A very nice view and panorama of all city. Brilliant place to take some pictures and see Bergamo from above.

The Cinta Muraria di Bergamo is very nice. August 2014 it was unfortunately covered up for maintenance. What was not obscured was lovely. Worth a walk and very near a path up the hill to Citta Alta.

When coming by bus no 1 from the lower Bergamo you'll ride just along the walls but it is worth taking a stroll at least along a part of these 16th century Venetian walls. They seem very solid and thick. Four gates allow the entrance to the Citta Alta.

Taking the walls alone, I would say those are not so special and look like other old city walls in Italy, however they are well maintained and represent the perfect frame to encompass the gorgeous "Cittá Alta".

Just stand on the ramparts the morning after a summer storm. arount 7.00 am is the ideal time. You will see, shining, the Virgin Mary statue on top of the Milan Duomo, 50 km away!

Cinta Muraria di Bergamo(meaning walls of Bergamo) are the guard walls of the old town built in XVI century.It's an about 6km long stone structure that encircles the old town-Citta Alta.The height of the walls in some places reached fifty meters.There are 4 gates in the walls:Sant'Agostino, San Giacomo, San Lorenzo and Sant'Alessandro.Three of them are daily crossed by a lot of cars (the porta San Giacomo is pedestrian only), particularly the Porta Sant'Agostino which is the main entrance to the upper town, because of its direct accessibility from the city centre.From some points you have a magnificent view of the Citta Bassa-the new part of the town.

The walls were built by Venetians to protect the town, now they are the tourist attraction. It was very nice to walk along and watching the Citta Bassa located below.

Walking along the walls in the sun is something that you really should do during your stay. For a better view though, head higher to the campanone.

If you visit Bergamo, take a walk up into the old town of Citta Alta, the beautiful medieval part of the city which sits on a hill above the rest of the town. You can also use the funicular to get up to the old town, which is fun. The panoramic views from the wall are spectacular, so get your camera ready. The upper town is such a contrast from the lower town, so it really is worth taking time out to visit. Spend a day here is you can; it will not disappoint.

Città Alta is one of the most beautiful Medieval towns still not discovered by mass tourism. From Venetian Wall you can see the Lower town of Bergamo and even Mian. Every corner of Città Alta has something special. There are nice bars and restaurants and if you want to enjoy some relax you can sit in one of the benches along the wall.

If you're travelling around Milan, DON'T MISS A TRIP to Bergamo Upper Town and its huge Cinta Muraria (Old Walls rounding the entire Upper Town). The Upper Town is boldly embraced by this ancient walls, and a walk along them will allow you to witness the majesty of this Medieval town, and acknowledge the wide plains of Bergamo province, spotted by churches and soft lights at night. Very romantic to seat along the Walls and have a talk with your beloved at sunset! Enjoy.

It doesn't cost a thing and is extremely pleasant. Just make your way around the walls to see the lower Bergamo from different angles. Great spot to take pictures.

Magnificent view. Bergamo is worth a visit. If you don't have the time, forget Milan and go to Bergamo.
