What to expect
La Citta Alta
Pass by
Bergamo is a town of two parts: Bergamo Alta (“the high town”) and Bergamo Bassa (“the low town”), connected by the historic cable car.
In the heart of Bergamo Alta, we’ve selected dishes that capture the region’s food culture: from traditional farmers’ meals to richly prepared meats, and even gelato stracciatella, which was first created here.
Guided by our local Foodie, you’ll follow a secret itinerary within the Città Alta walls, exploring bold flavors and delicate scents, from the origins of Lombard cuisine to the contemporary Bergamo food scene.
Palazzo Moroni
45m
Let’s begin the tour with a classic aperitivo, featuring toasted bread slices topped with a variety of local garnishments. Each bite is perfectly paired with a glass of Valcalepio red wine, allowing you to savor the rich flavors of the region and set the tone for the culinary journey ahead.
Basilica di Santa Maria Maggiore
45m
Next, we move to our second stop. In one of Bergamo Alta’s most charming restaurants, we’ll savor traditional casoncelli or Foiade, a classic Sunday dish of the local tradition, experiencing the authentic flavors that have been enjoyed in the region for generations.
Piazza Vecchia
1h
We’ll stroll past Piazza Vecchia and arrive at our next stop, where we’ll taste the famous polenta with lard and cheese, a hearty and traditional dish that perfectly represents Bergamo’s rich culinary heritage.
30m
Finally taste delicious ice cream, "stracciatella" flavour and the inevitable conclusion of every Italian proper meal: espresso coffee.
