1Day 1 Bergamo
PLEASE NOTE! This guided tour DOES NOT include transportation services. The meeting point is directly in Bergamo. Travel to the upper city is on your own: public transportation is recommended over cars.
During the day, we will have the opportunity to visit the splendid Accademia Carrara, recently reorganized and reopened to the public. Its collection boasts masterpieces by Pisanello, Bellini, Botticelli, Mantegna, Raphael, Canaletto, Boccioni, de Chirico, and Kandinsky, among others. At the end of a day rich in history, art, and beauty, we will enjoy a magnificent sunset.
The guided tour of Bergamo’s treasures is a one-day trip to discover one of the most beautiful cities in Northern Italy. From the 16th-century Venetian walls, listed as a UNESCO World Heritage site in 2017, to the traces of the Roman past incorporated among the walls and medieval towers that rise, though fewer in number, against the sky.
Looking through the portico of the Palazzo della Ragione, we will see the more recent Piazza Vecchia, with its elegant Renaissance flavor, and the Corsarola, bustling with shops and tourists, stretching from east to west.
We will visit the main churches, starting with Bergamo Cathedral, with its nearly thousand-year history, and continuing to the Romanesque Santa Maria Maggiore, which shines with its Baroque interior. Facing it is the Colleoni Chapel, a true jewel of the Lombard Renaissance, around the ancient Piazza del Duomo.
