Bergamo Alta (Upper Bergamo) is located on a hill overlooking the plains of the province of Bergamo. On clear days, you can see the Apennines and, even better, the Lombardy capital, Milan.
But above all, Città Alta (Upper Bergamo) is beautiful to visit (on weekdays) for its history. It is a city surrounded by Venetian walls and boasting historic churches and palaces.

I stumbled upon it after a long drive at sunset and was astonished by the beauty of this landscape.

Breathtaking. Worth it.
