Bergamo is a city in Northern Italy in the Lombardy region lying at the southern foothills of the Bergamo Alps. It was founded around 390 BC by the Celts as Bergheim ("city on a hill"), and was occupied by the Romans in the 1st century BC and renamed Bergomum. In 575 Bergamo was established as the capital of the principality of the Longobards. The historic part of the city, which is so popular with tourists, is located on a hill, which can be reached by a funicular railroad. There you can find many valuable and delightful monuments and feel the atmosphere of a small Italian town. However, when visiting Bergamo, you can find accommodations at a better price primarily in the Lower Town.
When visiting Bergamo, it is worth noting the 16th century defensive walls surrounding the historic part of the city (Città Alta). The focal point in this part of town is Piazza Vecchia with the Palazzo della Ragione and the Town Tower (Campanone), which dates back to the 12th century and is over 50 meters high - the best vantage point in the old town. Also worth seeing are the Cathedral and the Basilica of Santa Maria Maggiore. Particularly noteworthy are the richly decorated interiors of the latter temple.
An attraction a bit off to the side that many people overlook is the hill of San Vigilio with a beautiful panorama of Città Alta, all of Bergamo and the surrounding countryside. And it's a place worth visiting, especially since you can help yourself by taking the Funicolare S. railroad. Vigilio, whose station is just outside the city walls, 500 meters from Piazza Vecchia. On the 496-meter hill are the ruins of a castle with a tower, as well as a small park and fountain.
Bergamo is best reached by bus or plane, due to its size and low fares. Bergamo airport is 6 kilometers from the city center, and less than 50 kilometers from Milan. Therefore, there are often buses from it taking tourists directly to the fashion city, bypassing Bergamo. However, if you are interested in Bergamo itself and are planning a longer vacation in the area, taking the bus may be the most advantageous, more accessible and environmentally friendly option for getting there. Bergamo bus departs from many cities in Poland and Europe, and you can find tickets and a convenient connection on our website. Welcome aboard our coaches!
