Cita Alta, Bergamo's old town, is the most amazing place. I spotted it whilst travelling from Bergamo airport to the train station and cut short a visit to Milan to go and see it and I am so glad that I did. It is the most wonderful old town, full of cobbled streets and a wonderful piazza with wonderful historical buildings. A great place to wander around and sit and have a drink and watch the world go by. Very atmospheric. It's worth a detour to visit if you fly into Bergarmo and very easy to get to. Just take the No.1 bus (first bus stop as you leave the arrivals hall and signposted Bergamo. Get off at the Funiculare stop ( just ask anyone) and then take the funicular train up to the old town. Depending on traffic this takes 20-30 mins from the airport. You can leave your luggage at the airport but do not follow the left luggage signs as that takes you on a detour. From the arrivals hall cross straight into the carpark and then on the left you will see the carhire office. The left luggage facility is part of that building.

Probably everyone who appears in Piazza Vecchia will see it. It is said to be the oldest communal palace in Italy. This 12th century building was rebuilt in the 15th century and three centuries later stripped of all its Venetian ornaments. In the mid-twentieth century, the symbol of Venice - the Lion of St. Mark - returned to the facade. Despite its strict lines, it is one of the most beautiful buildings in Bergamo, one of the symbols of the city. The large hall, is used for temporary, cultural exhibitions . Definitely worth a visit.
