The Cittá Alta of Bergamo is an amazing medieval with its well-preserved medieval historic center with intact city walls, towers, beautiful buildings. In the cathedral are visible (non-payment) some interesting paintings of the choir including the interesting Martyrdom of St. John the Bishop of Giambattista Tiepolo. It is a bustling center, 40 km from Milan teeming with exhibitions and activities.... More

Beautiful old portion of the city with a number of good restaurants and shops. Fun to walk around - you can walk up or talk the funicular

Lovely to walk around, lots of cobbled streets, shops and restaurants. There is a cover charge on all restaurants but only a couple of euros each. Take the funiculars - stunning views from the top.

Although a 'funicolare' is available, and occasionally we did use it, the walk up Sant Allessandro is satisfying,knowing that the meal at the top will be worth it.A beautiful old city, so much history and ancient architecture,it is worth visiting more than once.
