Bergamo Unmissables

Bergamo is defined by its two distinct levels: the medieval Città Alta and the modern Città Bassa. This selection features the UNESCO-listed 16th-century Venetian walls, the historic Piazza Vecchia with its 12th-century civic tower, and the Accademia Carrara's Renaissance masterpieces. The list spans the city's history from the Romanesque Basilica of Santa Maria Maggiore to the 19th-century Teatro Donizetti, connected by a vintage funicular system that offers panoramic views over the Lombardy plains.

Bergamo's Città Alta is a walled Renaissance hill town lifted almost intact above the modern city below. This walk crosses its medieval gate towers and Venetian ramparts, and the square where the cathedral, a great Romanesque basilica, and a mercenary captain's marble mausoleum stand side by side. Nine stops, roughly an hour of walking plus time to linger, with an optional climb to a hilltop castle at the end. The walk starts at Torre del Gombito on Via Gombito, a short walk up from the top station of the Città Alta funicular.
