From the moment that we set foot in the upper town we new that we were in a very special place. My wife and I actually read the other Yahoo reviews before going to Bergamo and found that everything that was said in those reviews is true. The people are wonderful, as is the art, food and historical sites. Believe me if you visit Bergamo you will always want to return to it.
My wife and I went to Bergamo for the first time last year. We found the upper town to be very clean and full of interseting places to visit.The main PIAZZA is beautiful and the churches are amazing and full of priceless art.The food in Bergamo is delicious and well prepared.Also go and visit the lower more modern town which is very interesting in itself. Go and visit this undiscovered treasure because it's well worth it....
Bergamo is a city split in two, the lower more modern city which is very nice and the upper historical city which is adorable. The restaurants are excellent,the shops are cute and full of typical goods and I found the people to be very loving and helpful. By the way if you have never eaten Polenta (corn meal porridge) before try it here in Bergamo with locally produced meats as it is spectacular. You will love Bergamo!!
