Review & Frequenly Asked Questions:
Bergamo is a charming city in Italy's Lombardy region, located just an hour northeast of Milan's town center. The region, which is home to a population of more than 120,000, is known as one of Italy's most scenic regions, set against the backdrop of the nearby Alps. Its historic upper district, known as Città Alta, retains classic cobblestone streets and Venetian walls, home to grand architectural landmarks such as the Duomo di Bergamo, the Romanesque Basilica di Santa Maria Maggiore, and the Cappella Colleoni, which features frescoes painted in the 18th century by Tiepolo.
In the region's modern city center, Città Bassa, visitors can explore attractions like the GAMeC gallery of contemporary and modern art and the Accademia Carrara, which houses one of Italy's most important collections of paintings from the Medieval, Renaissance, and Baroque eras. Map of Bergamo
