia or triforia with tracery). • The windows have a light, openwork structure that breaks the heaviness of the structure. ⸻ 🧱 3. Cornice and Battlement (Clanterns) • The façade is crowned with a decorative battlement – a row of brick "teeth" (merlons), giving the building a fortified character. • Symbolically refers to the strength of the city's power. ⸻ 🛡 4. Heraldic Elements and Inscriptions • The façade displays the coats of arms of the city of Piacenza and the nobles. • A foundation inscription from 1281, recalling the founder – Alberto Scotto, is often found there. (Original) Fasada Palazzo Gotico w Piacenzy to doskonały przykład północnowłoskiego gotyku świeckiego – efektowna, symetryczna i silnie zgeometryzowana. Poniżej jej szczegółowa charakterystyka: ⸻ 🎨 Charakterystyka fasady Palazzo Gotico (Piacenza) 🧱 1. Materiały i kolorystyka • Czerwona cegła dominuje w górnej części fasady — typowe dla gotyku lombardzkiego. • Biały marmur w dolnej partii tworzy silny kontrast – elegancki, dekoracyjny, typowy dla budownictwa miejskiego z końca XIII wieku. ⸻ 🏛 2. Podział poziomy (dwukondygnacyjna kompozycja) 🔸 Dolna kondygnacja (loggia): • Tworzy ją sześć dużych ostrołukowych arkad, wspartych na masywnych marmurowych kolumnach z prostymi kapitelami. • To otwarta przestrzeń publiczna — typowa dla gotyckich ratuszy we Włoszech (broletto). 🔸 Górna kondygnacja: • Zbudowana z cegły, z rytmicznie rozmieszczonymi trójdzielnymi oknami ostrołukowymi (tzw. biforia lub triforia z maswerkami). • Okna mają lekką, ażurową strukturę, która przełamuje ciężkość bryły. ⸻ 🧱 3. Gzyms i krenelaż (blankowanie) • Fasadę wieńczy dekoracyjny krenelaż – rząd ceglanych „zębów” (merlonów), nadający budowli warowny charakter. • Symbolicznie odwołuje się do siły władzy miejskiej. ⸻ 🛡 4. Elementy heraldyczne i inskrypcje • Na fasadzie widoczne są herby miasta Piacenzy i możnowładców. • Często znajduje się tam napis fundacyjny z 1281 roku, przypominający o fundatorze – podescie Alberto Scotto.

(Original) Ho fatto visita alla Basilica di San Savino dopo tanti anni che abito a Piacenza, non l'avevo ancora vista, ma meritava davvero una visita una Chiesa con una storia millenaria visto che la prima costruzione è stata fatta nel 903, la parte più bella della Chiesa e sicuramente la cripta con il suo splendido pavimento a mosaico

(Translated by Google) place of worship, over the centuries with considerable importance both as a monastery and a church.. a severe and solemn appearance as befits the Benedictine order. Women and rulers always held it with the right importance. The sale in Germany (Dresden) of the alleged painting by Raphael was a bit mocking, at the time it helped the monastery's coffers... But now on site it would be a source of not only artistic wealth. I recommend the visit (Original) luogo di culto, nei secoli con una notevole importanza sia come monastero che chiesa.. aspetto sevoro e solenne come si addice all'ordine Benedettino. Donne e regnanti la tennero sempre con la giusta importanza. Un po' beffarda la vendita in Germania (Dresda) del quadro presunto del Raffaello, allora aiutò le casse del monastero...

Cattedrale Santa Maria Assunta e Santa Giustina

Cathedral
Museums
The Cattedrale Santa Maria Assunta e Santa Giustina is a stunning Romanesque cathedral established in 1122. It boasts a magnificent fresco-adorned dome which can be accessed via a steep climb. The interior decoration is exceptional, and there is an impressive wind organ to marvel at. Additionally, the crypt beneath the altar houses a chapel supported by numerous pillars.
The cathedral is splendid, yet after visiting many other churches in Piacenza and viewing what by now seemed like everyday artwork, which, in fact, could only be described as masterpieces, one was visually exhausted. Yet, yet, yet the sheer height of the cathedral is overwhelming. Filled, as it is with art, the effect is stunning. (It seems that almost every road within the old city has a church, and every one of them is filled with art, nay masterpieces).

