This apartment is in a beautiful old building, very clean and in a superb location. Just a few steps from the funicular and a lovely walk through the old city to the squares and walks around the city walls with fabulous views. Take the next funicular up to the next level for even more beautiful views and a walk around the castle ruins. The apartment is just steps from the main street with lots of boutique shops, restaurants, cake shops, toy shops venues for musical events (pre check what is on and prices before travel). Do visit the Basilica di' Santa Maria Maggiore off the main square, Piazza Vecchia, very beautiful. Fabulous architecture everywhere.
We can highly recommend the Californian cafe in the funicular station for food, fabulous and good prices.
Down in Citta Basa it is busy, more shops and places to eat and visit for cultural experiences. There is a good train station for onward travel to Milan or the Lakes. Bergamo is one of our favourite places to visit, so much going on. 5*****
