Stunning apartment, right in the centre of Bergamo, but brilliant sound proofing means you hear no noise at all. Excellent bus service down to train station (any no 1 bus will get you more or less there; you can buy your tickets for this at the newspaper stand by Colle Aperto. You can also use those same tickets 1.3 euros) to go up the funicular to the Relais, which is a stunning spot for a drink. We loved Da Mimmi, beautiful at night when the roof is pulled back, gorgeous food. Trattoria del teatro is excellent. And if you love desserts (and Italy is not really a dessert destination, unless you want tiramisu, tiramisu....) and find yourself in Milan, then head to Sal de Riso, as recommended by Stanley Tucci in his recent Italian travelogue...delizioso!
