From Linate airport you can take the metro to the railway station (Centrale or Lambrate), and then the train to Bergamo. Alternatively, from Linate airport, you can take the blue line (Metro 4) to the Milano Forlanini station, then the train to Pioltello Limito and, finally, the train to Bergamo.

From Malpensa airport you can reach the railway Central Station of Milan by bus (1h journey, every 10 minutes), operated by Autostradale and Malpensashuttle. There is also a train running from MXP and Milano Centrale (or Milano Cadorna, but then you need to take the metro).
