Traslochi a Bergamo dal Regno Unito
Bergamo is famous for being two cities in one. The lower city, Città Bassa, occupies the flat Po plain and has wide modern streets, good motorway access from the A4 and is completely straightforward for road freight. The upper city, Città Alta, sits on a steep hill above and is enclosed within 16th-century Venetian walls. It has narrow streets, a ZTL zone and access limitations that are very different from the lower city.
Bergamo is 47 kilometres east of Milan on the A4. Orio al Serio airport (officially Bergamo-Orio al Serio International, used heavily by Ryanair and other low-cost carriers) is 4 kilometres south of the city. The airport creates a significant corporate relocation and expat community in the Bergamo area, making removals to the city common for British arrivals. Most of this community lives in the accessible Città Bassa or the surrounding commuter towns.
International Removals Companies is a free enquiry matching service operated by DATACONTEXT (UK) LTD (company 07425576). It does not carry out removals or operate vehicles. It connects each Bergamo enquiry with one suitable vetted mover from our network, who contacts you, surveys the move and confirms the quote. Free to use, no obligation until you accept.
The Città Alta is reached by road via a winding approach (the main access is via Via Porta Dipinta and the Porta San Giacomo gate). A vehicle with a ZTL permit can drive through the gate and along the main Via Gombito and Via Colleoni axis. A small van (up to approximately 2.0 metres wide) can navigate the main streets of Città Alta; the narrower side lanes require porter carry. The passenger funicular connects the lower and upper cities but carries people, not furniture.
For deliveries to properties in Città Alta, the matched mover applies for the permesso di transito from the Comune di Bergamo 48 to 72 hours ahead and selects the appropriate vehicle for the interior streets. The historic centre of Città Alta is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
The Città Bassa has wide tree-lined boulevards typical of Italian Piedmontese urban planning. The main residential neighbourhoods of Loreto, Monterosso, Boccaleone and Colognola are all on the flat plain with excellent lorry access. The Orio al Serio airport zone to the south and the industrial/logistics areas around it are fully accessible.
Bergamo's A4 exit gives it 3 to 5 day transit times from the UK, the same as Milan and Brescia. The city is 47 kilometres east of Milan, meaning lorries heading to Bergamo from the Alpine tunnels typically pass through the Milan junction before exiting onto the A4 east. Some routes approach via Lecco from the north (for deliveries to the Bergamo Alta area from the lake district direction).
Road freight from the UK travels through France and the Alpine tunnels, then east along the A4 to the Bergamo exit. For Citta Alta (upper city) addresses, a ZTL permit and a smaller vehicle handle the walled city delivery. For Citta Bassa (lower modern city), standard lorry delivery applies. International Removals Companies matches each Bergamo enquiry free with one vetted mover from our network.
Citta Bassa is the modern lower city with wide streets and full lorry access. Citta Alta is the historic upper city inside Venetian walls, accessed via a winding road through a gate. A small van can navigate the main upper city streets with a ZTL permit; narrower side lanes require porter carry. The passenger funicular carries people not furniture.
A dedicated vehicle from the UK to Bergamo typically takes 3 to 5 working days via the A4. A part load service takes 7 to 12 days from collection.
As a planning guide, a part load to Bergamo starts from around £900. A two-bedroom part load from around £1,800. A dedicated vehicle from around £2,800. Citta Alta addresses with shuttle or porter requirements carry a surcharge. These are guides only.
The airport is 4 kilometres south of the city and creates heavy traffic on the approach roads during peak hours. The matched mover plans arrival times to avoid airport traffic build-up. For moves to addresses near the airport zone, confirm the access road type with the matched mover.
Bergamo is in Lombardy, part of Italy and the EU. Since Brexit, UK goods entering Bergamo are treated as imports to the EU. The franchigia per trasferimento di residenza can remove import duty and 22% Italian VAT on household goods owned and used for at least six months, provided you are moving your main home to Bergamo. You need a Codice Fiscale to apply. Check dogane.gov.it for current rules.
