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.
