One if the best experiences we had as a family visiting Bergamo, its a must if you like animal parks. The animals was in great condition very clean in great areas and well taken care of.

We came on a rainy day but the place is so nice we didn't even notice. I saw some animals for the first time in my life that live in tropical areas. We had only one hour to visit but it was not enough to see everything. We will come back for sure.

Luckly found this zoo when trying to find things to do in the area while on holiday. What a surprise. Very cheap at €24 to get in and was huge. All animals were in good condition and the enclosure were top notch. So much to see and do while there. Definitely worth a visit. To get there we got a 2 buses and then walked about 20 mins. So not really easy accessible if dont have a car but is do able.

This is an amazing zoo! Good selection of animals. Lot of trees and plants. Clean spaces for animals. Great idea regarding safari train for kids and giraffe feeding. You will see more animals in state owned zoos but it is hard to beat the experience you can have here.

This is a really cool place! It’s a bit hard to reach from Bergamo if you don’t have a car, but not impossible. There’s quite a large variety of animals, some of them in really nice habitats (like the exotic birds). There are many restaurants and places where you can eat your own food, even some playgrounds for kids. There’s a train that takes you around the place and it costs €2. It was not very crowded when we arrived, but we visited on a Saturday at 5PM. By the way, the ticked is €18 if you arrive 3 hours before closing (and 3 hours is more than enough if you don’t have young children). Indeed, some spaces are small for the animals (like the elephants, rhinos, or the big cats) and they looked quite sad. Not necessarily not cared for, but a bit depressy. In my opinion, it’s a really cool place, with lots of animals and if you visit Bergamo, it’s definitely not to be missed!

Very nice zoo park with a lot of animals. Places to eat in the park and picnic areas.

Fantastic place for the family many animals to see reptiles, serpents, aquatics, Safari Animals, massive park many trees with chairs and tables for picnics —yes you can bring your own food or you can eat in their restaurants book online for your convenience parking is not free though you have to pay €5.00 fix rate. All in all its an amazing place a must see for kids

Very nice place, especially in the evening, great taste of atraciatella and other cakes ❤️ Thanks fot the experience 🙏🏼

Day trip to Bergamo, I stopped by to try Stracciatella (chocolate chip gelato). It is a birthday place of stracciatella. I am not big chocolate chip ice cream person. It was creamy and it was good. I wanted wafer cone, it is only come in 3 scoops, 4.50 euro. The wafer cone was okay. The other two favors were pistachios and strawberry. Stracciatella was the best of the three. Is it better than other gelato, not really.

The original stracciatella ice cream. Yes,this is much more delicious than anything sold as stracciatella. I became a fan. 🤩 Also tried polenta e osei which is a local specialty and very tasty. Crispy sweet polenta outside and some kind of cream with almond and apricot jam inside. Don't forget to try coffee with zabaglione as well, I loved it!!

At La Marianna, the birthplace of Stracciatella, simplicity turns into perfection. A scoop of history, a taste of tradition, and the delicate balance of cream and chocolate that has enchanted the world since 1961. Pure Italian elegance in a cone.

Good Gelato, cozy place, and options of dessert. Even it is chill, the outside terrace is a good place to relax. Gelato recomended: Stratiachella Pistachio

A Perfect Afternoon at La Marianna – Gelato, Aperol, and Sunshine after a walk from the castello di san vigillio. During my recent visit to Bergamo’s charming Città Alta, I had the pleasure of stopping by La Marianna at Largo Colle Aperto, 4. Seated on their spacious outdoor terrace, I indulged in their specialty affogato a delightful combination of rich espresso poured over their signature La Marianna’s original 1961 creation, stracciatella creamy gelato. Complementing this was a refreshing Aperol Spritz, perfectly balanced and served with a smile. The gelato was creamy and rich, with generous chocolate shavings that melted perfectly on the tongue. It was evident that high-quality ingredients were used, making it one of the best I’ve tasted. The ambiance was serene, with the sun casting a gentle glow and the world leisurely passing by. It’s no wonder La Marianna is renowned not only for inventing the iconic stracciatella gelato in 1961 but also for providing such memorable experiences.  If you find yourself in Bergamo, I highly recommend taking a moment to relax at La Marianna. Whether you’re a gelato enthusiast or simply seeking a tranquil spot to unwind, this establishment offers both history and hospitality in equal measure. 