Beautiful facade and outstanding frescoes in the crossing and presbytery.
DAVID S — Google review
During its history the cathedral was host to several minor composers as maestro di cappella including Francesco Maria Bazzani, and Giuseppe Nicolini. The interior has a nave and two aisles, divided by twenty-five massive pillars. Its noteworthy frescoes were made in the 14th-16th centuries by Camillo Procaccini and Ludovico Carracci, while the frescos inside the dome are by Pier Francesco Mazzucchelli, "il Morazzone", and Giovanni Francesco Barbieri, best known as "Guercino". The presbytery has a wooden sculpture from 1479, wooden choirstalls by Giangiacomo da Genova (1471) and 15th-century statues of the Lombard school. Few remains can be traced of the earlier paleochristian basilica, as Piacenza was razed by Totila in 546, during the Gothic War. The crypt, on the Greek cross plan, has 108 Romanesque small columns and is home to the relics of Santa Giustina, Saint Justina of Padua, who was co-patron of Piacenza from the ninth century; to her was dedicated the first cathedral, Domus Justinae, which collapsed in 1117 after an earthquake.

I enjoyed the meal at Taverna Rabarbaro, finding it to be a satisfactory dining experience. While the hype surrounding the restaurant may be exaggerated, being in New York City offers a multitude of diverse food options that can make it challenging to critique establishments when away from home. In this regard, Taverna Rabarbaro holds up well within its location.
Loved everything about it...a very creative and refined way to refurbish a laundry place into a bar/restaurant ..and instagrammable too 😉 the dishes were exquisite and truly special. Wished that the wine list would have been a tiny bit more extensive, maybe adding also some local or Italian wines but whenever in Piacenza, I will return for sure ❤️

The waiter was extremely unfriendly, even to our children. Understandably they don’t speak English. But they practically spit on you for not speaking Italian. I usually don’t write reviews but I had to for this one. Do not come here as a tourist. They don’t want you there.

IMPECCABLE! The BEST tiramisu of my life (and I have tried many, believe me)! I can’t recommend it enough, really. The carbonara is authentic, delicious and the portions are HUGE. So go there when you are hungry and want a really good meal. The service was amazing. It’s like a family feeling. The place is a gem, I shall end like this.

It is a humble seeming place and location, but the food here is cooked with love and passion that is both nourishing and delicious. I have lived in Piacenza for two years but prior to last week I had never been to this place. Since that time, I returned almost every day with my parents, who both enjoyed this restaurant and insisted that we go back again. I was taken aback at first because of the quality; this place seems as though it would belong on the side of the road in a hill town somewhere, and not in the city of Piacenza. There is both a standard menu and a list of daily specials. I tried both and so far everything has been outstanding. The raviolis and pastas (tortelli, in particular) are my favorites, but I don't think you can go wrong. I also appreciate the ease with which you can order a decent salad here. The lunch service with Deborah was also excellent. It gets pretty crowded for lunch, but I haven't been for dinner. I hope to return in a few months.

