Must-see from Milan: Bergamo Upper Town Day Trip

Away from mass tourism but not far from Milan (just 45 minutes) Bergamo boasts a unique position: it stands at just 1-hour ride from the Alpes and from the Iseo Lake. Another peculiarity is that it is divided into a lower and an upper part: while the lower part represents the modern and industrial side of the city, the upper old town still maintains a unique, Medieval charm thanks to the well-preserved buildings and to its structure, full of history and traditions. Moreover, Bergamo Alta (Upper Bergamo) offers its visitors a breath-taking panorama over the lower town and its surroundings.

Let this recently listed UNESCO World Heritage Site surprise you with its elegant charm!

Meet your licensed guide and your driver in Milan and enjoy a 1-hour ride towards Bergamo on a luxury car/minivan.

Once in the city centre, you will get on the characteristic funicular railway that connects the lower to the upper part of the city and start discovering Bergamo Alta.
