Bergamo is a city with a distinct dual personality. The Città Alta, the upper town, sits on the hills and retains its medieval character, while the Città Bassa or the lower town, is modern and bustling. The Venetian walls, a UNESCO World Heritage site, encircle the Città Alta, offering stunning views of the surrounding Lombardy plains and distant Alps. Within the walls, visitors can explore historic landmarks like Piazza Vecchia, with its impressive Palazzo della Ragione and Duomo. The Basilica di Santa Maria Maggiore boasts a stunning Baroque interior. Adjacent to it is the Colleoni Chapel, renowned for its intricate marble façade. Visitors can explore the Rocca di Bergamo, once a medieval fortress and now a history museum. Art lovers will appreciate the Accademia Carrara, one of Italy’s finest art galleries. Among its treasures are works by Botticelli, Raphael, and Titian. Bergamo is also known for its culinary specialities, including polenta taragna, a dish made with a blend of cornmeal and buckwheat flour, enriched with local cheeses and butter. Another local speciality is casoncelli alla bergamasca, a traditional stuffed pasta, typically filled with a mixture of meats, breadcrumbs, and spices, and served with butter and sage.
Just 25 km from Bergamo, San Pellegrino Terme is a charming spa town known for its elegant thermal baths and the stunning Art Nouveau Grand Hotel. The Bergamasque Alps, stretching 40 to 60 km away, offer incredible spots for hiking, skiing, and exploring dramatic mountain landscapes. For a peaceful lakeside retreat, Lake Iseo, 35 km away, is surrounded by picturesque towns, and Monte Isola, the largest lake island in Europe, is perfect for hiking and cycling. A little farther out, Lake Como, just 40 to 50 km from Bergamo, is renowned for its scenery, charming lakeside villages, and grand historic villas.