Gelato is good however 3 scopes in the cup is similar size of 1 scoop with cone.

Totally worth to see. Kids were happy that there were interactive pieces of exhibition. Amount of spieces shown is huge, it was a pleasure to see them so close in detail. I couldn't believe it costs only 3 euros. We spent two hours there, without reading a lot, so I can imagine that more time will be needed if you really want to lok deeper

Amazing collection, very tactile-kids will have a good time there. Not everything has an english desciption but it didn't bother us at all. Price is really low it's just 3€ per person, really worth a visit.

What a great museum for such a low price. The animal displays are very vast and impressive. A must stop when in town.

Wonderful museum with many different sections. Fun and interesting visit for both adults and kids.

Cool museum with all kinds of interactive stuff! The price is 3€. The woman at the ticket office is really cool! Ce verimm! 😄

Superb displays, excellent descriptions (in English as well as Italian), very child-friendly (my 5 year old boy loved it!) and incredible value - only €3 for 3 museums!?

What a great place! The ticket is €3 and it includes the archeological museum as well. It has a very large variety of species, from bugs and minerals to large mammals and dinosaurs. It can be visited and enjoyed by people of all ages, not only children, yet it has some interactive games for kids. They even have some live ants and stick bugs which were really cool. There are 2 things that could be improved. First, the window displays are quite old and could be updated. Second, the explanations and descriptions are in Italian only. They should really translate them to English as well. All in all, great value for money! (We would have paid more if it was a bit more foreiner friendly)

Cracking little restaurant with a terrace right by the airfield. Planes taking off and landing just a few metres away keeps our Henry in his element. Great food, amazing grilled meats and very decent prices

(Translated by Google) If you want to eat good and substantial typical cuisine you absolutely must come here. Typical traditional dishes rigorously prepared by the expert hands of the fantastic Donatella. Casoncelli, polenta Taragna, slices, risottos, in short, nothing is missing. Very nice place, close to the flying club and the Cornelle park. Large parking lot. Excellent prices. There is a selection of wines and homemade desserts. Courteous staff available for every request, for example we always have a vegan at the table. A regular stop at least twice a year for my family. I absolutely recommend!

I really loved the place and food, served by professional staff 😋. The gnocchetti con zucca e frutti di mare were fabulous, but the orata on a bed of mashed with spinach is a must try 😋 👌

Good fish meal

Sooo tasty!

Delicious

(Translated by Google) Truly excellent seafood dinner, prices in line with the menu offerings, special mention for the seafood risotto (one of the best I've ever had) and for the owner's friendliness and kindness. We'll definitely be back! (Original) Cena di pesce veramente ottima, prezzi coerenti con l'offerta del menù, menzione speciale per il risotto alla pescatora (uno dei più buoni che abbia mai mangiato) e per la simpatia e la gentilezza del proprietario. Ci torneremo sicuramente!

(Translated by Google) Very nice place. Where we ate very well, all fish-based. A special thanks to Mrs. Laura. (Original) Posto molto carino. Dove abbiamo mangiato benissimo, tutto a base di pesce. Uno speciale grazie alla signora Laura.

I enjoyed the ambience, beautiful garden and my first lunch here, just few weeks after lockdown. However evening experience was not good. Right after we were seated and ordered our meal they started to serve the party we hadn’t been informed about. The service was terribly slow, my steak tartare didn’t seem to be very fresh and even if it looked very good it wasn’t served properly, they didn’t have any Tabasco in house. In the end they made us wait 30 minutes for coffee. When I asked for discount for scarce service the lady offered us a free coffee we didn’t want anymore...

Very welcoming spot with high quality ingredients selection, able to offer even vegetarian or vegan alternatives. Smart place.

Lovely, cozy setting offering indoor & outdoor seating. Dog friendly! Delicious & creative food! Best part of being there is the FRIENDLY & KIND staff, so welcoming…they make you feel like family. Just a cheerful, happy place…we went two nights in a row!

Loved it!

Delicious food, lovely place and fantastic service.

