Car & Van Hire - Bergamo

Enterprise car hire locations - Bergamo

Located in northern Italy, close to the Swiss border, Bergamo is an attractive city in the heart of Lombardy that makes a superb base to discover the wider region. Quality car hires are served by Enterprise Rent-A-Car from its outlet at Orio al Serio International Airport, as well several branch locations throughout Milan, including one at the central railway station and another in the downtown area of Sesto San Giovanni. Whichever airport you arrive at, driving is recommended for maximum convenience, especially since Bergamo's Old Town, or Città Alta, is located just a few miles down the road from the main transport hubs. Much of the lower part of the city is sprawling and is best explored by car. As such, a car hire in Bergamo makes sense, whether you intend to explore the wider area of Lombardy or stay in the city itself. The narrow streets of Città Alta are open to traffic, although many of the lanes are one-way. The city has a great reputation for its culture, with an established annual jazz festival and a number of theatrical spaces, large and small.

Attractions In Bergamo

The Città Alta, which overlooks the more modern city of Bergamo that sits below it, should not be missed. It is fortified by Venetian walls and features a glorious late 17th-century cathedral, with many later modifications. A mediaeval citadel was built to protect the city and it's well worth a visit, too. Lower Bergamo is known for its excellent shopping district. Situated so close to the fashion powerhouse of Milan, this part of the city is full of trendy clothes shops. For lovers of art, the Accademia Carrara, located just off Via San Tomaso, is full of visual masterpieces.

A short and picturesque drive along the Val Brembana will bring visitors to this charming riverside town, which is famous for its sparkling mineral drinks. The stunning Lake Como is also a great place to visit outside Bergamo city. The town of Lecco, which overlooks the lake's southernmost tip, is about 45 minutes away.

Parking And Traffic Information In Bergamo

Lower Bergamo is laid out in a grid-like system, making it relatively easy to navigate around. Some free on-street parking is available, but hard to find in popular places, like the Città Alta. Nonetheless, the city boasts plenty of paid car parks. Piazza Libertà, Via Borfuro, Via Camozzi, and Via Previtali, all have well-maintained car parking facilities available for use. Bergamo's main rush hour traffic runs from about 8 am to 9:30 am, so avoid travelling by car during this time if possible.
