Which airport should you actually fly into?
Linate is 10 km from the centre, Malpensa is 50, Bergamo Orio al Serio is 52: the difference is not the minutes, it is which part of the city you are trying to reach.
Distance is not the argument
Linate is 10 km from the centre, Malpensa is 50, Bergamo Orio al Serio is 52. The useful question is not which airport is closest, but which one leaves you on the right side of the city: a hotel in the east is a short drive from Linate and a long one from Malpensa.
Journey time is decided by traffic, not by the map. The A8 into the city and the ring road can double a journey the distance predicts as short, and the difference between a 07:00 arrival and a 17:00 arrival is larger than the difference between airports.
What each airport is actually for
Malpensa has the intercontinental and long-haul flights and is the only sensible choice when nothing else flies where you are going. Linate is the city airport: a third of the distance, and the one to prefer for a European trip with hand luggage. Bergamo Orio al Serio serves the low-cost carriers and adds a motorway hour whatever the destination.

Which airport do you recommend for a first visit?
Linate, when the route allows it: you land thirteen minutes from the centre instead of an hour away, and your first impression of the city is not a motorway.
