What people say

Wiktoria Górska-Kijanka

"The Venetian walls of Bergamo, an impressive architectural structure from the 16th century, have remained well-preserved due to the lack of war damage over the centuries. The walls consist of 14 bastions, 2 levels, 32 sentry boxes (only one of which still exists), 100 gun openings, 2 powder magazines, and 4 gates."

Italian city from a postcard: one day in Bergamo

During my trip to Italy, I spontaneously decided to spend a day in Bergamo, and I was pleasantly surprised by how much this city has to offer—more so than even nearby Milan, for example. When I picture a classic Italian postcard city, Bergamo now comes to mind. With amazing food (of course), charming little alleyways filled with souvenirs and regional products, and beautiful historic architecture, it has everything you’d want from a city nestled near the Alps. The city of Bergamo is located in northern Italy's Lombardy region. Bergamo is made up of two parts: the modern extension in the plains below and the old walled core, known as Città Alta ('Upper Town,') situated inside a group of hills. Encircled by vast Venetian defensive systems, the upper town has been recognised as a UNESCO World Heritage Site since July 9, 2017. Let me show you what’s worth seeing!
