Bergamo is a beautiful place. Love the contrast of the Old Town against the new. Very clean and felt safe. Easy access to Milan via train. We travelled easily by train from Verona. Would highly recommend, and will definitely return to Bergamo.

Altogether, we loved the old city of Bergamo, a hidden gem in Northern Italy. It is both beautiful and charming, with a relaxed atmosphere and great shopping and dining opportunities. The baroque style-basilica is particularly impressive.
