Itinerary
1
Piazza Mercato delle Scarpe
Start your walk at Piazza Mercato delle Scarpe in Bergamo Alta. Just open Ciceru nearby to begin exploring this old “shoe market” gateway where the Upper Town has welcomed merchants, pilgrims, and modern day funicular riders for centuries.
10 minutes
2
Rocca di Bergamo
Admire the fortress walls from the outside and let the view do the talking, because this hilltop stronghold was built as much to stop local chaos as to scare off distant enemies.
3
Torre del Gombito
Look up at the blunt medieval tower that once treated this crossroads like a surveillance job, turning an ordinary street corner into Bergamo’s stone faced “point zero.”
4
Lavatoio di Citta Alta
Pause by the elegant iron roof and marble basins, an outdoor monument to the days when laundry meant public labor, loud gossip, and civic survival.
10 minutes
5
Piazza Vecchia
Stand in the city’s living room and take in the perfectly staged Renaissance scene, where fountains murmur and every façade seems to know it is being photographed.
10 minutes
6
Palazzo Della Ragione
View the great arches and loggia from the square and imagine medieval justice happening in public, with Venice’s winged lion still supervising the whole operation.
7
Bergamo Cathedral
Admire the cathedral’s neoclassical exterior and remember it exists because Venice literally demolished the old one, proving military logistics can outrank holiness.
8
Basilica di Santa Maria Maggiore
Circle the basilica outside to find the lion guarded portals and the carved measuring marks, because this “church of the people” doubled as Bergamo’s official ruler.
9
Cappella Colleoni
Study the jewel box façade from the piazza, since this is what happens when a mercenary decides his ego deserves its own marble masterpiece.
10
Via Bartolomeo Colleoni
Stroll the narrow main artery of the Upper Town where shutters, shopfronts, and stone walls keep the city’s daily theatre running at street level.
10 minutes
11
Piazza della Cittadella
Wrap up your tour at Piazza della Cittadella. Take a moment to enjoy the fortress mood and Visconti intimidation factor before ending your walk.
