Bergamo is a city in Lombardy region of northern Italy. The seat of the province of Bergamo, it is located approximately 40 km (25 mi) northeast of Milan, and about 30 km (19 mi) from the alpine lakes Como and Iseo and 70 km (43 mi) from Garda and Maggiore. The Bergamo Alps begin immediately north of the city.

As soon as you arrive in Bergamo, you'll be greeted by its stunning medieval architecture and winding cobblestone streets. The city is divided into two parts - the lower town (Città Bassa) and the upper town (Città Alta). The lower town is modern and bustling with shops, restaurants, and cafes, while the upper town is a charming medieval fortress that offers breathtaking views of the surrounding landscape.

One of the must-visit attractions in Bergamo is the Piazza Vecchia - the heart of the upper town. This lively square is surrounded by historic buildings and is home to the Palazzo della Ragione - a beautiful palace that was once the city's municipal meeting place. From here, you can take a leisurely stroll through the narrow streets and alleyways of the upper town, admiring the ancient walls and towers that have stood for centuries.