Trattoria Da Vittorio is an absolute gem of an Italian restaurant. From the moment I stepped inside, I felt like I had been transported to Italy. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, with rustic decor that exudes charm. The restaurant's cozy ambiance sets the perfect stage for a delightful dining experience. The menu at Trattoria Da Vittorio is a true testament to authentic Italian cuisine. Each dish is a masterpiece of flavor and craftsmanship. The ingredients are fresh, and the attention to detail in the preparation is evident. One of the standout dishes was the homemade pasta. The pasta was cooked to perfection, and the sauces were rich and bursting with flavor. It was like a culinary journey through Italy with every bite. The service was top-notch, with attentive staff who were passionate about their food and happy to offer recommendations. It added to the overall enjoyment of the meal. Whether you're a fan of pasta, or classic Italian desserts, Trattoria Da Vittorio has something to satisfy every palate. I left the restaurant with a full heart and a satisfied appetite, and I can't wait to return for another unforgettable meal. This restaurant is a true hidden treasure for lovers of Italian cuisine.

The staff are welcoming and amiable, while the chef exhibits excellent knowledge of their ingredients, delivering prideful and uncomplicated culinary creations. This delightful restaurant was recommended by the hotel grande albergo di Roma staff as an unexpected gem. Although one diner noted that the waitress could have been friendlier, overall it was a good experience.
an excellent lunch! everything we tried was fantastic. we started with typical cold cuts that melted in our mouths and gnocco fritto, freshly made and probably the best I’ve ever had. bread and condiments were on the house, with plenty of refills. the tortelli and tagliatelle were both delicious, and even the vegetables were packed with flavor. to top it all off, dessert was amazing. the service was kind but a bit rushed, they almost took my plate while i was still eating. aside from that, it was a great experience, and I’d definitely recommend it to anyone looking to enjoy some delicious local food.

Ate here nearly 3 weeks ago. It was amazing from start to finish. The coperto included a prosecco, a plate of antipasti hams and salami before the meal and fruit , nuts and limoncello to follow. Andrea, the owner also included the coffees. The food was wonderful, based on local specialities and more was on offer than the actual menu. It was a truly memorable meal. We were so impressed that we immediately booked a table for the following Sunday. Grazie Andrea.

Excellent value, the EUR 3 coperto included some cold cuts, starters, as well as a glass of bubbly. The portions are generous, so one 1st or 2nd course suffices. I think I wasn't lucky with my main course choice today -- horse steak -- which was a bit chewy, though...

Slow service and the restaurant isn't even full, we have been waiting with a mountain of dishes on the table for 20 minutes now, seems like they avoid our table. We had a good experience the first time around but even the one that welcomed us in was rude this time. Because the table that she told us to sit as was busy we sat down at another table and 5 minutes later she comes to tell us “this table is reserved but since you sat down stay here” like it was my fault the table she told us to sit down at was busy… no sign of reserved at said table tho.

A Major Letdown – Crudo Piacenza Has Lost Its Spark I’m honestly so disappointed. Crudo used to be one of my favorite spots in Piacenza — I’ve been here before and absolutely loved the food, the vibe, and the experience. That’s why I was so excited to bring three of my close friends this time. I had hyped it up to them, and we were all rushing to make it on time, arriving around 10:30 PM. But what we walked into was nothing like the Crudo I remembered. There was a long line of people waiting, and just one single person handling the entire front — no coordination, no communication, no organization. It completely threw off the mood. We had to leave almost immediately. It felt like a low-effort operation trying to survive on a high-end image. The energy, the service, the welcome — it was all off. To make things worse, the last time I was there, the person at the client service desk was shockingly rude — not at all what you’d expect from a place like this. Thankfully, the other staff members were kind and polite, but still — the contrast was jarring. I wanted this visit to be a beautiful night of sharing a favorite spot with my friends. Instead, I walked away embarrassed, disappointed, and unsure if I’ll ever come back. Crudo, I hope you get your spark back — because this was not it.

