On looking at the map, LIN may be easier, it's closer. But things are not always what they appear.

Any suggestions on which airport is easiest to get to Bergamo from? Train, bus, etc. suggestions.

What is your definition of "easiest"?

Bergamo is a essentially a suburb of Milan these days w/trains departing every 20 minutes or so. Its about an hour from the city.

You can take a train from Gallarate, the Malpensa train station that will take you to Bergamo, you'll have to change (but you'll have to do that to transfer at Centrale)

There is a bus option that runs Linate-Bergamo but it takes a LONG time so I wouldn't bother.
