Milan to Bergamo: Private day trip

Bergamo's Venetian walls are both classic and opulent, with the power to captivate the sternest of men. The wall has two armories, two platforms, 14 bastions, and the chance to walk inside the walls to visit the vaulted chambers of San Michele and San Giovanni. The wall also divides the city into two - the Upper Town, (La Citta Alta) which sits on top of the hill packed with narrow wandering streets, and the Lower Town (La Citta Bassa), which extends towards the plains and the major international airport. This split distinction is Bergamo's most seductive feature. The city boasts its proximity to the Alps, close distance to its airport, and its passion art. Bergamo's historic boroughs, Piazza Veechia, and a visit to any of the city's finest dining establishments are a definite must-do's for tourists.
