Highlights of Bergamo Upper Town: Walking Tour with Local Guide & Funicular Ride

About this activity

Bergamo is a fascinating medieval city! Take the chance to visit this beautiful town that is divided in Upper Bergamo and Lower Bergamo. With a help of local guide, start this 2,5 hours walking tour taking the “Funicolare”, an Italian cable train, that lead you to Upper Bergamo, where the tour focuses. Here, you can admire the ancient buildings and defensive walls of the city, built in medieval architecture, and enjoy some time in “Piazza Vecchia”, the heart of this part of town. It’s time to see the Campanone, the bell tower which is a panoramic point. Then, visit the church of Santa Maria Maggiore, built in Baroque style, the characteristic Antico Lavatoio and the Cittadella Viscontea. Finally, you can delight with some Gelato of an antique Gelateria, which invented “Stracciatella”, a milk-based ice-cream with chocolate shavings. A sweet ending for this wonderful day!
