Itinerary

1. 1

   La Citta Alta

   3h

   Meet your driver in the morning in Milan and board our air-conditioned minivan with on-board Wi-Fi. Relax and, during the approximately 1-hour transfer, admire the Lombard countryside on the way to Bergamo, one of the best-preserved medieval cities in Italy. Enjoy a free visit through the cobbled streets of Bergamo Città Alta. Perched on a hill and surrounded by walls, it still retains the layout of its ancient streets and the medieval and Renaissance atmosphere evoked by Piazza Vecchia and Piazza del Duomo. The Palazzo della Ragione and Santa Maria Maggiore harken back to the municipal period, while the Colleoni Chapel, built to house the Mausoleum of the Condottiero and his daughter, brings Renaissance elegance to life. In Piazza Vecchia stands the Palazzo del Podestà, symbol of Venetian power over Bergamo, built in the 14th century and frescoed by Bramante in 1477.
