(Translated by Google) VENICE IN BERGAMO ??? Bergamo is divided into two sectors: high (old) low (new). The visitor who arrives in Bergamo for the first time, has the impression that the old city has been placed on a pedestal. As if you wanted to show its magnificence. In fact, the upper town is a gem. Entirely rebuilt during the Renaissance period under the rule of Venice. The Republic of Venice left a priceless treasure to the people of Bergamo. You can see it well when you arrive in Piazza Duomo. You can admire Venetian palaces, the cathedral of San Alessandro (beautiful outside, splendid inside), the Baptistery and other monuments. Venice has once again demonstrated that without technologies, only with the skills of engineering conception. With his architects, painters and sculptors he has demonstrated his art to the whole world. All the streets of the upper town exude art. It should be visited all the way up to the walls that surround the city where you can enjoy a breathtaking view of the lower city. However not stingy in art and history. The upper town is also suitable for lovers and the simple tourist who wants to update their gastronomic baggage by savoring the typical cuisine. When you return home you will want to go back another time (Original) VENEZIA A BERGAMO???Bergamo si divide in due settori:alta( vecchia) bassa (nuova). Il visitatore che arriva a Bergamo la prima volta, ha l'impressione che la città vecchia sia stata posata su un piedistallo. Come se si volesse mostrare la sua magnificenza. Infatti la città alta è un gioiellino. Ricostruita per intero durante il periodo rinascimentale sotto il dominio di Venezia. La Repubblica di Venezia ha lasciato ai bergamaschi un tesoro inestimabile. Lo si nota bene arrivando in piazza Duomo. Si ammirano palazzi veneziani, la cattedrale di san Alessandro(bella fuori splendida dentro) il Battistero ed altri monumenti. Venezia ancora una volta ha dimostrato che senza tecnologie, solo con le capacità di concepimento ingegneristico. Con i suoi architetti, pittori e scultori ha dimostrato al mondo intero la sua arte. Tutte le strade della città alta trasudano arte. Va visitata tutta fino alle mura che circondano la città dove si gode di un panorama mozzafiato della bassa città. Comunque non avara di arte e di storia. La città alta è adatta anche agli innamorati ed al semplice turista che voglia aggiornare il proprio bagaglio gastronomico assaporando la cucina tipica. Quando ritornerete a casa vi verrà voglia di tornarci un'altra volta

The main square in the old part of town. Unfortunately no cafes to sit at and admire the beauty, shame. Because the tower and church is very nice to photograph.

Wonderfully experience. A little touristy, but with some nice surprises along the way. Great Gelato on site ( cherry was my favorite), but wouldn't recommend the restaurants. Was able to get some great pics and a nice ride on the hillside tram-train for my daughter...

Among the busiest places in the city of Bergamo. Interesting plaza with one small fountain in the middle and very authentic picturesque buildings that surround it.

The beautiful old town of Bergamo, we wandered around all the old buildings and had some lovely food and drinks.

This is the core square of Bergamo and a popular hangout place with coffee shops, pizza shops, restaurants, museums, and magnificent historical buildings around it. It was built on the remains of the old Roman forum. From the 15th century the square buildings the surround the square were starting to get built giving it the rectangular shape that it has now and making it the central piazza of Bergamo. Venetian lions can still be observed on the walls dating to the time when they ruled over this area.

(Translated by Google) A gem of a city ... to see! (Original) Un gioiellino di città... da vedere!

In some ways like a mini Rome. The old city of Bergamo is a charming, lovely place. A little bit off the plaza on the main walk street there is this restaurant that serves facaccia bread. The facaccia bread is reasonably priced and very tasty. There's also Marianna's a delightful gelatiria that claims to be the originator of stracciatella. This is one of those cities that exceeds expectations but is not in the big guide books

Of course a must see location in the Citta Alta. Very picturesque square with gorgeous structures circling it. Obviously you can expect it to be very touristy. I recommend visiting early in the morning or visiting during a less crowded time of the year. I was there in early December and the it wasn’t too crowded at all. The weather was gorgeous and it was easier to appreciate the history and get around the old town. Overall a very good experience and beautiful location in Bergamo.

