Book a transfer from Milan to Bergamo — from Italy's sleek fashion and design capital to one of northern Italy's most beautiful surprises: a stunning medieval hilltop city enclosed by magnificent Venetian walls, with a futuristic lower city below.
The 55 km journey takes 45 minutes to 1 hour heading northeast via the A4 motorway across the Lombardy plain, with the dramatic profile of Bergamo Alta (the upper walled city) appearing on its hilltop ahead.
Bergamo is two cities in one — the Città Alta (Upper City), enclosed by magnificent 16th-century Venetian walls (UNESCO World Heritage), is a perfectly preserved medieval hill town of cobblestoned piazzas, Romanesque churches, and Renaissance palaces accessible by funicular from the modern Città Bassa (Lower City) below. The Piazza Vecchia is one of Italy's most harmonious squares, the Basilica of Santa Maria Maggiore dazzles with its ornate interior, the Cappella Colleoni showcases exquisite Renaissance sculpture, and the Venetian walls offer panoramic walks with views to the Alps. Bergamo is also a gastronomic destination — the home of casoncelli pasta, polenta e osei (a marzipan cake), and Stracciatella gelato was invented here. The city's airport (Milan Bergamo) makes it a major transit point, but the upper city deserves far more than a passing visit.
