Getting Around Dro

Train from Bergamo Airport to Rovereto From 12 EUR (regional train via Verona) 150 min

You need a shuttle bus from BGY airport to Bergamo city station (10 mins, 2.30 EUR) then take Regionale to Verona, switch to a Rovereto train. Slower but cheaper than direct transfers. Buy a 'Trenord' ticket app on your phone to skip queues.

Local Taxi from Dro to Arco or Riva del Garda From 15 EUR (to Arco) 15 min

Agritur Oltra is 3 km from Dro centre so walking isn't doable for groceries. Save money by calling the same driver who drops you from the station for a return trip. Cash only, always confirm price before riding.

Bus from Rovereto Station to Dro From 2.50 EUR 30 min

When you get off at Dro, walk up Via Roma for 10 mins to the agritur — the bus doesn't stop right at the door. Bus tickets from Rovereto's tabacchi or the self-service machine at the station.

Private Transfer from Bergamo Airport (BGY) From 80 EUR 80 min

Book with a local driver like NCC Dro or Taxi Riva — they'll meet you at arrivals with a name board. Costs spike 20% after 10 PM. For a cheaper shared ride, try GoOpti, but expect to wait up to 45 mins at the airport.
