Bergamo

Bergamo is a city that wins you over step by step, offering unique experiences around every corner. From its millennia-old history to its musical heritage, from art to gastronomy, every activity delivers authentic emotions and unforgettable views.

Take the funicular up to the Upper Town (Città Alta) and be enchanted by the panoramic view stretching across the entire plain. Stroll along the Venetian Walls, a symbol of the city and a UNESCO World Heritage Site—especially at sunset, when the light reflects off the ancient stone. Stop for an aperitif in Piazza Vecchia, the vibrant heart of Bergamo’s life, and sample local specialties such as the nine PDO cheeses and polenta, cornerstones of the region’s culinary tradition.

Art lovers should not miss the elegant Accademia Carrara, home to masterpieces by Botticelli, Raphael, and Titian, nor a walk along the lively Sentierone, the social hub of the Lower Town.

Let yourself be carried away by the melodies of Gaetano Donizetti, Bergamo’s great composer, and end the evening by listening to the hundred chimes of the Campanone bell tower, which ring out every night at 10 p.m., marking the city’s ancient rhythm. Bergamo is a place of endless discovery: every experience tells a story, and every step is an invitation to return.