It's a very pretty restaurant with indoor and garden seating. They serve a lot of healthy (bio) options. Lots of vegetarian options as well. In my opinion the service was a bit slow, and the menu is slightly limited, but I would definitely recommend to come and make your own opinion:)

Wonderful place, very friendly, family run restaurant, delicious menu. Thank you for the evening!

Porta San Giacomo is one of the most beautiful entrances to Città Alta in Bergamo. The white marble gate is stunning and full of history, and the views from there are amazing—especially at sunset. Walking up from Via Sant’Alessandro makes the experience even more special. A perfect spot for photos and to enjoy the charm of the old city.

Very nice trip to Porta San Giacomo…. A lot of places with sun and shade… very nice views over the city and all in all just a lovely place to have a day off

Venetians built an entire defensive wall system all around the Upper Town old town Bergamo. They're very well preserved and under UNESCO protection. Walking the walls you can admire several city gates, with Porta San Giacomo being the most beautiful one. Great city views from many points

This is the most beautiful path to walk on in Bergamo, leading you to the Porta San Giacomo, an ancient and beautiful gate situated at the edge of the historic center of Bergamo. From here you can take the most beautiful pictures of the city of Bergamo and the foothills of the alps!

Great view from this place over the lower Bergamo. Don‘t miss it.

It’s really beautiful place with awesome views

Beautiful view over the city of Bergamo

Beautiful walls from the venetians, free entry and a nice stroll on a good day. You really have to be there to appreciate exactly how grand, thicc and impressive these walls are. Heres some background. Built by the Republic of Venice in the 16th century to defend Bergamo from invaders, these massive stone walls stretch over 6 km and feature bastions, gates, and tunnels. They were never breached in battle and remain one of Europe’s best-preserved Renaissance military structures.

A beautiful walk, perfect both during the day and at night. The views are stunning, and it’s a wonderful way to enjoy Bergamo’s charm and atmosphere.

Very beautiful views of Bergamo the cathedrals, church sites, art in the ceilings of the buildings the shops all breathtaking worth the climb I did not take the tram up the hill so I took rest periods

Great view, medieval vibes. Definitely worth visiting!

What a lovely experience both during the day and the evening. Not to be missed in Bergamo

Beautiful wall and nice views. Worth visiting!

Beautiful old part of town, could have spent longer wandering around and drinking cocktails but it was very cold when we visited. I bet it is lovely in summer or at Christmas (as long as you are dressed for the cold!)

We had the chance to visit this exotic 19th century atmosphere museum where our beloved Gaetano spent his last days. It was Saturday afternoon (24th June 2017) with super hot weather on that day. Nice Museum with many items on the display including some of the genius personal belongings. Music from Donizetti’s operas echoed around and could be heard all over the museum. Hanna & Genevieve Astephan.

Not worth paying unless you are seriously into this guy. Even then, get the combined 7 museum ticket and enjoy the other sights.

Great museum. I suggest you to listen to the info box. They explain you the entire Donizzetti's life. You can find some objects belonged to Gaetano.

a very small museum, but has a lot of details about this composer

Worth coming if you are a fan of the guy. Otherwise it is a waste of time.

Very small but interesting

Wonderful museum. Small but beautifully formed.

The most beautiful basilica I’ve ever seen. Every detail is captivating – from the tapestries and wood inlays to the gold accents, paintings, and statues. There’s a sense of harmony and peace inside that makes you want to stay longer and take in every element. You can easily spend a lot of time here just admiring the craftsmanship. The entrance is paid, but it’s absolutely worth it.

The church opens on Piazza Duomo, you can buy tickets as you enter. The external appearance has largely maintained its Romanesque origins, but the interior is largely Baroque. The choir with the wooden reliefs with Biblical tales are spectacular. We visited the church on Sunday, after the service, and it was a little crowded, but not disturbing. We also had live organ music throughout the visit, I don't know if it's like that every day, or just on Sundays. The music contributed a lot to the whole atmosphere.

Located in Bergamo’s Città Alta, the Basilica of Santa Maria Maggiore was built in the 12th century. Its Romanesque-Lombard exterior contrasts with a richly Baroque interior. Originally serving as the baptismal church for the Cathedral of San Vincenzo, it stands beside the historic episcopal curia, preserving centuries of sacred heritage.

