Surrounded by the 16th-century Venetian Walls, the medieval Città Alta is dominated by the Rocca di Bergamo fortress. Lovely piazzas house the arcaded Palazzo della Ragione, the Basilica of Santa Maria Maggiore with its gilded interior, and the intricate marble facade of the Cappella Colleoni. Narrow alleys are lined with upscale indie boutiques and delis, as well as centuries-old cafes, trattorias, and wine bars.

Best way to visit Citta Alta. The best time to go is in the morning when it is less crowded.

Traveler advice

Getting around

Moving around with public transport!

The bus stop is very close to the apartment. Bus number 5 C ( Via Corridoni angolo Via Radini Tedeschi)) goes to the city center. It will take no more than 10 minutes. Also, the tram with the station (Bergamo Negrisoli) located just behind the gas station (Q8 easy) also goes to the city center near the Train Station of Bergamo.
Getting around

Supermarkets

7 minutes walking (750 m), Via F.Corridone 30, you can find two Supermarkets: 1- Esselunga 2- Aldi These are excellent ones with all you need for a short or long stay.
