Bergamo, located in Lombardy, is often referred to as the “City of Two Worlds” due to its unique geography.
The upper town (Città Alta) is perched on a hill and is encircled by Venetian walls, offering panoramic views of the surrounding area. The lower town (Città Bassa) is a bustling urban center with lively squares, shops, and restaurants. Bergamo’s historic upper town is a treasure trove of medieval and Renaissance architecture, including the stunning Basilica di Santa Maria Maggiore. The town is also known for its delicious cuisine, including polenta and casoncelli pasta.