Basilica of Santa Maria Maggiore ⛪️ in Bergamo. fascinated me with the Romanesque architecture and the splendid frescoes that adorn it. Stepping inside, I admired the beauty of the decorations and the evocative atmosphere. 🤩 It was a truly moving experience, immersed in the art and history of the city of Bergamo 🏛️. I highly recommend a visit to this gem! #Bergamo #BasilicaSantaMariaMaggiore #ItalianArt #Culture #Travel #👌💯🇮🇹, To visit you have to pay 15€ / person 28.09.2025

When you order a church "with everything". See the pictures. It's amazing! Even too much. To discover all details in the pictures and sculptures, you will need 2 years. Overwhelming!

A very beautiful old Church… took hundred of years to build and literally costed a fortune. History is always interesting, this place too

Rome - Italy 🇮🇹 The Papal Basilica of Saint Mary Major (Basilica Papale di Santa Maria Maggiore) is one of the four major papal basilicas in Rome and the largest Catholic church in the world dedicated to the Virgin Mary. Also indulgence is there for the person visiting the basilica and doing the prayers with a repentant heart. (Plz read the directions to obtain indulgence) If you’re around Rome, don’t miss this holy place ♥️🫶🏻

Asking an entrance fee AND not being allowed to take pictures is unacceptable. Especially because of all the damage the catholic church has caused to humanity Allowing free visits is the least they should do for reparations

For €2.30, you get to see one of Italy’s most beautiful chapels. The details, colors, and sculptures are just incredible

A true gem in Bergamo! The architecture is stunning, and the details inside are incredible. Definitely worth a visit if you're exploring the old town!

The Colleoni Chapel in Bergamo’s Upper Town, Piazza Duomo, is a Renaissance gem commissioned by Bartolomeo Colleoni as his mausoleum. Built between 1472 and 1476 by Giovanni Antonio Amadeo, it replaced part of Santa Maria Maggiore, sparking controversy. Today, it stands as a symbol of artistic and historical grandeur.

Absolutely spectacular baroque church!!! Limited hours. Check website. Weekends can get a little busy but this is the most special church we have seen in Europe so don’t miss it! Have fun!

While many are drawn to the quirky three testicles on Colleoni's family emblem outside on the fence (which is definitely worth a peek or even a touch for good luck), I highly recommend stepping inside. And see its ornate architecture, frescoes and sculptures. It's clear Colleoni wanted to leave behind a truly remarkable legacy. It's a powerful and beautiful testament to his heritage. Don't miss the chance to explore the interior – it's an unforgettable experience! And you just need to put 1 Euro (or more to enter).

Unmissable. I gazed for ages at the ceiling, the misericords, everywhere is beautiful. €2 to enter. Up there with the Sacre Couer.

(Translated by Google) The Baptistery of Bergamo is the building intended for the Baptismal rite, it was built in the 14th century by Giovanni Da Campione, it has been preserved since 1900 on Piazza Duomo in Bergamo, it remains in front of the Basilica of Sant'Alessandro. It remains a place of faith. (Original) Il Battistero di Bergamo è l'edificio destinato al rito Battesimale, fu realizzato nel XIV secolo da Giovanni Da Campione,è conservato dal 1900 sulla piazza Duomo di Bergamo,rimane di fronte alla Basilica di Sant'Alessandro. Rimane un luogo di fede.

(Translated by Google) The 14th-century baptistery, usually closed to tourists, is still used for ceremonial occasions. We were unexpectedly able to peer inside—a simple octagonal space decorated with bas-reliefs and sculptures, as well as twin columns by the windows. Everything is simple, yet expressive. (Original) Баптистерий XIV века, обычно закрыт для туристов, до сих пор используется для церимониальных случаев. Неожиданно удалось заглянуть внутрь- простое восьмиугольное пространство, украшенное барельефами и скульптурами, а также сдвоенными колоннами у окон. Все лаконично, но выразительно

(Translated by Google) Visiting the Baptistery of Bergamo Alta, overlooking the Piazza del Duomo, is an experience that blends art and memory. This octagonal building, built in 1340, is rich in symbols, with its black marble base, two-tone columns, and eight fascinating statues on the exterior. It's a classic small place, yet steeped in history and meaning, to be admired at your leisure. (Original) Visitare il Battistero di Bergamo Alta, affacciato sulla piazza del Duomo, è un'esperienza che intreccia arte e memoria. Questo edificio ottagonale creato nel 1340, è ricco di simboli dal basamento di marmo nero, le colonne bicolore e otto affascinanti statue all’esterno è il classico luogo piccolo ma denso di storia e significati, da ammirare con calma.

