Bergamo trip planner

In the foothills of the Alps, Bergamo is features a wealth of artistic treasures and a charming medieval atmosphere. It boasts two separate city centers, each with its own attractions. The upper city (citta alta) is a medieval hilltop town with such places to visit as Renaissance buildings surrounded by 17th-century defensive walls. The lower city (citta bassa) is a modern district of busy streets, residential buildings, shops, and restaurants. A network of cable cars, several major roads, and a series of footpaths connect this real-life tale of two cities. Driving and parking in the heart of the upper city can be a serious challenge, especially during the peak hours of the day, so sightseeing in this part of Bergamo is best done on foot or by bicycle.