A gem that captures the essence of the city. With its historical buildings, cozy cafes, and lively atmosphere, it's the perfect place to soak up the charm of Bergamo. Take a seat, sip on a cappuccino, and immerse yourself in the picturesque surroundings of this timeless square.

Very beautiful square, in the fantastic old city of Bergamo Citta Alta!!

(Translated by Google) Family outing. We went up by funicular to the upper town of Bergamo. Tickets are available at the bar next door. We visited everything in one day. Very nice. (Original) Gita in famiglia. Siamo saliti con funicolare,nella città alta di Bergamo.I biglietti si fanno al bar di fianco.Abboamo visitato tutto in giornata.Molto bello.

Beautiful place to visit with various attractions in the vicinity. Most are free though some you may have to pay! Nice atmosphere though not the smiliest or friendliest compared with southern Italy. There are lots of cafes, bars and shops up there. You can enjoy a day up here. It can get very cold in the winter so appropriate outfit might be necessary.

Must see part of Citta Alta,spectacular medivial arhitecture and the unique atmosphere here is so speacial.Have a cofee or a refreshment while enjoying this spectaculare place.

WHAT A BEAUTIFUL PLACE. Marvelous architecture. Great pastry shops. Clothing boutiques. Unique shopping and dining experience But most of all what a fabulous view!!!

Such a lovely, picturesque Old Town on a hill, with cathedrals and quaint houses, restaurants and shops. A perfect place to spend a sunny summer Sunday. We went up with the funicular, we had to wait for like 15 minutes, because there was a queue.

Such an amazing place to visit. Shops and restaurants are of good quality, well worth a visit

Beautiful old town. Not so crowded

Must-see. The easiest way of getting to this raised square is by 'Funicolare di Bergamo' cable railway, which is very interesting on its own. Lots of monuments, nice restaurants around the square, unforgetable atmosphere of medieval walls.

Città Alta is a must see! Piazza Vechia is aomewhat the centre od this all. The cathedral, the museums and many restaurants, cafe, gelaterie and many more are sited around here. After visiting the cathedral its nice to sit on any of the restaurants and cafe around the plaza or take a moment. Quite often there are musicians playing music for the audience which is lovely.

Very nice place. I was there with my wife. Tried the original stracciatella icecream. You see the size of chocolates put in it .. Tether town head a good atmosphere.

Very beautiful square, lots of street performers 🥰

Nice excursion to Citta Alta. Rode the furnicular up early, beat the heat and waiting in line. Beautiful views and buildings.

Center of old Bergamo. The building architecture flanking the square is very elaborate and well preserved. Many tourists spend a leisurely time sitting around the piazza with focaccias or gelatos in hand while admiring the views. Spring water available from the fountain in the middle of the square.

The center square market of old Bergamo. Lots of f restaurants and cafés to choose from, a great place to take a break after visiting the old town.

Very beautiful old town square. Worth a visit if in Bergamo. Very close to the fernicular station above. Can also walk to Baluardo di San Giacomo to get a great view of the city from the hill top.

Lovely place and very friendly people. Great food. Must visit if in Italy.

(Translated by Google) Very nice place, we had a nice and long walk 😊 (Original) Posto molto bello , abbiamo fatto una bella e lunga camminata 😊

Bellisimo🍀

Very beautiful place

Such an amazing place!

A central square of Citta Alta. Nice to hang around. Check the gelateria, they have delicious home made gelato.

Very nice piazza. Good place to take a break and have a wine of beer with amazing views!

Really beautiful place, lots of cafés and lots of attractions near. Full of historic buildings a great lace to people watch!

Nice family and social place both during the day and at night. Can get quite windy being so high up, but during the summer it feels a lot cooler than down in the new town.

Spectacular, like the whole of Bergamo Alta! Everywhere you turn there's an historical building, rich in details and magnificently kept.

Piazza Vecchia represents the core of Città Alta: it has been the heart of political power for centuries and it keeps being one of the most popular places for Bergamo’s citizens to spend some time with family and friends. Unfortunately when we have visited it was under construction. No matter what we spent evening in 2 restaurants there as it was most busy place in September, Monday.

In contrast to Milano, Bergamo and especially this place feels very old and despite modern shops and restaurants, the square retains a certain aura of the days long past. I would not say it is better then Milano and it is not an unforgettable experience, but surely a very nice trip
