What to expect

1

Piazza Mercato delle Scarpe

Start your walk at Piazza Mercato delle Scarpe in Bergamo Alta. Just open Ciceru nearby to begin exploring this old “shoe market” gateway where the Upper Town has welcomed merchants, pilgrims, and modern day funicular riders for centuries.

Duration 10 minutes
2
Rocca di Bergamo

Admire the fortress walls from the outside and let the view do the talking, because this hilltop stronghold was built as much to stop local chaos as to scare off distant enemies.

3

Torre del Gombito

Look up at the blunt medieval tower that once treated this crossroads like a surveillance job, turning an ordinary street corner into Bergamo’s stone faced “point zero.”

4

Antico Lavatoio

Pause by the elegant iron roof and marble basins, an outdoor monument to the days when laundry meant public labor, loud gossip, and civic survival.

Duration 10 minutes
5
Piazza Vecchia

Stand in the city’s living room and take in the perfectly staged Renaissance scene, where fountains murmur and every façade seems to know it is being photographed.

Duration 10 minutes
6

Palazzo Della Ragione

View the great arches and loggia from the square and imagine medieval justice happening in public, with Venice’s winged lion still supervising the whole operation.

7

Bergamo Cathedral

<nil>

Admire the cathedral’s neoclassical exterior and remember it exists because Venice literally demolished the old one, proving military logistics can outrank holiness.

8
Basilica di Santa Maria Maggiore

Circle the basilica outside to find the lion guarded portals and the carved measuring marks, because this “church of the people” doubled as Bergamo’s official ruler.

9
Cappella Colleoni

Study the jewel box façade from the piazza, since this is what happens when a mercenary decides his ego deserves its own marble masterpiece.

10

Via Bartolomeo Colleoni

Stroll the narrow main artery of the Upper Town where shutters, shopfronts, and stone walls keep the city’s daily theatre running at street level.

Duration 10 minutes
11

P.za della Cittadella

Wrap up your tour at Piazza della Cittadella. Take a moment to enjoy the fortress mood and Visconti intimidation factor before ending your walk.

Duration 10 minutes

The experience can be subject to change due to bad weather or unforseen circumstances. We always endeavour to give you the best possible experience.
