2Bergamo – The City of Two Worlds

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.