(Translated by Google) This magnificent octagonal building has always been known as the symbol of Bergamo. It is the Baptistery of Piazza Duomo, located in the heart of the Upper Town, in a beautiful little square that has been restored to its former glory thanks to a renovation worthy of its historical and artistic value. The Baptistery, built in 1340 by Giovanni da Campione, is characterized by an octagonal shape and an elegant loggia with columns of red Veronese marble. Its façade is enriched with statues representing the Theological and Cardinal Virtues. Inside, the baptismal font is decorated with bas-reliefs depicting the life of Jesus, the work of the same 14th-century master. Located opposite the Cathedral of Sant'Alessandro, the Baptistery underwent numerous moves over the centuries before finding its final location in 1898-99 on the west side of Piazza Duomo, where we can admire it today in all its splendor. (Original) Questo magnifico edificio ottagonale ha da sempre la fama di essere il simbolo di Bergamo. Si tratta del Battistero di Piazza Duomo, situato nel cuore di Città Alta, in una bellissima piazzetta che è tornata a splendere grazie a una ristrutturazione all'altezza del suo valore storico e artistico. Il Battistero, costruito nel 1340 da Giovanni da Campione, è caratterizzato da una forma ottagonale e da un elegante loggiato con colonne in marmo rosso veronese. La sua facciata è arricchita da statue che rappresentano le Virtù Teologali e Cardinali. All'interno, il fonte battesimale è decorato con bassorilievi raffiguranti la vita di Gesù, opera dello stesso maestro trecentesco. Posizionato di fronte alla Cattedrale di Sant'Alessandro, il Battistero ha subito numerosi spostamenti nel corso dei secoli, prima di trovare la sua collocazione definitiva nel 1898-99 sul lato ovest di Piazza Duomo, dove oggi possiamo ammirarlo in tutto il suo splendore.

(Translated by Google) The baptistery can only be visited with a ticket to the diocesan museum. Originally, when it was built in the 14th century, it was attached to the Basilica of Saint Mary Major. It was dismantled at the beginning of the 17th century and then rebuilt in 1898 on its current site. Its appearance has been significantly altered from Giovanni da Campione's original plan. It was originally round, not octagonal (the number 8 is a symbol of grace, and the building contains statues of the eight Beatitudes). Everything here, from the colors to the sculptures, has symbolic meaning. (Original) Le baptistère se visite uniquement avec le billet du musée diocésain. A l'origine, lors de son édification au XIVe siècle, il se trouvait accolé à la basilique sainte Marie majeure. Il fut démantelé au début du XVIIe siècle puis reconstruit en 1898 à son emplacement actuel. Son aspect a été très remanié par rapport au plan de Giovanni da Campione. A l'origine il était rond et non octogonale ( le chiffre 8 est le symbole de la grâce et dans le bâtiment on trouve les statues des huit béatitudes ). Tout ici des couleurs aux sculptures a une connotation symbolique.

(Translated by Google) The Basilica of Santa Maria Maggiore is an important place of worship located in the Upper Town of Bergamo, in Piazza del Duomo. Its construction began in 1137, following a vow made by the citizens of Bergamo to the Madonna to protect them from the plague that was affecting Northern Italy. History and Architecture Built on the site of a previous 8th century church, the basilica has a Romanesque-Lombard style externally, while the interior is richly decorated in Baroque style. The original plan was a Greek cross with seven apses, of which three remain. Over the centuries, the basilica has undergone various modifications and expansions, including the addition of the porticoes and the remaking of the prothyrums by the masters of Campione in the 14th century. Works of Art and Burials Inside the basilica you can admire fourteenth-century frescoes, Florentine and Flemish tapestries, as well as the tomb of the famous composer Gaetano Donizetti.

