Bergamo is the hidden gem of Lombardy, an Italian destination often missed or forgotten in favour of its more famous neighbour, the design capital and fashion city of Milan. But if you do choose to head to Bergamo, then make sure to wander its cobbled lanes and soak up its historic atmosphere. After all, you certainly won’t be disappointed! Here’s a quick travel guide to this beautiful Italian city and the best things to do in Bergamo .

Thanks to its position just a fifteen-minute bus ride away from an international airport, it couldn’t be easier to visit Bergamo on your next European adventure.

After all, one of the biggest travel mistakes that travellers make when heading to Northern Italy is missing out on this underrated gem of a city. And once in Bergamo, the city couldn’t be easier to explore by either funicular or on your own two feet.

Set over several levels as a result of its position in the foothills of the Italian mountains, the romantic and mysterious city is the perfect destination for a weekend getaway.

Though we loved our stay in the chic and historic Angolo del Poeta , those looking for a luxurious experience will soon fall in love with the Relais San Lorenzo .

If you’re wondering whether or not to add Bergamo to your Italy travel itinerary, then the answer should be a resounding ‘yes’. Medieval architecture, local cuisine, and an authentic Italian town a little off the beaten path, Bergamo is a stunning destination in Northern Italy.

Characterised by its Venetian Walls, cobbled lanes, and welcoming ambience, there are plenty of reasons to visit Bergamo. Of all the reasons to visit Bergamo, make it the fact that you’ll be visiting a place which many miss.

With regular budget flights touching down in Bergamo’s airport on a daily basis, many assume that Bergamo is the kind of place you fly into, and then leave directly.

However, this is most certainly not the case and avoiding this Italian town would be your first mistake! Instead, ensure to dedicate at least a night or two to discover the best attractions Bergamo has to offer.

After all, it’s not every day of your Northern Italian trip that you’ll discover a city that’s relatively underrated in comparison with its nearby neighbours, such as Milan and Lake Como, yet remains a destination which retains all the charm of a unique holiday experience.

While you could simply stop off in Bergamo, we advise a longer stay to really allow yourself to get a feel for the place. Looking for one of the best-kept secrets of Italy ?

The stunning city is perfect for a weekend break- or perhaps a longer stint- for those looking to go a little off the tourist track and discover something new.

After all, the city has plenty of accommodation options to suit every budget, including this luxurious place to stay and this historic B&B we stayed at for an absolute steal!

Otherwise, you should know that visiting Bergamo couldn’t be easier thanks to a wealth of affordable train links to the rest of Italy and beyond.

Bergamo is even served by its own international airport offering flights to the UK, France, the Netherlands, and plenty of other European destinations.

The time to get from the airport to the city centre is just under half an hour by bus and costs just a few euros each way, making the city easily accessible even on the shortest of vacations.

20+ Best Things to do in Bergamo

Lying in the shadows of the Basilica di Santa Maria, this stunning and incredibly ancient 11th-century chapel is hidden in plain sight, to the extent that most simply pass it by, never even realising that it exists (even the locals who live in Bergamo!) .

Easily one of the best-kept secrets and hidden gems of Bergamo, the stone structure leans to one side and is truly a glimpse of Bergamo history. The octagonally shaped Tempietto di Santa Croce is small and filled with murals dating all the way back to the middle ages.

Though the interior of the ecclesiastical building is often closed to the public and only open at select times throughout the year, it can still be enjoyed from the outside!

The ‘broletto’ is located next to the Basilica di Santa Maria and was built on the site of the old Roman forum. Open to the public and free to visit, the Old Bishop’s Palace is covered in ancient murals and old paintings and is often empty.

This means that you’ll most likely be able to admire this masterpiece free from the distraction of others. Wander around its dark depths and emerge on the other side to enjoy the delights of the Piazza Vecchia.

Tell me: have you ever dined in a former prison? Well, neither had I until I headed to Bergamo. Stroll down a small pedestrianised path away from the old town centre and you’ll end up in front of a vintage wooden door.

This is the beginning of your ultimate dining experience at Il Circolino . Outside, the sound of music drifts into the alleyway and the smell of fresh pizza lingers in the air.

Head inside for some authentic Italian cuisine and plenty of local wine! We particularly loved the fragrant risotto, well-priced wine list, and mouthwatering desserts.

Bergamo was once home to two cathedrals, though only one survives to this day. You’ll find the sole surviving cathedral in the very centre of the old city (elevated town), just next to Piazza Vecchia.

Part of the Roman Catholic church, this ecclesiastical building is often overlooked by its more sumptuous counterpart, that of the basilica Santa Maria. The cathedral is free to visit and is open on a daily basis between 7 AM and 7 PM.

Dedicated to Saint Alexander of Bergamo (whose remains are now housed in an urn on the cathedral’s grand altar) , it’s the seat of the city’s current bishop and was constructed in the 15th-century.

Wander inside, and you’ll see intricate decor, beautiful frescoes, and the tiara of Pope John XXIII, who is now known as Saint John XXIII.

Ornately designed and even more intricate to its interior, the chapel of Colleoni is a breathtaking mausoleum dedicated to Mark, Bartholomew, and John the Baptist.

