2Bergamo

Travelers who are flying into Milan when visiting Italy can escape the tourist crowds by heading northeast to Bergamo, a less sought-after but still gorgeous Italian summer destination. This city’s historic district is encircled by charming Venetian walls and boasts cobblestone streets that are like something out of a fairytale.

It’s often thought of as an architectural masterpiece, which is just one of the many reasons to visit. Besides visiting historical landmarks in the old upper town, travelers can stroll through the Piazza Vecchia or visit one of the many museums.
