Driving Tips for Bergamo
Take a look at these tips to prepare yourself when exploring Bergamo by car:
- Narrow streets in the historic centre: Bergamo's upper town, Città Alta, has narrow, winding streets, so navigating can be challenging. Drive cautiously and be aware of pedestrians and cyclists.
- Designated parking areas: There are limited parking options available in the city, especially in the city centre, so it's important to use designated areas like Piazza della Liberta or Park Città Alta to avoid fines.
- ZTL (Limited Traffic Zones): Bergamo has ZTL areas, restricting access to certain streets. Avoid penalties by checking for ZTL signs and following instructions closely.
- Bergamo ring road: The ring road can be congested, especially during peak hours. Drive defensively and be prepared for sudden stops and turns.
- Pedestrianised zones: Some areas in Bergamo, like Via XX Settembre, are pedestrianised. Be aware of these zones and avoid driving in them to avoid fines and keep the pedestrians safe.