Built in the 15th-century, this church is one of the best examples of Renaissance architecture you could hope to find anywhere in Northern Italy, let alone in Bergamo! Please note that as much of the collection is in private hands, photography is not allowed inside the chapel.

However, this should definitely not put you off visiting as the Cappella is a true feast for the eyes… After all, this number of beautiful carvings and oeuvres d’art are best experienced without the distraction of modern technology.

Housed in the 12th century former Palace (what cultural space isn’t when it comes to Italy?) , a museum was established in 1906 to celebrate the life, works and collections of Donizetti, the iconic Italian composer.

Enter inside to explore the exhibitions, admire the interior of an old palace and be amazed by the sheer volume of frescoes, paintings and courtyards located within the museum’s walls.

Like many smaller Italian towns and cities, the prices of Bergamo are much less than those of major cities such as Rome and Milan. As a result, it’s often possible to enjoy coffees and other beverages at reasonable prices, even in the centre of town, right on the main square.

Granted, the prices are obviously more expensive than in other parts of town. But then again, there’s nothing quite like admiring the old town square while enjoying your first espresso of the day.

Birds, the buzz of tourist chatter, and all! For more information about coffee in Italy, here’s how to order coffee in Italy just like an Italian!

Bergamo is a city divided into two parts; largely owing to its status as a hillside town- in all senses of the word. The newer part of the city is the Città Bassa (lower city), which as its name would suggest, sits in a lower position on a fairly flat plateau. This area is a financial hub and is complete with plenty of open piazzas and wide boulevards.

There is not one but two funiculars to take when you head to Bergamo. This is as the city is roughly divided into two main parts, with a further sub-division once you reach High Bergamo (known in Italian as the Città Alta) .

Built in the Alpine foothills, hills are obviously abundant! Known as Bergorum during the Roman era, the Città Alta dates back thousands of years.

The oldest part of the city is divided into two further parts; the touristic centre (where you’ll find the Duomo and all the restaurants), as well as the Rocca di Bergamo area, site of an ancient fortress and now home to some breathtaking terraces and restaurants.

While in the Città Alta, make sure to enjoy a traditional Italian coffee while people-watching in the main town square, Piazza Vecchia.

Below, the newer part of the city (though also dating back at least five centuries) is known as Città Bassa (lower city). In other words, Bergamo is full of steep climbs and if you want to save time (and a fair bit of energy), you’ll want to utilise the funiculars to travel around!

For the very best view in Bergamo, you simply must take the higher funicular up the side of the mountain and straight to the very top of the city where Bergamo’s stunning position in the Alpine foothills really comes into its own. Wander around the ancient walls of the Castello di San Vigilio and take in the panoramic views.

With breathtaking views of the city and beyond at the top, the funicular (or ‘mini sky train’) up to the very edge of the city is well worth the nominal fee. This view is such that it’s well worth bringing some photography equipment along to capture the moment; so don’t forget your camera!

For the very best photos of Bergamo, take the funicolare San Vigilio just before sunset to capture the Citta Alta and Citta Bassa in golden light. Some of the other best views of the lower city can be found along the Venetian walls (where you may even spot a vineyard or two if you’re lucky).

Sit and stay a while, or enjoy a bite to eat in one of the many restaurants and cafés located on the edge of the rocks. The view is best seen in the morning or at sunset when golden hour lights up the scene and an orange glow pours over the stunning city.

Bergamo is a city of churches, and the Basilica of Santa Maria Maggiore is sandwiched between the Cappella Colleoni and Bergamo’s cathedral. Constructed from the 12th-century onwards, the church is said to have been built by men who prayed to the Virgin Mary when a plague broke out in 1100.

The men prayed that they would be kept safe from sickness, and if this were the case, then they would build a church in Mary’s honour. The men ended up surviving and true to their word, they built an enormous church in thanks for their health.

Filled with frescoes, stuccos, tapestries and wooden marquetry, this is one of the most intricately designed churches in the region and is well worth a visit, if only to stand in awe at all of the beautiful artwork on display.

Opened to the public in 1918, the Natural History Museum of Bergamo is filled with all things science related and is the perfect Bergamo activity for if you have kids in tow (or simply if it’s a rainy day). Filled with fossils, old animals and vintage scientific equipment, head here if you’re not so keen on traditional musuems, but want to still experience a little culture.

Overlooking the entire Piazza Vecchia and in the heart of the city’s old town, one of the best things to do in Bergamo is to climb to the very top of the bell tower.

Stroll up the historical steps and be rewarded by a breathtaking view over the city and beyond. Towering at 52 metres high, the Torre Civica is the Citta Alta’s tallest tower and was built during the 12th-century.

Bergamo was once (and technically still is) heavily fortified, and a testament to this are the Venetian walls which are now designated as a UNESCO world heritage site.

The complete loop stretches over 6 km in length and walking along the high walls by foot is one of the very best introductions to the city you could hope to find.

Construction of the Venetian Walls first commenced in the 16th century under the Republic of Venice, for whom the walls are named. Today, the Renaissance era walls are some of the best preserved of their time still standing in the world today.

