Bergamo is a beautiful and ancient city, of about 120,000 inhabitants, located in between the plains and the mountains. In fact it is divided into two parts: the oldest city on the hill (Upper Town), and the modern city which stretches along the plain (Lower Town): as an element of separation there are the beautiful Venetian walls of the sixteenth century.
Rich in history, art, monuments, and magnificent views, it is a unique city, and it is certainly worth visiting with us!
In various parts of the Lower Town are still several buildings in a “fascist Style” that were built in the period 1930-1940, as well as churches, theaters, and various monuments, while the Upper Town will surprise you with its medieval buildings, narrow streets and the famous Piazza Vecchia, with its beautiful churches and the Palazzo della Ragione, where the town was administered.
The Venetian walls offer you a beautiful view.
