We came on the bus from Bergamo for a very enjoyable, relaxed afternoon. As nice as Bergamo is it was great to escape the crowds & just wander the empty streets enjoying all Clusone has to offer.

Beautiful old town & Mondays market, which stretches from the parking area above old town to the main road below. Dont miss the Basilica Santa Maria at the top of the old town. A few nice Bars to visit for wine or coffee especially Bar Avenida, who serve lovely snacks with your drink.

We visited this town on the way to Passo della presolana. The town is very nice surrounded by hills and with a nice historic centre.

The tower of Clusone Town Hall features an amazing surprise: in the middle of this quiet village of the Seriana Valley there’s an incredible clock.
The local mathematician Pietro Fanzago designed this mechanical marvel in 1583 and it is still working today with all the original pieces!
The clock face is not just exquisitely decorated. With only one needle it shows (because also the three concentric circles turn):hours, days, months, signs of the zodiac, sun and moon phases and the duration of the light and dark hours. In fact, the external circle is divided into 24 parts instead of 12, while its hands turn anticlockwise!
There’s more. If you observe it carefully.
Can you detect all these information?

This clock is set in the main square of Clusone that is interesting in itself. The clock seems way over the top for the size of the village / town and very intricate. Good to see.

Clusone is a beautiful village at the foot of the Valley Seriana (BG), visiting it is possible both to admire the countless shops in the center is the frescoes that decorate homes and churches during the Middle Ages.
Of particular importance are the clock tower clock in the square, and the fresco called the dance of death in the courtyard of the Basilica.
To visit both the village and the church with important frescoes it takes 4 hours.

We caught the tram from Bergamo to Albino where a friendly bus driver waited until we bought tickets to Clusone. The trip was fun and within a 10 minute walk from Clusone bus station you are within the medieval streets. We visited the town square with its fantastic clock, the Dance of Death, the church and had lunch. We were certainly were pleased we stopped over en route to Lake Iseo. The journey was well worth it.

I decided to visit this town after reading some suggestions on Trip Advisor and I am verry happy that I went there. I took the bus from Bergamo bus station and when I was coming back - the bus to Albino and then a tram to Bergamo. The town doesn't look very interesting when you get off the bus at the main station. But climb up and you will find some beautiful buildings with fascinating facades. And the big surprise is in the town centre - a tower with a picturesque clock, beatiful church and some other buildings worth to look at. And I loved the paintings on the walls, especially the skeletons! It was very very quiet as I visited Clusone in the early afternoon,I presume it becomes even nicer in the evening.

Planning a visit to Clusone and will be spending a week in a villeta that my cousin owns. Our first trip. I'm also a photographer so I'm looking to be efficient in my exploration. Besides the things I've read about already, looking for suggestions that might make the trip remarkable. I would also like to get to Venice for a day... is it a train? Bus? or do I need a car.

There is a bus from Milan to Clusone, but nothing from Clusone to Venice. To go to Venice you should come back to Milan and take a train or, alternatively, I would suggest to take a car

Ciao a tutti
Non siamo mai stati in val seriana, volevamo fare un giro " toccata e fuga" dal sabato pomeriggio alla domenica mattina. Clusone potrebbe essere una buona meta anche a livello di passeggiate ( molto tranquille, c'è una persona anziana)?
Come temperatura si sta bene o meglio salire un po' e, in questo caso, dove sarebbe carino andare?
Grazie mille per le risposte!!

Clusone è molto bello da girare e fermarsi per un aperitivo però è un po' basso ( 600 metri) il mio consiglio è di salire al passo della presolana e fare 10 minuti di strada per andare a vedere il famoso "salto degli sposi" e magari fermarsi a mangiare al ristorante "scanapà" .
Il mercato del lunedì dura tutta la giornata?e precisamente la via?...grazie

Pubblica una recensione che riguarda un comune vicino, PIARIO, e la inserisce nel contesto dedicato a CLUSONE...un piccolo aggiornamento geografico sarebbe utile o quantomeno la richiesta che venga correttamente creata un apagina inerente a PIARIO

Piario resta molto vicino se non "attaccato" a Clusone, visto che una delle tante località di Clusone, Fiorine, confina proprio con Piario mediante la pineta, il Parco Avventura.
