Tour Details

A wonderful opportunity to visit one of Northern Italy's most beautiful, but often overlooked, mediaeval cities with the help of an expert local guide. Leaving Milan we head eastwards to the historic town of Bergamo, sometimes described as the Siena of the North, high on a hill surrounded by mediaeval fortifications. An expert local guide will bring the mediaeval Citta' Alta (upper city) to life inside its five kilometre walls. At the heart of the city lies Piazza Vecchia surrounded by Bergamo's most important monuments; the cathedral, the Colleoni chapel, and the 13th century baptistry, as well as the 12th century Palazzo del Comune and Palazzo della Ragione and the Civic Tower. Time to explore the enchanting city centre before returning to Milan in time for a late lunch.
