This pretty little city has been described by some as the most beautiful in Italy, but still many tourists ignore it in favour of its more famous neighbour. Many travellers will have visited Bergamo in Italy on their way to Milan, with its airport even named Milan Bergamo Airport and seeing 13 million visitors each year, but the city is packed with stunning architecture and elegant avenues.<\/p>\n
Bergamo is surrounded by ancient Venetian walls and based in a series of hills, with those arriving at its train station able to wind their way from the bottom to the top.<\/p>\n
The route is packed with historic buildings from the Rocca di Bergamo castle to the Basilica de Santa Maggiore.<\/p>\n
Culture lovers will feel at home in its Accademia Carrara and GAMeC, which showcase the best of traditional and modern art respectively.<\/p>\n
