Hello all,
We, that is myself my wife and my wife's sister will be in Bergamo from 28th May 2011 until the 28th June 2011, if there are similer travellers visiting Bergamo that want to meet up for a meal/coffee let's know, we are in our 60's.
We intend to do day or extended trips to various towns/ destinations out of Bergamo making Bergamo our base.
Regards
George
From Bergamo, I recommend Brescia and Lecco
Yes thank you for your time and advice
Hi, I'm sure you'll no doubt go to Milan too! It's a short train ride away.
And in Milan try to catch at opera at the fabulous La Scala, plus admire the rooftop views from the Duomo, and marvel at Vitt. Emanuel II.
Not to mention shopping or window shopping at the many fashion boutiques on surrounding streets!
Hiya... There is a good chance I will be in Bergamo around JUne 1st to 8th en route to see my family in Gravedona, Lake Como, althought dates are not settled yet. Would love to meet up and have a drink together. If this is your first time to Bergamo, then happy to show you around, but if we don't manage to meet up, there are some things you MUST do.
take the little funicula up to the old town and walk the old town walls for fantastic views, then take the next one up higher to San Vigilio with even better views. Visit the old castle for great views across the old city, the new city and out to the airport and beyond, Brilliant.
Take lunch in the little restaurant near the funicula station(open air) or just across the road is a lovely restaurant with an open air terrace. Not too expensive either. Walk back down to the old town and have coffee in the main square.
Walk back down towards the funicula station again and towards the right, follow the road down to the gate and sit along the battlements and admire the beautiful views.
Take a day trip by train up to Lake Como and get off at Varenna and catch the ferry over to Bellagio.
Whatever you do, enjoy yourself.
if I were you I would not stay a whole month in Bergamo.
I suggest first few days and other before go back home, in the middle move to Verona as a base, beside Verona itself, it could be much better to go to Garda places, Venice, Padua, Trento, Bologna as a day trip by train. Other days should be spent at La Spezia, easy way to 5 terre and Pisa/Lucca/Parma. A couple of day in Florence then Bergamo again for day trip to Milan/Brescia/Cremona.
I was in Bergamo June 2007. I was only there for one night, it as a stop for a flight heading to Paris. I stayed at the International Youth Hostel. There is only one in Bergamo and it is great. Very, Very clean and nestled in the mountain. I went up to Citta Alta and it was beautiful, unfortunaly the weather wasn't! It was grey with heavy rains but you could still see the beauty. Sorry I don't have any names of hotels, but Bergamo is a bella city ... to be visited.
Most of the province’s cultural events take place in the city. Concerts staged in the Donizetti Theatre and painting exhibitions in the Accademia Carrara, among Italy’s best art galleries, are major events. The city also has theatre and concert seasons, including the Donizetti Festival held each September, and a series of Baroque music concerts presented in its churches (generally held each October). Other events are:
- Feast of Sant’Antonio Abate, which includes the blessing of carts and farming tools (17 January)
- Bergamo’s summer festival ‘Estate vivi la tua città’ (June–September)
- Trade show (October–November)
- Antique market (third Sunday of every month)
- The holiday of the city’s patron saint which includes a huge produce and livestock market (26 August)
Cornello is a wonder. It's a small village in the Brembo valley (around 35 kms from Bergamo) where all the motorized vehicles are banned. Cornello was the birthplace of one famous italian family: the Tasso, to whom belonged the illustrous poet Torquato and the founder of the modern express postal delivery service named 'Thurn und Taxis' under the sacred empire. Then, the modern 'taxi' name originates from the Tasso family.
It's plenty of busses to go around Bergamo, to Milan or just to the various paeselli nearby.
The bus station is closed to the train one and there will be a new one soon.A recent italian movie(lo scippo) describes the lifes going on around the old bus stations lifes of drug addicts, prostitutes, transvestites, homeless, taxi drivers and.......donne in corriera!
Just as we entered the square in the Upper Town, we spotted what looked to be an attractive typical Italian restaurant and decided to give it a try.
The meal we chose consisted of 1 x beef with mashed potatoes and 1 x omelette with chips.
The service was slow and the dishes were quite unattractive. Each was accompanied by a single of piece of "undressed" lettuce.
With a bottle of coke and 1/2 litre of house wine, the bill came to 25.50 euros.
Not one I'd recommend N/A