At the very top of Bergamo, where the mountain touches the clouds and you can see for miles upon miles, there are the remnants of an ancient castle dating back centuries.

The Castle of Saint Vigilio dates back to a time when Bergamo was constantly at war with other city-states. Dating all the way back to the 6th century AD, the Castello is filled with fortified walls, casemates, stunning vistas, and views onto the villages beyond Bergamo.

The Venetian walls which characterise Bergamo are punctured with ornate gates every once in a while, in order that foot and road traffic may pass between the Città Alta and the Città Bassa.

Head between the two districts of Bergamo by foot, and no doubt you’ll wander through at least one or two of these ancient structures. Pictured below is the San Giacomo Gate, the old entrance to the city for those travelling to Bergamo from Milan.

Of all the best things to do in Bergamo, wandering through the cobbled lanes, and soaking up the history tops the list. This Lombardy city is a place to be savoured, its atmosphere to be absorbed, and you should go where your feet take you.

After all, the best way to reveal Bergamo’s hidden gems is simply to allow the city to reveal itself to you. For a closer look at the city’s rich history, consider booking a private upper town walking tour with a guide like this one .

Bergamo has all the charm and none of the big-city prices of Milan, making it a great place to base yourself while exploring this Northern Italian region. However, if you do want to visit the Lombardy capital for yourself, then Milan is only a short train ride away, making it one of the best day trips from Bergamo.

In order to visit Milan from Bergamo, you can take the train or bus. While the bus is slightly cheaper, the train will take you right into the city centre!

Once there, you can see the Duomo di Milano, an ossuary chapel, plenty of museums and the design hub of Northern Italy for yourself. Wondering what to do in Milan? Here’s how to spend one day in Milan .

Of all the  reasons to visit Lombardy , the artwork held in many of its towns and cities is definitely near the top of the list. And one of the oldest collections of all is that held in the Academia Carrara.

The collection exists thanks to the generosity of 18th-century count, Giacomo Carrara, who donated his extensive collections to the city following his death in 1796. From then on, his properties were managed by various parties before the 1950s when the Commune of Bergamo took over.

Today, the collections can be visited for a small fee and comprise of over 1800 paintings dating from the 15th to 19th centuries. Artists represented within the works include Botticelli, Bellini, and Raphael.

For those looking to enjoy the city on a more local level, there is perhaps no better way to experience the culture of a place than by taking a class or exploring the destination on foot.

This private guided tour will show you all of the important Bergamo attractions such as the cathedral, the little cobbled lanes and more. Otherwise, for a taste of the best Italian food that Bergamo has to offer, book this Cooking Class with a Local Chef in Bergamo .

Pasta, pizza, and all the gelato : steps away from the touristic area of the city there’s plenty of local produce to be found in the form of patisseries and local wines.

Local Lombardy cuisine mirrors much of the rest of Northern Italy, lacking in tomatoes and focusing more on butter and meat-based dishes. The most famous local dish is the  risotto alla milanese, a rice dish flavoured with saffron.

If you’re looking to enjoy the best of Northern Italy a little off the beaten path, then there are plenty of day trips from Bergamo that are well worth the time.

Other than Milan (which is the easiest of day trips from the Medieval city) , you can rent a car and head out into the vineyards, or visit one of Northern Italy’s other major cities or towns via train;

Venice day trip from Bergamo: Long touted as one of the most beautiful cities in Italy, Venice is a must-see when travelling through the boot-shaped country. This full day tour from Bergamo includes highlights such as a boat ride on the Venice Lagoon, a guided walking tour of the city, and the chance to stroll through real life history. Verona and Sirmione day trip from Bergamo: Ah, Verona, the Italian City of Love, not to mention the place where Shakespeare’s fated lovers, Romeo and Juliet, hail from. This Bergamo excursion includes a visit to a summer retreat from the days of the Roman Empire at Sirmione, and the chance to explore Verona in depth.

Where to stay in Bergamo

If you’re looking to make the most of this Lombardy gem of a city, then I highly recommend dedicating a couple of days to explore Bergamo, rather than just staying for a single day. Unlike nearby Milan, staying in Bergamo can be quite affordable and there are plenty of options on offer:

Relais San Lorenzo,  Piazza Lorenzo Mascheroni, 9, 24129 Bergamo BG, Italy

If you’re looking for a place that’s a little more luxurious during your stay in Bergamo then the Relais San Lorenzo (which is only open during the shoulder and peak seasons of the year) is incredibly well rated. Set against the backdrop of the beautiful Lombardy hills, this 5-star hotel offers all of the facilities you could wish for from a luxury hotel.

Check prices and accommodation here.

UpTown Bed and Breakfast, Piazzetta Luigi Angelini, 15, 24129 Bergamo BG, Italy

If you want to truly experience the best of Bergamo, then I recommend staying in the heart of the Citta Alta. For our second night in the city, we opted to stay in the UpTown B&B where the room was clean and comfortable.

The room also came with a complimentary breakfast, of which there were several options to choose from. Deliciously cooked, we ended up having an amazing chat with the owner of the B&B! 

Check accommodation prices here.

