Is Bergamo airport open at night?
With a cafeteria open 24 hours a day, Bergamo airport is open at any time. So you can have a meal or stroll through the shops in the duty free area. It even has a concierge service for 5€ per day per piece of luggage. Impeccable, will you tell me? Not necessarily. Although you'll find unlimited and free Wi-Fi, you'll still have to pay to use the phone's charging sockets. In fact, it will cost you €1.5 per 15 minutes. In addition, to rest, there are few seats, and they are also metal and with armrests. If you decide to lie down on the ground, the airport security guards will wake you up. It is not possible to sleep on the ground either. What about taking a shower? Impossible, there is none.
If you're lucky, you can still sleep in one of the nine sleeping cabins. These are soundproofed and equipped with a flight control screen and electrical outlets. Access and payment, from €9 per hour to €58 per night, is via the touch screen.
