Upper Town and Bergamo Hills
Get ready for an unforgettable ride discovering Bergamo, a fascinating mix of lively lower town and charming Upper Town. Starting from the rental point, we easily reach Porta San Giacomo, one of the historic gateways to the heart of Bergamo. Riding along the Venetian Walls, a UNESCO site, we arrive in Piazza Vecchia, a true architectural gem framed by Santa Maria Maggiore Basilica and the Cathedral. Then we head into the green hills around the city, where beautiful views over the province and, on clear days, even Milan, reward the climb. The route follows a scenic loop touching some of the most iconic viewpoints in Bergamo.