Angolo del Poeta, Via Borgo Palazzo, 39, 24125 Bergamo BG, Italy

If you love your accommodation with a slice of history, then I highly recommend staying in the Angolo del Poeta. Situated in the lower part of Bergamo and easy to reach from the train station, the ancient walls of this place were first built over 500 years ago. Today, the B&B offers a wonderful place to stay for a reasonable cost.

Nearby Milano is just under an hour away from the train and transportation between the two cities runs on an incredibly regular basis. As such, even if you don’t have much time in Northern Italy, set aside just half a day for this easy day trip from Milan and you certainly won’t regret your choice!

FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions) about Bergamo, Italy

Ended up spending a weekend in Bergamo last month as we missed a connecting flight. What a beautiful place it is. I will definitely be returning to explore more of the city when I get the chance. Recommend it 100%

Saturday 19th of March 2022

@Ann Cooper, Hi Ann can you recommend where to stay? We have two nights this week but I have unfollowed injured my foot so walking is somewhat hampered but decided to still go. Any advice for two full day accommodation?

Tuesday 1st of January 2019

Perfect! I’m visiting Bergamo next week and will definitely use your post as a guide :)

Thursday 27th of September 2018

Nice post! I appreciated the fact that you included places like tempietto di Santa Croce, which is relatively unknown (or, at least, unnoticed) also by many residents.

Living in a village in the neighborhoods of Bergamo, I still add a couple of tips; for example, Astino Abbey is in my opinion definetly worth a visit, especially for people who likes to walk in the nature: atcually, it can be reached with a very nice walk from Città Alta in about 1 hour, during which you basically go in the middle of Borgo Canale (a small neighborhood on the hill just below San Vigilio) and then from there you pass through some very nice spots in the middle of nature until you reach the Abbey.

Another very nice place to visit if you stay in Bergamo for a few days (maybe not for just a weekend but for more days) is the Iseo Lake, which is about 30 km from the town, or also Endine Lake.

If instead you are more the kind of person who lovers arts, you could build a route around some of the Romanic Churches of the province of Bergamo: Rotonda di San Tomé (located in Almenno San Bartolomeo, about 10 km from Bergamo) is one of the most famous, but, if you are more athletic, there is also the possibility to hire a bike and go from Trescore Balneario to Zandobbio and then to Spinone (which is on the Endine Lake) and visit the churches of San Vincenzo (Trescore Balneario), San Giorgio (Zandobbio) and San Pietro in Vincoli (Spinone): obviously they can be visited also by car, but they are connected with a very nice cycle path of about 37/38 km, totally immersed into the nature.

Over the years, Northern Italy has not captured my curiosity. You can’t love Italy without really opening your heart to it. By road, in order to enter Italy, it is almost inevitable to have to somehow cross the Alps. The Alps follow an arc extending over 1200 kilometers along the northern Italian border, as a natural border separating the boot-shaped country from the rest of the Old Continent. When crossing the mountain, the rich Po River delta spreads out in front of you. This is the cradle of the Italian industrial revolution, the regions are famously richer and prosperity than the South. Somehow, those regions, many times driving through Italy, I always just pass by but never stop. The most prosperous and urban is probably Turin, the capital of the Piedmont region, and Milan, the world fashion capital, the center of Lombardia.

Bergamo is truly a hidden gem in northern Italy, about an hour’s drive from Milan. Although this small town is often overlooked due to its proximity to Milan, a visit to Bergamo is sure to leave you spellbound with its beautiful cobblestone streets, exciting weather, and long historic atmosphere. Even better, this beautiful Italian city is also known as the city of art, and it is certainly beautiful in a rare and unique way.

Overview of Bergamo (#bergamo travel blog)

The Celts (people from central Europe) founded Bergamo 2000 years ago. It is recognized by UNESCO on the list of World Heritage Sites as an important historic Italian town. This beautiful little town is full of historic buildings, the citadel (fortress), the church of Saint Maria and the library… A tour of Bergamo is well worth your interesting trip.

Only about 50 kilometers northeast of Milan, both closed in the shadow of Milan and closed at the foot of the Alps is the city of Bergamo. This is the last major city, leaning against the Alps, the gateway to the Po River Delta before stepping into the mountains. The terrain makes Bergamo divided into two separate parts, the old city, also known as the Città Alta (Upper Town). The Città Alta is nestled within the city walls with a circumference of more than 5 kilometers built by the Venetians when they were colonized the city for three centuries. The ancient citadel of Bergamo or more precisely the city walls “Mura venete di Bergamo” has been recognized as a UNESCO heritage site since 2017. Below that, known as the Lower Town (New Town). The Città Bassa is the much larger city, the administrative and economic center is developed in the southern delta.

When entering the upper town, you will be attracted by the high walls, everything is very neat, the feeling of this place is so majestic. The citadel here has also been recognized as a Unesco World Heritage Site since 2017.

The main tourist part of Bergamo is the “upper town” – la “Città Alta”, which is also the main content of this article.

I have a feeling, Bergamo is beautiful in a way that is more organized and neat than the standards of an Italian city. At least that’s the feeling of walking in the old town. Speaking from Bergamo northward was the beginning of the Alps, but close to the city were still only hilltops that were not very high. On it, to protect Bergamo there are often fortresses carrying outpost missions.