Nice area to chill in

Pallazzo della Ragione is considered one of oldest Italian municipal buildings. Back in the 12c it housed the city council and other administrative offices, while during the Venetian period served as a court. It divides two main squares in old town - Piazza Vecchia and Piazza Duomo, between which you can roam through ancient palace arches. Plaques in those arches explain the history of all buildings around

(Translated by Google) The Palazzo della Ragione in Bergamo Alta is an authentic medieval jewel, among the oldest municipal public buildings in Italy, built between 1183 and 1198. Developed between Piazza Vecchia and Piazza del Duomo, it served as the administrative, judicial and aggregation heart of the medieval city. Originally facing the basilica, between 1453–63 it was reoriented towards Piazza Vecchia to enhance the new city hub. Truly stunning (Original) Il Palazzo della Ragione di Bergamo Alta è un autentico gioiello medioevale, tra i più antichi palazzi pubblici comunali in Italia, costruito tra il 1183 e il 1198. Sviluppato tra Piazza Vecchia e Piazza del Duomo, fungeva da cuore amministrativo, giudiziario e di aggregazione della città medievale . Originariamente rivolto verso la basilica, tra il 1453–63 fu riorientato verso Piazza Vecchia per valorizzare il nuovo fulcro cittadino. Veramente stupendo

(Translated by Google) It's very beautiful, but what I find truly interesting is the fact that it has been used several times to host contemporary art installations... the dialogue between the past and the present is often re-enacted, as in the Cattelan sculpture currently located there. It depicts a homeless man slumped on a bench, intent on pissing himself... and it's no coincidence that it was placed there... the Palazzo della Ragione was the place where justice was administered, so this statue is a clear social commentary that unfortunately remains relevant... (Original) È molto bello però la cosa che trovo davvero interessante è il fatto che è stato utilizzato diverse volte per ospitare istallazioni di arte contemporanea...il dialogo tra il passato e il contemporaneo viene spesso riproposto come nella scultura di Cattelan che al momento risiede in quel luogo. È rappresentato un barbone mentre accasciato su una panchina è intento a pisciarsi addosso ...e non ha caso è stato collocato in quel luogo...il palazzo della ragione era il posto dove veniva amministrata la giustizia quindi questa statua è una chiara critica sociale sempre attuale purtroppo...

The Palace of Reason has served as a government seat, courthouse, library, and theater. Its elegant architecture and rich legacy place it at the center of Bergamo’s cultural and civic life. Deeply cherished by locals, it remains a symbol of the city’s enduring history and communal pride.

(Translated by Google) This building was built in 1198 as a town hall, making it the second oldest town hall in Italy after the Roman one. Previously, the main façade faced the Piazza Duomo, where the entrance staircase also stood. After fires in the 13th-16th centuries, the building underwent significant reconstruction. The main façade was reoriented north, toward the Piazza Vecchia, a new staircase was added to the side, and the old one was dismantled. After annexation by the Venetian Republic, the building housed the Palace of Justice, a name it retains to this day. Since Napoleon's time, the building's civic significance has gradually faded; it has been used as a library, and for a time, it even stood empty. It is now used as an exhibition space. The frescoes, ceilings, windows, and the entire interior are 16th-century, but the exterior retains elements from the 12th. (Original) Это знание было построено в 1198 году как ратуша, и это вторая ратуша в Италии по времени основания после римской. Ранее главный фасад был обращен к площади Дуомо, там же была и входная лестница, после пожаров XIII- XVI веков была проведена значительная реконструкция здания, главный фасад переориентировали на север, к площади Веккья, сбоку пристроить новую лестницу, а старую разобрали. После присоединения к Венецианской республике в здании разместился Дворец правосудия, это название сохранилось до настоящего времени. Со времен Наполеона постепенно теряется гражданское значение сооружения, в нем размешают библиотеку, какое-то время оно даже пустует. Сейчас используется как выставочное пространство. Фрески, перекрытия, окна, весь интерьер- это 16 век, но снаружи есть элементы 12-го.

