Bergamo is convenient for Iseo, Lecco and the old town
If your plans are at Lake Iseo, the eastern side of Lake Como, or Bergamo's medieval upper town, this airport can be closer than Malpensa. For central Milan it is a long ride after a late flight, so a pre-booked driver removes the last-minute search for a ride.