When to come? (#bergamo blog)

The best time to visit Bergamo with good weather are April, September and October. The warmest months are June, July and August. The middle of the year has pleasant weather with high temperatures and and little precipitation.

Getting to Bergamo (#bergamo travel guide)

But finding a day to stop at Bergamo is very simple. Surely many of us have had the opportunity to accidentally pass by. Bergamo is only about 50 kilometers from Milan. Legend has it that standing on the walls of Bergamo, on clear days you can see Milan on the horizon. It is located right on the highway from Milan through Verona to Venice, so it is not difficult to plan an itinerary to put Bergamo in it.

In addition, low-cost airlines, especially Ryanair, have chosen the city’s Orio al Serio airport as its hub, connecting Bergamo with most of Europe’s capitals and major destinations. Orio al Serio Airport is the fourth largest airport in Italy in terms of passenger traffic.

Getting from the airport to the old town is too simple, bus number #1 only takes half an hour to connect the airport via Bergamo train station before going to the old town. So, the opportunity to visit Bergamo is actually very simple.

By plane (#bergamo travel guide)

Bergamo’s main international airport is Orio al Serio airport (IATA code: BGY). The airport also has another commercial name, Milan Bergamo Airport to add the name Milan, which attracts a larger number of passengers. As mentioned above, major low-cost airlines such as Ryann Air or WizzAir choose Bergamo as their main hub for Northern Italy, so it is currently the fourth-ranked airport in Italy in terms of passenger traffic. From the airport to Bergamo is relatively simple. Bus route #1 takes only half an hour to connect to the airport via Bergamo train station before going to the old city. Ticket price is €2.7/way, you can buy a €5 day ticket valid within 24 hours.

The ticket is valid for 90 minutes so you can use the same ticket to catch another bus to the Cítta Alta funicular that takes you to the old town. You can also take a train or bus from Milan, which takes about an hour to come.

Pro tip: Right next to bus #1 in the citadel at Largo Colle Aperto stop, in the Passaggio Torre di Adalberto alley, there is a place to store your things, allowing those who only visit Bergamo for a few hours to visit. Easy to put things there to go out without fear of getting entangled.

By car (#bergamo travel blog)

The entire area of the central old town of Bergamo (“la Città Alta”) and a number of other streets are located in a restricted car zone (zones referred to as “ZTL” – “ Zone a traffic Limitato”). Only local cars are allowed to enter. Vehicles of passing visitors are prohibited from entering and parking. If you have a network, you should use navigation apps like Waze or Google Map to automatically find your way around ZTL zones.

Pro tip – free parking – the way we chose: I chose to park on the hill of San Vigilio. Anyway, I intend to come here to see the old city of Bergamo. San Vigilio Hill is a luxury residential area with little traffic, so finding a parking space is relatively easy. I found a free parking lot at Via S. Vigilio, 46, 24129 Bergamo (GPS coordinates: 45.711380, 9.647350), just walked a few hundred meters to the mountain funicular station “Funicolare di San Vigilio” .

Bergamo railway station is located on Piazzale Guglielmo Marconi square. As written above, the city of Bergamo has strategic bus route #1 connecting three main points of interest: Orio al Serio airport – Bergamo FS train station and the “Città Alta” upper town. The city’s main bus station is also directly opposite the station. In Bergamo, regional trains are operated by Trenord ( www.trenord.it ) and interregional trains are operated by Trenitalia.

Some information about railways in Italy:

The Italian national railway company is Trenitalia ( www.trenitalia.com ). In addition, there is a private railway company Italo ( www.italotreno.it ) that operates a number of high-speed train lines from Venice directly to Florence, Rome or Naples. Italo’s train is relatively new and comfortable, with wifi on board. It takes about an hour and a half to Florence, 3 hours to Rome. Italo tickets are usually cheaper than Trenitalia tickets.

Follow Italo’s Facebook page to receive promotional codes as well as notifications about special discounts. Usually every weekend, the company releases a promotional code. But this is really just a marketing tactic. Every weekend the firm sends a promotional code, but every weekend it also increases the ticket price.

With Trenitalia’s train system: high-speed trains (Frecciarossa – Frecciargento – Frecciabianca) and intercity trains (IC), on tickets with number of seats, there is no fixed fare but the fare changes change up and down, there are also promotions such as air tickets. Track fares and buy tickets directly on the site ( www.italotreno.it ).

With the regional train system “Regionali” traveling short distances. With this type of train, the ticket does not have a fixed number of seats, you can sit on any seat when you see an empty seat. Usually the fare is fixed, no need to book in advance, just go to the station and buy it.

The main bus station of the city is located right at the door of the train station on Piazzale Guglielmo Marconi square. In addition, to cater to the number of passengers coming to Bergamo to fly, there are many bus routes (such as flixbus.com or buscenter.it ) connecting the airport directly with major cities in Northern Italy.

Getting around Bergamo (#bergamo travel blog)

Walking around is quite pleasant, walking from the train station to the funicular station takes about 15-20 minutes. So, try walking for a more enjoyable experience. If you don’t want to walk, you can take bus #1 from the train station to the funicular that takes you to Cítta Alta (old town).

