Guide to Bergamo

The ancient city of Bergamo is like a drawing from an incunabulum. Of course, we are talking about the upper town, situated on the slopes of the Alps near the river with a resonant name, the Po. From the newer, less interesting part of Bergamo, you can ascend to the old town by funicular.

The best tours to this area are guided tours, but they can also be called exploratory. After all, the sights in the Italian city are literally at every step. A vacation in Bergamo is full of surprises and discoveries, and the lively spirit of the city only adds enthusiasm to the guests.

And indeed, a city with over two thousand years of history has plenty to tell people. Look for the cheapest last-minute tours to save money for excursions and trips to the surroundings.

Moreover, it is quite possible to find inexpensive packages to Bergamo. On average, a trip to this city will cost around 500-600 EUR, but you can find even more economical prices. And once you are there, you will find plenty to keep yourself occupied.

Take a stroll in the Cathedral Square, visit Bergamo Cathedral, and be sure to visit the castle on the rock. Previously, it housed the Capitoline Hill with the Temple of Jupiter. Chapels, cathedrals, temples, striking examples of Gothic architecture, narrow streets, and mysterious squares create an unprecedented atmosphere of a slightly gloomy fairy tale.

The cost of last-minute trips to Bergamo decreases by February-March, and you can find affordable prices for flights and accommodation in hotels during the peak summer tourist season. However, keep in mind that one day is not enough to explore the city, and even three days might not be sufficient to see everything.