I have read the reviews of others how have eaten here and I do find myself surprised, per se, to have read such glowing feedback. Yes, the food was fine and yes, the staff very cordial and attentive. My problem, here, is not the food but how "technological" the restaurant was, in general. The menu, as I know they are in some other restaurants, is digital and has to be uploaded into one's phone in order to see what there is on the "menu" and to then order, digitally. I may be older than some but I am hardly ancient and know how my phone works, etc...but there is something most definitely lacking in an "all you can eat" sushi restaurant that gives a time table in order to order each round of food, which I believe was 6 minutes....and then, as you order, each portion one eats is not clear as I thought i was ordering for myself, not for my companion and I until a message popped up that I had to stop as I was exceeding the limit??!! I believed I had ordered some California Rolls for myself only to find I had ordered for us both and had to wait a few minutes in order to continue. it was so confusing, for me. My dining companion went to order and he couldn't as I had used up our "appetizer" limit. Well, I left it in my companion's hands at that point to order for us both, as he knows what I like and what I do not. There might be expediency in this type of menu and ordering but I feel that it makes the dining experience, which might sound old fashioned, lacking. I have been a waiter, often, in NYC, working while in school, in between jobs, etc..and one of the nice things about it was building a mini relationship between me and the guests but here, in this type of "techno dining", that is not possible and questions, in my opinion, would not have been appreciated, though the staff, in the few seconds they were bringing plates of sushi to the table, seemed accommodating. One must be ready for this "Jetsons" sort of restaurant and be at least somewhat tech savvy to understand it. The food we did order was OK, though some dishes, like simple Tempura, as it was server here, completely unknown to me. I am glad to have had the experience to know that I do not want to have it again. So, food was good and fresh. Cannot comment on the service, in truth, as the only interactions with the staff were drop offs and pick ups. When I did mention, when paying and asked if everything was OK, that I would not be returning because I felt the meal, which could have been and indeed, should be an intimate experience was completely off in my eyes, the server who was taking the money did not seem to appreciate my feedback, which simply reinforced my decision to not return to this restaurant and to check before going to any other restaurant, now, if the menu is fixed or will internet be needed in order to view the choices and order the food. Again, I might be "old fashioned" but am not old. I just know what makes a dining experience, an actual "experience. Cheers!

The service and the environment were good but the tapas were not accurate with their name. The Chicken croquetas were basically chicken nuggets and the Cod croquetas were fried pieces of cod (Spanish croquetas are mainly composed of a béchamel sauce and a man ingredient, chicken, ham, cod or etc.). The price was quite expensive given the size of the tapas.

(Translated by Google) Authentic Spanish cuisine in Piacenza. From the classic Valencian paella to the simpler vegetarian one, adding the inevitable tapas and sangria which combines everything well. A simply stellar dinner. I also compliment the unexpectedly good desserts: I didn't remember the creme brulee being so delicious; Plus, I didn't expect that the fig and vanilla ice cream pairing would be my favorite course of all I serve. It makes me want to return to this place soon even just for this dessert. The service was also much appreciated: you can see that the waiter cares about what he does. Always ready to intervene and friendly during the management of everything. I have never been "full" in every sense at the end of a dinner as I was in this case. We can't wait to try the rest the menu has to offer. (Original) L'autentica cucina spagnola a Piacenza. Dalla paella classica valenciana a quella più semplice vegetariana, aggiungendoci le immancabili tapas e la sangria che ben concilia tutto. Una cena semplicemente stellare. Faccio i miei complimenti anche per i dolci inaspettatamente buoni: non ricordavo che la crema catalana fosse così deliziosa; in più, non mi aspettavo che l'abbinamento fichi e gelato alla vaniglia sarebbe stata la mia portata preferita di tutto io servizio. Mi viene voglia di tornare presto in questo locale anche solo per tale dessert. Molto apprezzato anche il servizio: si vede che il cameriere ci tiene a quello che fa. Sempre pronto a intervenire e cordiale durante la gestione del tutto. Mai stata "piena" in tutti i sensi alla fine di una cena così come lo sono stata in questo caso. Non vediamo l'ora di provare il resto che il menù ha da offrire.

