Visit Bergamo in a luxury car with driver
Vip Limousine Milan leads you to discover Bergamo
Visit Bergamo in a luxury car with driver: the perfect way to disconnect from the hectic pace of daily life. Take some time for yourself and let Vip Limousine’s driver take you in Bergamo, a historical city 50 km far from Milan.
We are going to provide you several information and suggestions about Bergamo, in the while you can book your stay there.
Visit Bergamo: some information
The very first thing you have to know about Bergamo is that it is one of the five cities in Italy (Lucca, Grosseto, Padua and Ferrara) with a historical centre that is still encircled by ancient Venetian walls. The walls are perfectly preserved and you are free to take a walk along the 5 km long of their perimeter. Thanks to their uniqueness and preservation, UNESCO declared the Venetian walls of Bergamo World Heritage Site in the 2017.
The second information you need to visit Bergamo is the presence of two cities in one: in fact there is an Old Town (known as Città Alta) and a New Town (known as Città Bassa).
The Old Town is the original and historical centre of Bergamo: this is the most ancient area and Venetian walls encircle it. The Old Town is like a classical medieval town full of history: this is the reason why Bergamo is one of the most important cities of art in Lombardy. The New Town is the modern centre of Bergamo.
If you wish to visit both of them, you have only to ask for it to your personal driver: he will bring you where you will desire. Vip Limousine’s driver is at your disposal 24 hours a day: his duty is to make your dreams come true.
What to do in Bergamo
To reach the Old Town there is a recommended transport: the funicular. In the last 120 years, the funicular connected the Old Town with the New Town: it is a kind of bridge between history and modernity. You have to take the funicular at least once in your life, in order to enjoy an amazing view!
As soon as you get in the Old Town, we suggest you to visit the Accademia Carrara, a historic building that contains a large collection dedicated to the master of Italian Renaissance (XVI Century). In one single building you will meet Tiziano, Botticelli, Raffaello, Bellini and much more. The collection present in the Accademia Carrara is one of the most valuable in Europe.
Concerning the art, in Bergamo there is also another important place you have to visit: Gaetano Donizetti’s birthplace. Donizetti is one of the most important music composers of the XIX Century. His house contains the entire history of the composer and it is also possible to listen to his masterpieces. A jump into the past.
After a long walk, you will definitely deserve an Italian ice cream. You are lucky! In Bergamo was created Stracciatella: it is a milk ice cream with crunchy dark chocolate. If you are looking for the parlour where you can taste it, you have to go to Colle Aperto and to look for La Marianna parlour.
In Bergamo there is a secular tradition and if you want to be part of it, you have to go to Piazza Vecchia. Every night at 10pm the bell of the civic tower chimes 100 times: this signal was in use centuries ago to inform the citizens about the upcoming closing of the city gates.
If after the 100 chimes you are tired, you only have to go back to your luxury car with driver and return at the hotel. Vip Limousine will bring you at the hotel for some rest and a relaxing night.
Vip Limousine Milan is always at your side
Visiting Bergamo requires a lot of strength: for the whole day, you will be around the medieval alleys, you will taste the local delicacies and you will enjoy the sunset from the Venetian walls. In the evening you will not want to drive your car back to the hotel or, even worse, to go back to your home.
