Overview

Discover Bergamo, a unique city, but with two different and complementary souls: the historic Upper City and the vibrant Lower City.

Don't limit yourself to the historic center, Bergamo has much more to offer!

This tour offers an immersion in the historical, architectural and cultural wonders of Bergamo:
from the Venetian walls of the Upper Town to the lively boulevards of the Lower Town, from alleys to theaters, between modern and historical squares, exploring hidden corners and being amazed by local traditions and gastronomy.

A strong point: we will use the historic funicular to move from one era to another and admire amazing landscapes.

The tour will take place between morning and afternoon, with time for lunch break to choose between Upper or Lower Town.

The possibility to customize the tour, possibly reversing itinerary for those staying in the Upper Town, allows you to adapt the day to your interests and make the visit truly unforgettable!
