Bergamo Alta is best explored at a leisurely pace: besides Piazza Vecchia and the Duomo, it’s worth stopping at Palazzo della Ragione, 50 metres away, and the Rocca Museum, which tells the story of the city from the top of the ancient fortifications, 250 metres away. In the warmer months, the funicular offers a view over the surrounding plain, while in winter the streets of the centre, enlivened by Christmas markets, offer a more intimate atmosphere.