(Translated by Google) Built between the late 12th and late 13th centuries, it is one of the oldest municipal buildings in Italy. Its stone façade features a loggia with pointed arches overlooking Piazza Vecchia. During Venetian rule, the building was used as a courthouse, hence its name, as the judges "rendered justice" to the citizens. Under the portico, there is a sundial carved into the marble pavement, dating back to the 18th century, which marks the local midday and the date. The upper floor houses the Sala delle Capriate, where contemporary art exhibitions are organized in collaboration with the GAMeC of Bergamo. (Original) Costruito tra la fine del XII e la fine del XIII secolo, è uno dei palazzi comunali più antichi d'Italia. La sua facciata in pietra presenta una loggia con archi ogivali che si affaccia su Piazza Vecchia. Durante il dominio veneziano, il palazzo fu utilizzato come tribunale, da cui deriva il suo nome, in quanto i giudici "rendevano ragione" ai cittadini. Sotto il porticato, si trova una meridiana incisa nel marmo della pavimentazione, risalente al Settecento, che segna il mezzogiorno locale e la data. Il piano superiore ospita la Sala delle Capriate, dove vengono organizzate mostre d'arte contemporanea in collaborazione con la GAMeC di Bergamo

We came here for a dinner. The place is really cozy but in a bad location, very disappointed with a pizza which was quite dry and no topping on,fish too salty and not fresh for sure... only the risotto was ok. Good floor staff service, nice and kind!

Good for lunch

(Translated by Google) Really very nice and cozy environment. Impeccable service: very kind waiters and dishes arrived quickly. Excellent parking in front. Beautiful window overlooking the hills. Prices a little above average but excellent value for money: it's worth it. (Original) Ambiente davvero molto carino e raccolto. Servizio impeccabile: camerieri gentilissimi e piatti arrivati in fretta. Ottimo parcheggio di fronte. Bella vetrata che dà sulle colline. Prezzi un pò sopra la media ma ottimo rapporto qualità prezzo: ne vale la pena.

(Translated by Google) The Pizza Estiva was delicious, but the real recommendation here is the Pizza Basilico. The mozzarella, Grana Padano, and pesto are so well-balanced that they complement each other wonderfully. Unfortunately, there are few gluten-free options, but the beef with roasted potato wedges (Tagliata di Manzo con Patate arrosto) was definitely a good choice. (Original) De Pizza Estiva was heerlijk, maar de echte aanrader is hier de Pizza Basilico. Hierop zijn de Mozzarella , Grana Padano en Pesto dusdanig in balans dat ze elkaar fantastisch aanvullen. Helaas weinig glutenvrije opties, maar het rundvlees met geroosterde aardappelpartjes (Tagliata di Manzo con Patate arrosto) was zeker geen verkeerde keuze.

(Translated by Google) Small, well-kept location, few tables but quiet and romantic with a beautiful view of the Bergamo hills. Well prepared and excellent dishes on the palate. The sliced ​​beef is delicious, soft and very tasty. Accurate and friendly service from the staff.

Absolute must see in Bergamo. Beautifully furnished palace with lots of art and decorative tableware and ceramics. This palace has a big gorgeous garden where u can have a relaxing time during your holiday. Dont miss this ❤️

We visited the palace and gardens on Sunday and there were quite a few visitors. The palace rooms are spectacular, they are extremely well preserved and restored. There is also the possibility of a guided tour without exorbitant costs. The gardens are a breath of fresh air in the fortress. They are absolutely unusual for Citta Alta.

Very beautiful and very well kept. Nice for an hour-ish long detour. The garden is absolutely beautiful! The price in September 2025. for the palazzo and the garden was 11€ per person.

I had a self guided tour through the palace, the interior is stunning, walking up the staircase has a wow factor. It’s very beautiful. The gardens were lovely too. Definitely a place to visit if you’re interested in the baroque period, I thought the €10 euro entry fee was very reasonable too. I chose to visit around 11am on a weekday and it was incredibly quiet, the staff were very helpful. If you’re staying or visiting Cita Alta, it’s a must see, I hope to visit again in the future.

Great visit. Better than many art museums plus a relaxing garden with amazing views.

