Opposite T1 departures security, Hudson is the quick grab stop
This Hudson sits just past security in Bergamo’s T1, right by the main departures hall. It runs from early morning through late evening, tracking the first and last Ryanair waves. You’ll see the familiar blue logo across from several Schengen gates, so it’s hard to miss on the way to your flight.
Expect the standard Hudson mix: packaged snacks, bottled water, soft drinks, gum, and basic travel toiletries. A 500 ml water usually runs around €2–3, and grab-and-go snacks like chips and chocolate bars sit in the €1.50–€3 range. It’s the place to top up on last‑minute essentials without leaving the secure area of T1.
Books, magazines, and newspapers cover both Italian and English titles, with bestsellers and travel guides stacked near the entrance. You’ll also find basic tech items: charging cables, headphones, travel adapters, and power banks, most in the €10–€30 bracket. If your phone battery hits red at gate numbers in the teens, this is where you sprint.
Payment is straightforward: they accept major credit cards, contactless, and euros in cash. Because BGY’s T1 is compact, you’re rarely more than a five‑minute walk from Hudson to most Schengen gates. Prices sit at typical airport levels, not a bargain, but still below some onboard buy‑on‑board menus.
Practical tip: grab water and snacks here after security in T1; once you’re parked at the farther gates, options shrink fast and lines can build right before the big Ryanair departures bank.
