Bergamo: Upper Town Guided Tour with French-speaking Guide

Want to explore the old town of Bergamo with its medieval streets, small squares and panoramic terraces? You are in the right place! Our meeting will be at Piazza Mercato delle Scarpe, at the exit of the funicular. But we will quickly leave the crowds and the shopping streets behind (you can easily explore them independently before or after our guided tour!). We will go up to the Rocca, to admire the incredible panorama of Bergamo high and low! And then the exploration will continue in the silence of the old market squares, between fountains, wash houses and tower houses. Finally, we will arrive in the political and religious heart of the city: Piazza Vecchia, with its places of power, and Piazza Duomo, with its three churches (the Cathedral of Saint Alexander, the Basilica of Saint Mary Major and the Colleoni Chapel). If you want, we can enter the Colleoni Chapel. Bartolomeo Colleoni was an ambitious general in the army of Venice in the Quattrocento, ready to do anything to make his chapel and tomb a marvelous Renaissance masterpiece.
