ABOUT THE DESTINATION
Bergamo is a Lombard city in two parts: the Città Alta, a hilltop medieval and Renaissance core enclosed by the 16th-century Venetian walls (a UNESCO World Heritage Site), and the Città Bassa, the modern lower town below. The funicular-linked upper town holds the Piazza Vecchia, the Basilica of Santa Maria Maggiore and the Colleoni Chapel, with views across the Lombard plain to the Alps.
