Admission and costs
The lakeside market has free entry. Refreshments and shopping are paid to individual exhibitors; the bus fare covers transport and does not include spending at the chalets or any separately organized activities.
Getting there
From Bergamo railway station reach the bus station and take Arriva line E towards Sarnico, alighting at “Sarnico Municipio”. Continue on foot to the lakefront and Viale Garibaldi, where the chalets stand. Line E does not operate on 25 December.
Time to allow
Allow around 3 hours at the destination, excluding travel.
If it rains
The Gianni Bellini gallery at Palazzo Gervasoni in the old town is the indoor art alternative. It operates its own opening arrangements, rather than extending the market or automatically opening throughout the chalet hours.
