The town of Bergamo is beautiful and worth stopping in, even if for one day, as a place heading for Milan. Bergamo has both an upper town known as ‘Città Alta’ (Upper City) and a lower town that is known as ‘Città Bassa’. The upper town is the historic part of the city and it's amazing. Cafes, bars and bakeries in abundance. We used the cafe at the funicular station and would recommend it.

We had great communication from Antonio before the trip - it was a little difficult to find from the directions but eventually we found the apartment door bell and Antonio met us.

The airbnb room is in a shared apartment, the room has two beds, storage and the bathroom is opposite. Antonio is the only resident in the apartment. He prepared a simple breakfast of coffee, pastry and eggs at the time he suggested and took us both to the airport as agreed.
