Bergamo - great opportunity for a short stay

by Paisleypaul - last update: Dec 18, 2007

Great smaller city

Largo Porta Nuova looking up to the Citta' Alta
Great walking city with the old town on the hill the main destination, also all the designer shops and department stores you expect in an Italian city
Largo Porta Nuova from Viale Papa Giovanni XXIII

Easy destination

Orio al Serio airport is one of the budget carrier's hubs and is served by Ryanair from airports in Scotland Ireland and England as well as a bucket load of other European cities
the Contarini fountain on a wet November day

Short stay destination worth a second look

In Piazza Vecchia in the Citta Alta there are numerous points of interest - one famous example is the Contarini fountain.

Tends to be a long weekend for most visitors, we were only here Fridayand Satruday nights late November 2007, but definitely plan to have a second look another year

Pros:"Lots of points of interest, good hotels, easy to get to"
Cons:"Maybe a bit short of restaurant options in the centre?"
In A Nutshell:"Scenic, busy, city like & rustic at once, a compact little Italy"