You can buy a day pass, where you can travel on all the buses and funiculars you like for the whole day (24 hours from your purchase). The price is no more than a one-way ticket, so chances are this is the best deal.

You can also buy a variety of other tickets, such as a 3-day pass or a 1-day pass that includes the airport bus. Or you can also buy these tickets at the Bergamo airport ticket office, bus station and from ticket machines.

Bergamo has a public transport system managed and operated by ATB (Azienda Transporti Bergamo) (www.atb.bergamo.it). Single ticket in the city (1 zone) is €1.3/one way, 24h ticket is €3.5. Tickets that can go to the airport (5 zone) cost €2.7/way, a day ticket is €5. If anyone stays in Bergamo longer, there is a 72h (5 zone) ticket for €7.

Where to go and what to do in Bergamo?

Bergamo is divided into two parts – an old part, Cítta Alta (upper town), and a new, more modern part, Cittá Bassa (lower town). The old part of town is really a must-see during your Bergamo tour. So make sure to give yourself the right amount of time to explore all that this place has to offer.

Upper Town – la “Città Alta”

To get to the upper town – la “Città Alta”, in addition to the roads leading up to the four city gates, there are also two mountain funicular routes “funicolare”. One from the lower town to the upper town (“Funicolare di Città”) and the other from the hill of Saint San Vigilio (“Funicolare di San Vigilio”).

Linea FUN.C (Funicolare Città Bassa – Città Alta): The line connecting the lower city – la “Città Bassa” with the upper city – la “Città Alta”. The station is below Città Bassa to pick up and drop off passengers on Viale Vittorio Emanuele II. In the citadel, the station of the line is on Piazza Mercato delle Scarpe. One-way ticket price is 1.3€/way. Tickets are valid for 75 minutes. There is also a ticket for 24 hours/person with a price of 3.5€, which means that you only need to go three times to make a profit.

Linea FSV (Funicolare di San Vigilio): This is a mountain funicular route from the holy hill of San Vigilio to the ancient city of “Città Alta”. On the hill of San Vigilio, the station is on Via al Castello. At the other end, the train stops at the gate of Porta San Alessandro.

We reached Bergamo from the hillside of San Vigilio rather than cutting through the city. At the top of the hill is the Fort of the same name “Castello di San Vigilio”, which serves as a gateway to protect the city. The fortress is now a ruin, converted into a beautiful garden, which provides a 360° viewing point of Bergamo and its surroundings.

There are many shooting angles from the holy hill San Vigilio to the ancient citadel “Città Alta”, but the “most popular” angle on Instagram is from the terrace of the funicular station “Funicolare di San Vigilio” (GPS coordinates: 45.708389, 9.650697 ). If you are not in a hurry, before catching the train from here or walking to the upper side of Bergamo, you can wander more around the streets on the hill. San Vigilio is definitely Bergamo’s upper-class residential area, the mansions on the hill are extremely beautiful and majestic.

The best way to appreciate the beauty of Bergamo is to simply walk along its streets. The old town is quite small, so you can see everything just walking around. The buildings look old but are very well preserved. It’s a cozy feeling walking around the narrow, winding cobblestone streets, peering into the little chocolate and cheese shops, wineries and cafes selling their own specialties.

Anyone who comes to Bergamo wants to visit the upper city. The reason for this name is because this ancient city was formed on a hill, from here visitors can see the whole new city – the city below. This place still retains the same old ruins: the central square with the lion fountain – a popular Italian architectural style, the old theater, the ancient church with sculptures tinted with the time.

What I like most is the winding cobblestone streets that have been preserved almost intact through the centuries. Although there are no modern house styles, each house is unique because it is hundreds or even thousands of years old and very well preserved. The streets in Bergamo are narrow and steep. The one-story houses with red flower pots hanging on the side windows look really fancy. Although only a small mountain town with a few thousand inhabitants, but Bergamo has many famous churches thousands of years old, built between the 10th and 15th centuries.

The houses on the street here are built with a very special stone. Every time the sun shines, the whole row of houses will glow bright white and sparkle like pearls. In the windows and balconies of the house, in addition to growing flowers and vines, people grow beautiful grapes…

As I wrote above, from San Vigilio hill to the upper citadel, you can catch the mountain train “Funicolare di San Vigilio” or walk. San Vigilio hill is higher than “Città Alta”, going downhill from this side is relatively easy. Going down, we enter the city through the Porta San Alessandro gate. The old citadel is called “Città Alta” along a main axis, from “Shoe Market Square” – “Piazza Mercato delle Scarpe”, where the train from the lower city climbs, then follows Via Gombito, passing Piazza Vecchia, where the architect Le Corbusier for a while did not know how excited he was to say this was the most beautiful square in the world.

