CANNES bus to BERGAMO

CANNES

The luxury resort on the Côte d'Azur, the film capital, associated with wealth, famous actors or directors was until recently a small fishing settlement. Today Cannes is a sizable city, but one that can be visited in a few hours. Its touristic part with the main attractions extends over an area of less than one and a half kilometers. It is thanks to the annual festival of cinema that Cannes wakes up and comes alive for several weeks, serving as a destination for many tourists and fans of film stars.

What to see in Cannes? The top attractions in the city are those associated with the Film Festival. However, in addition to the Avenue of the Stars and the Festival Palace, it's also worth exploring a bit of Le Suquet, the oldest part of the city with its towering 11th-century castle. Château de la Castre was once meant to protect the coast. It now houses a museum that collects artifacts from various eras, including collections of primitive art or musical instruments from around the world. The castle's tower offers a beautiful view of the entire area.

While in Cannes, it is also worth going to the local market Marché Forville, where you can buy fresh vegetables, fruits, seafood and fish and local cheeses. Just over a kilometer from the city is the small archipelago of the Léonian Islands, with remains from Roman times, a Cistercian monastery or the historic Royal Fort.

Cannes - transportation. How to get to Cannes?

BERGAMO

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.
