Free parking near Bergamo Fair
Those wishing to save on parking can use the Bergamo Trade Fair interchange parking lot, managed by ATB Mobilità Spa. It is a free and unattended area with approximately 300 parking spaces, located in the immediate vicinity of the fairground district and connected to the city center by Line 1 of public transport.
The parking lot is particularly suitable for those who want to reach Bergamo's city center without using a car or for those visiting the Fair on days when major events are not scheduled.
It is important to know that the free parking is open Monday to Friday from 6:30 AM to 8:30 PM and is not accessible during major trade fair events, when the area is used for the Fair's organizational needs. In these cases, it is therefore necessary to use the official parking lots of the fairground district.
Telepass partner parking lots
Those who use Telepass can access the Fair's parking lots in an even simpler way.
Both parking lots at the Bergamo Fair are Telepass partner parking facilities and allow you to enter and exit without collecting a paper ticket and without stopping at automatic payment stations.

This solution is particularly useful during events with high attendance, when thousands of visitors leave the fairground area at the same time.
Those who do not use Telepass can still pay for parking at the automatic payment stations located in the parking area or with other available payment methods, such as payment cards and cash, when available.