Continue straight on Via Bartolomeo Colleoni where all the shops are lovely and you will come to la Cittadella. Or explore more Piazza Vecchia as two but one, there is almost no separation between it and Piazza Duomo – “The square of the cathedral”. Not one but three churches have doors that open onto the square. The most impressive is probably the church “Basilica di Santa Maria Maggiore”, built in the 12th century, but certainly has been changed many times since then. The exterior of the church is relatively simple in Roman architecture, but inside, even though I have been to many famous churches, I still have to look with eye A and the mouth O. The church is also unique in that it does not have any front door, but only two side doors built of marble, each door has a pair of lions standing guard: Porta dei Leoni rossi and Porta dei Leoni bianchi – “The door of the red lions” and ” The door of the white lions”.

This is the old square, in the heart of Citta Alta (old town). Here you’ll find the 400-year-old library Biblioteca Civica, the 12th-century Venetian Gothic Palazzo della Ragione (Court of Justice) and the 12th-century Torre Civica (Civil Tower).

If you climb 230 steps to the top of the 54m tower, you will have a 360-degree view of Bergamo. The 15th-century bell rings 180 times at 10 p.m. each night to celebrate the town’s medieval curfew.

On this journey, you can climb to the highest peaks of Bergamo, which has dominated the city for centuries. The oldest is the tower Torre di Gombito, free, only open on Monday every week, from April to October. Want to conquer the tower only has stairs with 263 steps, and because the stairs with narrow space, only 10 guests can go up to the tower each turn. Overlooking Piazza Vecchia is the Campanone bell tower, also known as Torre civica. Since it was built in the 16th century, it is still the tallest structure in Bergamo. Going up the Campanone tower is also simple, because for several years now, there has been an elevator that takes us to the top of the tower. Tickets to go up the tower combined with the city history museum is 5€. Every day at 10 pm, the big bell on the top of the tower will strike 100 hours, signaling the closing time of the city gate.

You have probably never seen so many incredible churches crammed into such a small place. Usually a city tends to have a beautiful church and a bunch of boring looking churches. In Bergamo, every church you enter is lavishly gilded, with beautiful ancient paintings and architecture that can make anyone devout.

For those who have abundant of time, there are two more beautiful gardens in the old town. To the northeast is the garden “la Rocca”, an old renovated fortress. To the northwest is the “Lorenzo Rota Botanical Garden”. At the highest points of the two spots above are great places to see the city and its periphery.

As written above, la “Città Alta” is an ancient citadel nestled within the city walls with a circumference of more than 5 kilometers built by the Venetians when they colonized the city for three centuries. The ancient citadel of Bergamo or more precisely the walls of “Mura venete di Bergamo” have been recognized as a UNESCO heritage site since 2017. There are 4 gates that open the upper citadel to the outside world. The most beautiful is probably the Porta San Giacomo gate and the stone bridge connecting it to the lower town. If anyone had the good fortune to be standing here or somewhere on the wall and watching Bergamo at dawn or dusk, watching the sun spread its warm rays down on a few rooftops on this side of the city, it would see a scene that one could copy like that and call it paradise.

If you just want to visit a cathedral, go to lIl Duomo and the university chapel in the old square in the old town. This is an urban church and inside you will find architectural imprints of different periods from the time of construction. They started building a small house in 600 BC, and from there they built more and more and the church got bigger and bigger.

Tempietto di Santa Croce: This is an another 11th-century house that you can easily miss, so pay close attention when passing. Once you get inside, you’ll be greeted by a series of murals. They all date back to the Middle Ages, just be aware that this place is only open at selected times of the year. If you are lucky, you will arrive at the opening time, otherwise you will only be able to visit the outside.

The Museo Donizettiano opened in 1906 and is a collection of works commemorating the famous Italian composer Donizetti. The interior of this building is impeccably filled with countless valuable works of art that the museum owns. From the paintings to the frescoes and the courtyard is sure to amaze you.

New city – Lower town

In the new neighborhood, it is said to be “new” to distinguish it from the old town of Bergamo at the top of the hill, but in fact the houses look very old. The house here is built of pale pink stone, hard and iridescent. These fairy-tale houses change wall color every time the light level changes, looking very strange.

The night here is really more charming than ever. Everywhere is lit up in golden light. The lights from cafes, restaurants, squares, and windows sparkled. The steep roads leading to the city center are bathed in dark patches. At night, the weather is cool, the wind from the sea blows in through the canals covering the city.

The central square is also an ideal place not to be missed when visiting this place. This is the oldest and most beautiful square in Italy. Standing on the octagonal bell tower in the square, you can see the whole view of the city. Walking around the square in the evenings, you can shop for anything you want in the stalls on the sidewalk, where locals and visitors are still busy.

Lovely little houses with balconies hanging full of flowers are the charm and highlight of this city. That charm is shown through every street, every street corner, every shopping store. When walking on the old streets and alleys and listening to the Italian love songs coming from the mouths of street musicians with their ccordion from somewhere far away, you will find it difficult to say goodbye this place…

I, like many other tourists, love to sit and sip a cup of coffee in a corner of the city center to look at the old mossy walls that are charming and attractive… to let eyes go along the balconies full of flowers on the beautiful doorways… Romantic scenes make people love and remember more when leaving this place.

What and where to eat?

Food prices in Bergamo are pretty much the same across all restaurants. Margheritas are around 4 euros, and pizzas with a wide selection will cost around 8 EUR. But they are of a quality that totally matches the price you pay.

