Visit Bergamo

Beautiful town, especially Alta. We found this location great for using public transport. We took the train to Milan on one day and a train to Lake Garda another day. The people are friendly and lots of choice for food and drinks.

Although I have been to Bergamo 24 years ago, I don't remember it being so beautiful and interesting. The Architecture is amazing, with beautiful, grand buildings almost everywhere you look in the city centre and so clean and attended to. Wonderful variety of cafes and restaurants along the main street, with a very effective, regular bus timetable which we used every day to get to and from Citta Alta where we stayed. The train station had regular trains that took us to Milan 45 minutes away and also to the mountains and lakes. Bergamo Citta Alta is also beautiful with many buses going to and fro every 10 / 15 minutes from the city. Food and service in both areas are really very good and although the staff appreciated my Italian attempts, most spoke English. Food and travel were also good value. Recommend train ride to Varenna on Lake Como, absolutely beautiful! Can't wait to go to Bergamo again.

It may just have been the time of year we went (April) but very few restaurants in our immediate area stayed open late. We arrived at one at 9.20pm to be told that they were shortly closing the kitchen! By the time we got to another we were told we would have to chose quickly what we wanted to eat as they were closing soon. So we felt quite rushed to choose and eat. We ate at Vox restaurant on 2 nights which was very nice and they stayed open late. The nearest supermarket advertised as closing at 9pm but would not let us in for just one item at 8.45pm! The area was ideal to use as a base to visit other areas; Milan, Lake Garda and Lake Como and also nearby Verona Citta alta was lovely though although we only went there in the daytime so can't comment on places to eat an evening meal.

Beautiful new town with many shops and cafes. And a very interesting old town with 12th-13th century architecture, narrow streets and beautiful churches. It sits on a high hill and has stunning views of the new town. There are plenty of cafes and pizzerias where you can try delicious pizza and eat a delicious cake.

I truly loved the history and scenery of this city. The people were always friendly and welcoming. The restaurants were very friendly and welcoming as well as being reasonably priced. By the way, the food was delicious too!!

Visiting Bergamo was one of the most memorable moments of our journey, and I'm eager to share my impressions of this amazing city. Bergamo is a place where every corner is steeped in history, and the air is infused with a sense of Italian charm and elegance. Walking through the cobbled streets of the Old Town (Città Alta), surrounded by Venetian walls that are part of UNESCO World Heritage, we were struck by the architectural beauty and atmosphere that seems to transport you back in time. The squares, filled with lively cafes and restaurants, offer exceptional dishes of local cuisine, allowing you to enjoy true Italian hospitality. The New Town (Città Bassa) is equally enchanting, with its elegant shops, modern bars, and panoramic views of the Old Town. The blend of history and modernity, traditional culture and innovation, makes Bergamo a unique place to explore. However, the most impressive aspect of Bergamo is its people. The locals are welcoming and ready to share their love for their city, making your stay even warmer and more memorable. Bergamo is not just a tourist attraction; it's a place where history, culture, and modern life merge together, creating something truly magical. I wholeheartedly recommend everyone to visit this city and see its beauty and uniqueness for themselves.