Amazing place to experience and worth it just for the garden alone. Compared to traditional museum experiences in Bergamo I much preferred our visit here.

Came here with abbonamento FAI, spent around 2h in the museum and its garden. The palazzo is not super big, but beautiful. My favorite part was the ceiling in every room - stunning! Plus the garden in super nice, well curated, full of greens and flowers.

Such towers were very popular all over northern Italy during the medieval ages. They expressed the wealth of families who built it, but very few remained today. This tower is in the very center of Bergamo upper town, on the main Piazza Vecchia square. Entry ticket of 7 Euros includes climbing the top with an elevator, as well a small archaeological museum down. Views from up (there're two platforms) are stunning, with both upper and lower Bergamo, as well half Lombardy on a clear day

Probably the highlight of my day in Bergamo! I arrived 5 minutes before they opened the doors and I had the tower for myself for about 10 minutes. The view is truly spectacular! Tickets are only a couple of euros and you can also combine the campanone and the museum inside which was interesting but the view is what makes it so worth visiting!

Hearing the bell ring while soaking in those amazing views of Bergamo—that’s a cool moment!

Amazing view from the top of the tower and a very good interactive museum.

🎫 Currently 7 euros but includes 3 parts to the visit. Stunning tower right in the main square, 52.76m high. You can walk up or take the elevator, handy! The views are wow 🔔 Then you can visit the remains of the Podesta Palace of the family, some ruins and then a lovely little museum on the history of Bergamo 'Museo Delle Stories di Bergamo". Lots of activities going on this year in general. Definitely worth it!

Stopped by the is town on the way from Milan to Garda. It were many things to do, to shop and good food around. Bought 12 Euro ticket/person to go in Campanone which this same ticket can be used to access another 4 museums nearby as well. The exhibition has been presented brilliantly, so we enjoyed everything here a lot. The only down side is that it all in Italian so we had to use translation application most of the time.

Buy a combined ticket online for the historical museum which includes this Bell's tower. Incredible view from the top with elevator access if needed. A must to discover the beauty of the old city and the nearby hills.

Serena with her culinary research creates an excellent combination of quality and price. I always bring my family and when we arrive we are always welcomed with great joy and kindness.

(Translated by Google) A casual restaurant, excellent for business lunches. I can't comment on the evening fare since I've never been there. The staff is welcoming and polite. The service is average for the wait times required for business lunches. (Original) Locale informale, ottimo per pranzi di lavoro, non posso esprimermi per la sera dato che non ci son mai stato. Personale ospitale ed educato. Servizio per i tempi di attesa richiesti per i pranzi di lavoro nella media.

(Translated by Google) On weekdays, the two-course lunch is delicious and very cheap. Highly recommended! On weekdays, the "pasta + second course & side dish" lunch is delicious and amazingly inexpensive. I totally recommend it! (Original) Nei giorni feriali, il pranzo a due portate è delizioso ed economicissimo. Consigliatissimo! On weekdays, the "pasta + secondo & contorno" lunch is delicious and amazingly inexpensive. I totally recommend it!

(Translated by Google) I have dined at this place a few times. The quality of the food is good and the courtesy of the staff as well. But the wait is often too long. It is not acceptable to wait an hour for a pizza when the place is half empty. Or a wrong pizza, a random dessert and an invented coffee arrived at the table. The problem is that since they are slow you still have to wait a long time for them to bring you the correct order. Sorry but this leads to a negative experience (Original) Ho cenato alcune volte in questo locale. La qualità del cibo è buona e la cortesia del personale pure. Però l'attesa è spesso eccessiva. Non è accettabile attendere un'ora per una pizza quando il locale è mezzo vuoto. Oppure sono arrivati al tavolo una pizza sbagliata, un dolce a caso e un caffè inventato. Il problema che essendo lenti devi aspettare ancora assai affinché ti portino l'ordine corretto. Dispiace ma ciò comporta un' esperienza negativa

(Translated by Google) Excellent staff, friendly and courteous Very good pizzas! Chocolate cake with warm heart one of my favourites. Definitely coming back (Original) Ottimo personale, gentile e cortese Pizze molto buone! Tortino al cioccolato con cuore caldo uno dei miei preferiti. Da tornarci sicuramente
