Bergamo

What to visit in Bergamo?

Characterized by the division of the city into two levels, the lower town, modern and dynamic, and the famous “Upper Town”, a real historical and artistic jewel.

It is no coincidence that it has become part of the destinations recommended by all major international tour operators.

A unique reality in Lombardy, especially for the ability to combine the ingenuity of man and the beauty of nature.
