Self-Guided Podcast Tour: The Dual Soul of Bergamo

About this activity

Bergamo is not one city, but two. A modern, rationalist grid below, and a walled, medieval labyrinth above. On this immersive walking tour, you will physically and psychologically cross the threshold between these two worlds. We will uncover the deliberate urban erasure of the lower town, the grueling historical commute up the ancient stone steps, and the stunning Venetian architecture that crowns the hill. This is a story of power, class, and the architectural forces that shape how we live.
