Tour description
Bergamo is one of northern Italy's most beautiful cities, crowned by a stunning walled upper town, the Città Alta, that sits on a hill above the modern city. Ringed by mighty Venetian walls and full of elegant squares and churches, it feels like a perfectly preserved Renaissance stage set. On this walking tour a local guide reveals its history and charm.
You will stand in the graceful Piazza Vecchia, admire the ornate Colleoni Chapel, and walk stretches of the great Venetian walls. Along the way you will hear about the merchants and painters of Lombardy and the city's long history. Elegant and atmospheric, Bergamo is a wonderful city to explore on foot.