(Translated by Google) In the heart of old Piacenza, a clean and characteristic place. Sociable and young staff. I took the Valencian paella, a more than adequate portion but I found it a little tasty (and it goes according to taste) and honestly nothing special. It could be compared to that of the Conad deli counter. I won't go back. Important thing: they accept dogs 🐶 and are very scrupulous with the ingredient tables for allergies (which is not trivial) (Original) Nel cuore della vecchia Piacenza, locale pulito e caratteristico. Personale socievole e giovane. Ho preso la paella valenciana, porzione più che adeguata ma l’ho trovata un poco saporita (e li va a gusti) e onestamente nulla di che.

This Milan Airport (LIN) was very convenient if you plan to stay close to the Metropolitan Downtown Shopping area or close to the Buenos Aires Shopping district. It is smaller than Malpansa (MXP), which is also further away from the Metro area. Baggage pick-up area can be a little confusing so be sure to look for your correct flight carousel before discovering you were standing in the wrong area the whole time! Also, have comfortable walking shoes on as parking is across the street and multiple levels. Cool airport overall!

So far all my experiences in the 3 airports of Milan have always been pleasant. They have almost all the things needed for a flight. Linate is nothing wow but functioning quite ok. We parked for a lot of time but was not asked to move out. The airport staffs I encountered were all ok.

While disembarking was very quick, the mandatory route that forces passengers to walk through the shopping area before boarding isn’t very pleasant. I understand it might increase shopping rates, but most of the stores were empty anyway. It would be much better if we could reach the gate faster without that unnecessary detour.

Well designed airport. You don't have to walk much to get to the boarding gates, and security checks are pretty quick. I would give 5 stars if they had water fountains. By the way the boarder control is much quicker when done by humans rather than automatic machines, those machines are definitely not an improvement right now.

Nearly flawless urban airport. Excellent rail access to the city center on the 4, which terminates at the airport. Modern, clean, well-lit, and well-maintained. Staffed by highly professional and courteous personnel, and with modern baggage scanners and policies that allow you to keep most of your items inside your carry-on. Some airports still require you to take electronics/fluids out of your bag for no apparent reason, but not Milan Linate. Incredibly efficient while maintaining public safety. Selection of restaurants and cafes available both inside and outside security, and there are many water fountains throughout the terminal. One nit is that sensors in the bathrooms seem to be overly sensitive, causing toilets to flush almost continuously during use. Nevertheless a model airport. Every airport in the world could learn a thing or two from their staff and management.

Small Hard to find a taxi Either you have to wait in a long queue or use an app to have a taxi The bus ticket vending machine is complicated

Arriving in Genoa is fantastic, the view is unique and it seems you are landing on a pier on the port.

Small and efficient, clean and renovated. Just one thing: more flights available needed!! It's unbelievable that a city of more than 500K people has one of the smallest airport in the whole Country.

Good airport that is a bit smaller, but has most of what you could need. Clean toilets and departure hall

Genoa Airport (GOA) is a charming, compact gateway to the stunning Ligurian coast. Its small size makes for quick check-ins and easy navigation, with friendly staff adding a warm touch. The facilities are clean, and the views of the sea during takeoff and landing are breathtaking. While dining options are limited, the convenience and efficiency make it a pleasant start or end to any trip to Genoa!

This is a fairly outdated and small airport. It is difficult to reach with public transport as there are few busses per day, only local slow trains stop nearby and the information is difficult to find. At the moment (October 2025) there is only seats for 250 people in the gates hall. I counted 6 toilets for men. My gate had no seats. We were put in a line to be checked for our boarding cards then left in line to access the bridge to the plane that was closed. No air conditioning. People are scouting for places to sit all the time and toilets get filthy very fast.

Il Caravaggio International Airport

International airport
Airport
Milan Bergamo Airport is a large airport mainly served by budget airlines, offering bus connections to various regional destinations like Milan, Venice, and Verona. Many travelers head straight to their destinations without exploring Bergamo itself, which is a mistake considering the city's highlights can be seen in just one day. The airport may be smaller than expected but has a cute ambiance with surprising features like a grand piano in one of the lounge areas.
One of the best airports in Europe. Very busy but always clean and tidy. Lots of shops. Security checks are extremely fast even if there is a kong queue. The airport is constantly expanding. Also, it is one of the biggest Engineering bases for Ryanair aircrafts which are mostly predominant here.

