Particularly noted for its musical history, Bergamo is situated close to Milan and is easy to get to from its neighbour by car. As the foot of the Alps is located just to the North of Bergamo, this makes for a spectacular drive with impressive views of the natural landscape. With some gorgeous residential buildings which provide a sumptuous glimpse into its past, you are spoilt for choice by walking around the city.

Among the many sights visitors can take in, some of the best are the Civic Tower which forms part of the medieval quarter of the town; this is best explored on foot. The Modern Art Gallery is home to some fine examples of art from the surrounding areas, in which you can view some of the best efforts from artists in Bergamo and the surrounding areas. The Ciccio bed and breakfast comes highly recommended for visitors to Bergamo.
