It is a digital tourist guide to Bergamo designed for those who want to shape their own visit without giving up an understanding of what each place means.
A visit can begin at the Venetian Walls and continue towards Piazza Vecchia, the true heart of the Città Alta.
This is where some of the most important monuments stand, including the Palazzo della Ragione, the Basilica of Santa Maria Maggiore, the Colleoni Chapel and the Campanone.
Because the attractions are so close together, they are easy to link into a single route accompanied by the audio guide.
Exploring Bergamo Alta on foot lets you appreciate alleys, passageways and views that often go unnoticed on a quick visit.
From the walls you can step into the historic heart of the city and reach Piazza Vecchia, then carry on towards its main religious and civic architecture.
With the audio guide, every stop takes on a clearer meaning without breaking the rhythm of your walk.
For centuries Bergamo belonged to the Republic of Venice, and the imposing Venetian Walls are one of the clearest reminders of that period.