Bergamo Airport serves as a practical and accessible hub for travelers in the Schengen area. Upon arrival, our experience was smooth and efficient. Since we were traveling within the Schengen zone, there was no passport control, which made the exit process quick. Within minutes, we were outside the terminal — a huge plus, especially when traveling with a child. Unfortunately, the return experience didn’t match the positive first impression. After completing the boarding process, we were kept waiting for more than 10 minutes for the shuttle bus to the aircraft. The situation was made worse by the lack of seating in the boarding area. My daughter had fallen asleep in my arms, and standing in a crowded space with no place to sit made the wait feel much longer. The real issue, however, was the poor organization and lack of professionalism from the ground staff. There was no explanation for the delay, no assistance offered to families, and no effort made to improve comfort during the wait. Managing luggage and a sleeping child without any support or clear communication was stressful and avoidable with better planning on the airport’s part. While Bergamo Airport is efficient when things go smoothly, it lacks the infrastructure and service quality to handle even minor disruptions comfortably — especially for families or travelers with specific needs. It’s a functional airport, ideal for short trips and solo travelers, but it falls short on care and customer service when it matters most. In summary, Bergamo Airport performs well on arrivals but needs significant improvement in its ground operations and family support during departures.

Despite our flight landing on time, we were forced to sit inside the plane for nearly 30 minutes waiting for a bus to the terminal — which is literally a 3-minute drive. We could have reached it faster on foot. The terminal experience was even worse. Passport control took over an hour to get through. Just to put it in perspective: it took 2 hours to fly from Turkey to Italy, and another 2 hours just to get off the plane and enter the airport. Everything moves unbelievably slowly, and no one seems to care. A very disappointing welcome to Italy

Milan's Bergamo Airport is neat, clean and efficient. With the Orio Centre Shopping Mall positioned a stones throw away, it helps with access to some good Italian eateries and shopping experiences. However, there are a few good restaurants, takeaways and coffee places in the airport itself, so you won't fall short of getting something good to eat or drink. Theres also a book store and newspaper outlet, and several car rental agencies within the complex. The toilets are clean, security and passport control seems efficient and overall, the experience was pleasant. Of added value was the ease of access to the local taxi and bus service, and the cordial Italian welcome.

Nice welcome at the airport with beer store!!Long hallways, only cafes open at 4:00 in the morning (an not all of them - only a couple - most of them open at 4:30), clean toilets at that time - dont know about pick hours, Polite staff willing to help! Oriocenter shipping mall is exactly opposite to the airport which is good for those who have long waiting hours until their flight

So if you travel in the morning and you want to wait for the flight you have to find a seat that is limited, no charging for phone, no toilets and you can just look thru security at the empty seats… terible terible terible service. You cant even pay for better Lounge

Complete mess. We waited for passport control for more than 2 hours. The employees are very slow and angry. However, returning home was very fast and friendly from the Raynair employees. That's why I gave it 1 more star.

Avoid this airport and any in Milan at all cost. We had a ticket to transfer and we were still forced out to the floor as there were no seats. Last time was Malpensa but back in 2005 as a child I just remember my dad managed to get €500 per passenger so €1,500 for the family as there was no access to food and drink when the airport "closes" until the following morning. Unless you want to lie on a cold floor then avoid especially with a family! Staff don't know when check in opens 1 says 2.30am and another says 3 but their information online says 2 for a 5 am flight which is the first flight out. Also, lots of flies made me really sick and uncomfortable! At 1.30 two random passengers let through while the crowds increased making it unsafe for families. It seems they pick and choose who they let through!
