To describe Venice as a unique city would be unjust.  It has more canals than roads, and pigeons than Trafalgar Square, and a winged lion as a mascot.  It is also bursting with beauty, romance and history; probably more so than anywhere in Italy, and that\'s saying something.

Bergamo is famous for its clear division into two parts: the modern lower part and the higher walled upper part on top of a hill. Our holiday in Bergamo tells the story of the city through its buildings, boroughs and squares, as well as through the beauty of its churches that showcase art from different periods. An ancient city made for walking, it\'s lovely to stroll amidst its attractions, but Bergamo is also a modern city with an international airport and avant-garde buildings. This city is a perfect mix to be discovered thanks to our reasonably priced holiday offers to Bergamo.
