The Endless Journey

between art, landscapes and flavors

 

From Sardinia to Sicily, from Puglia to Calabria, 

BGY connects 15 Italian cities and confirms itself as a strategic starting point

to reach some of the most popular destinations of summer 2026.

 

Italy continues to be one of the most desired destinations in the world, a country capable of renewing its charm in every season thanks to a unique combination of art, landscapes, history, traditions and quality of life. From cities of art to iconic coasts, from villages to islands, up to food and wine experiences, shopping and slow tourism, the Bel Paese contains a rare variety of atmospheres and travel reasons. 

 

In this scenario, Milan Bergamo Airport confirms itself as a strategic gateway to discover some of the most authentic and representative expressions of Italy. There are 15 Italian destinations connected by the airport: Alghero, Bari, Brindisi, Cagliari, Catania, Crotone, Lamezia Terme, Lampedusa, Naples, Olbia, Palermo, Pantelleria, Pescara, Salerno and Trapani. A network that crosses the country from north to south and that allows you to build itineraries that are different in style, rhythm and inspiration, but united by a central element: the possibility of experiencing an Italy made up of strong identities, widespread beauty and deeply recognizable territories.

Sardinia tells its story through three complementary accesses. Alghero recalls the charm of the north-west of the island, between transparent sea, nature and Mediterranean memory; Olbia is one of the main gateways to Gallura and the Costa Smeralda; finally, Cagliari combines beaches, light, urban liveliness and a character that is increasingly appreciated by those looking for a summer city break. Three different ways of entering a region that continues to occupy a privileged place in the imagination of Italian tourism.

Sicily also plays a central role in this story. Catania, Palermo and Trapani offer access to a stratified, intense land, made up of historical heritage, markets, flavors, landscapes and cities with a strong personality. Added to these are Pantelleria and Lampedusa, two islands that evoke an even more immersive idea of travel, suspended between nature, wind, sea and silence. They are destinations that speak to those looking for authenticity, but also to those who want a summer with an exclusive and profoundly Mediterranean character.

On the Adriatic and Ionian side, Bari and Brindisi enhance the appeal of Puglia, a region that in recent years has consolidated its attractiveness thanks to the balance between beaches, white villages, religious heritage, hospitality and territorial gastronomy. In Calabria, on the other hand, Crotone and Lamezia Terme pave the way for a more authentic and still surprising dimension of Italian travel, between spectacular coasts, slower rhythms, deep roots and an identity that retains a strong link with the landscape and tradition.

Among the destinations of the network, Naples naturally also stands out, one of the most magnetic cities in the country, capable of combining historical heritage, urban energy, sea and gastronomic culture in an unrepeatable way. Salerno further expands the range of possibilities towards the Italian South, confirming itself as a precious access to an area of great tourist attraction. Finally, Pescara adds to the offer a destination that combines the Adriatic Sea with the proximity to a hinterland rich in nature, villages and traditions.

What makes Italy even more special is its relationship with food, which is not only an element of hospitality, but an integral part of the travel experience. Italian gastronomic culture is linked to handed down knowledge, local productions, convivial rituals and territorial identities. The UNESCO recognition attributed to Italian cuisine as an intangible cultural heritage is also part of this framework, defined by UNESCO as a set of skills, knowledge, practices and traditions related to cultivation, fishing, cooking and above all the sharing of food.

 

Milan Bergamo Airport's domestic network is not just a set of connections, but an invitation to explore the country through some of its most recognizable and beloved forms.

The city between two seas
 

Trapani, located in the western part of Sicily, is called the "city between two seas" because it is located on a strip of land bathed by the Mediterranean Sea on one side and the Tyrrhenian Sea on the other. Over the centuries it has maintained its sickle shape with the Ligny Tower at the end.
