Things to do in Bergamo
A food tour is a GREAT way to get to know a city. Full disclosure, I haven't taken this one because it wasn't available the days I was there this last time. But it has great reviews and I'll take it next time!
Not a foodie? You can take a private tour of the upper and/or the lower towns. These are offered as private tours which means they are a bit pricey, but it also means that it won't be a cookie-cutter kind of experience.

Bergamo has many good spots to grab a bite, but these are ones I can personally recommend!
