If you have a valid ticket for the city buses, the funicular is also included. Beautiful way to get up to the old city. It wasn’t very clear if bus ticket includes also funicolare entrance and if children can travel free with parents. For sure, Bergamo Funicolare works much better than similar in @Turku, Finland. Great experience to get to the old city. Eat at the top. A queue to get on but it moves fast. Joyful experience for kids and not-so-youngsters. Rides are frequent until late evening. Perfect for having dinner in the "Città Alta" and coming back to the lodging. Got a full day ticket for 4 euro 90. An interesting trip up to the old town with great views of the surrounding area. Went up the tower to see sunset. A Charming Ride to the Heart of History – Bergamo’s Funicular is a Must Taking the Funicolare per Città Alta was such a memorable part of my visit to Bergamo. It’s more than just transport, it’s a charming little journey that connects the modern lower town with the medieval beauty of Città Alta, and it does so with character and a touch of nostalgia. The ride itself is short but scenic, gently climbing the hillside while offering sweeping views over rooftops, stone walls, and the surrounding hills. It’s an especially lovely way to get your first glimpse of the upper town as it slowly reveals itself on the ascent. The station is well signposted, the ticketing process is simple (and included in the local transport pass), there is a ticket office as well if you’re just there with a one off journey in mind, and the carriages themselves feel wonderfully vintage while still being clean and well-kept. There’s something delightfully old world about it, like stepping into a slower rhythm of life. Be mindful, depending on the time of the day there may be a queue to get on the funicolare, so have water maybe. Whether you’re heading up for a day of exploring or just want to enjoy the view, the funicular is absolutely worth taking. It adds a little magic to the journey and is one of those small, authentic experiences that help make Bergamo so unforgettable… so much fun. A must do...UP! For less than €2 pp it is worth the trip, although the view was restricted due to weather. CITTÀ ALTA is a must. Travel pass purchase through WhatsApp is very convenient. The view of the city from the top is spectacular, great place to plane spot Great views going up and down and it’s a nice experience, I bought a 72 hour ticket from ATB and this was included, but it is normally 1.70 each way. Not sure I would wait in peak times as I went on a cold February midweek morning and there was still a queue but it did go down pretty quickly. Looking back, it was a fun experience, but down at the bottom I did feel a bit nervous once I realized how steep the ascent was. Let’s just hope the cables hold in the future! A pleasant and affordable way to travel up and down without breaking a sweat. Tickets are cheap, but lines are too long. We waited almost half an hour and gave up and chose the Tuktuk. The staff waites to have 50 people in one funicular and if they do not fill that, they dont leave. Its like a minute long ride, so quite short. Views are nothing special as well. An inexpensive and fun way to go up to the old part of Bergamo (Citta Alta). The tickets are 1.50 euros (one way) to 3.00 euros (both ways), and the wait for us was about 15-20 minutes. If you think that the wait is too long, just walk up the pathway that leaves just beside (to the left) towards the Porto San Giacomo, and from there you have a short walk to the center. If you want to have a glass of wine while waiting, on the opposite side of the street, you find Rotta Vino Enoteca with a small terrace and a huge selection of really good wines!