Da Mimmo Bergamo Alta

Address: Via Bartolomeo Colleoni, 17, 24129 Bergamo BG, Italy Hours: 12–2:30 PM, 7–10:30 PM/Tuesday: 7–10:30 PM

More than just a restaurant, Da Mimmo is also the story of the dream of Mr. Demetrio “Mimmo” Amaddeo. “Mimmo” is a nickname for Demetrio. The dream of a Messina “boy” from the South of Italy to the North to work as a pizzeria but has a dream of one day opening his own restaurant. After months of working as a hired worker in Milan, “he” had enough money to buy a shop in Bergamo, which he himself called a mountain village. He and his wife rolled up their sleeves and immediately got to work.

The hardest thing is not how to make a good pizza, but how to buy the best ingredients for your pizza. The authentic mozzarella was only available in Milan at that time, so “Mimmo” rode his bicycle every day from Bergamo to Milan to and from Milan to buy ingredients. Then Mimmo convinced Teodosio, a young man from Bari, to open a cheese shop in Bergamo. Dragging Giovanni, a compatriot from Messina to Bergamo to supply seafood… Da Mimmo shop gradually grew with Bergamo, from a micro shop, the whole family of 9 lived in a 1-bedroom apartment right upstairs. Da Mimmo is now a shop more than 60 years old known to the whole Bergamo.

Three generations of the Amaddeo family have continued Mimmo’s dream. The day we came, his wife Lina was still sitting in the reception counter. His two sons, whether strangers or regular customers, still had a few intimate stories for everyone. The decoration of the shop is classic, a large space under stone arches, wooden tables, white tablecloths. Pizza variety, and a two-course menu with wine for a more reasonable price, 15€. Addresses that have existed for three generations and are nearly 70 years old have their reasons.

Caffe’ Della Funicolare

Address: Piazza Mercato delle Scarpe, 1, 24129 Bergamo BG, Italy Hours: 8 AM–2 AM/Tuesday: 8 AM–8 PM

Every late afternoon, after work, meeting at a bar with friends for a drink was a Milanese tradition, known as “Aperitivo”, before being spread beyond the borders of Lombardy. “Aperitivo” in Italian can be translated as aperitif. Normally, at Aperitivo time, a traditional bar will only charge for wine and not for specially prepared food for the meal. Hardly a bar has a nicer space to sit and have a drink when the sun goes down over Bergamo than at Caffè della Funicolare. The shop is located right next to the funicular station from the lower citadel to the upper citadel. As I wrote, if anyone has the lucky to see Bergamo at sunset, watching the sun spread its warm rays down on a few rooftops on this side of the city, will see a scene like a paradise.

La Marianna (Pasticceria La Marianna – Bergamo)

Address: L.go Colle Aperto, 4, 24129 Bergamo BG, Italy Hours: 7:30 AM–11:30 PM/Sunday: 8 AM–12 AM/Monday: 7:30 AM–8 PM

Here, in 1961, Mr. Enrico Panattoni invented Stracciatella milk cream, which became a classic more than half a century later. Just drop by here to eat a Stracciatella ice cream cone, it’s not because of the fame that the ice cream has lost its taste compared to the original. In the summer, the shop has a super-wide courtyard outside, right next to the Porta San Alessandro city gate. The first floor is a tea-cake salon, you can also try the typical polenta of the region, while the second floor has been expanded into a restaurant.

Circolino Città Alta

Address: Vicolo Sant’Agata, 19, 24129 Bergamo BG, Italy Hours: 8 AM–1 AM

This might come as a surprise since the site is actually a former prison but that adds to all the unique charm and thrill. If you go around the pedestrian road, you’ll notice a classic wooden door. So walk through it for the best Italian dining experience.

You’ll be served authentic Italian food while the music from the streets hums behind you. There’s also a wide range of wines to enjoy and an impressive dessert memu as well.

Where to stay?

Bes Hotel Bergamo West: A hotel that perfectly suited our needs for a road-trip. In Italy, when stopping in a large city, since most of the downtown areas are located in car-restricted zones (zones referred to as “ZTL”), when you not on the roadway, it’s best to find a stop outside, easy to park and convenient for commuting.

Bes Hotel Bergamo West is such a place, located right on the highway and about 5km west of Bergamo, so it only takes 10-15 minutes to drive to the city center. Of course, this hotel is required to have a car, but it perfectly suits the needs of our group this time. The 4-star hotel, so the rooms are relatively new and spacious (more than 20 square meters). The king size bed is large and has enough room to add a third bed. The hotel has free parking, right next to it is a sports club. The club’s restaurant, which is open until late and reasonably priced, is a great way to fight hunger. And especially, we were able to book for 36€/double room for a 4**** hotel, which in my opinion is a very good price. You can check rates, reviews and book it on Agoda.com or Booking.com .

In addition, we also recommend ‘ B&B al vicolo ‘, this is like a large apartment with three bedrooms, one with a double bed and the other two with multiple beds. Two very nice and clean bathrooms upstairs and a dining area and TV room downstairs. Plus, you get a delicious local breakfast.
