We really enjoyed our stay in Bergamo, where everything was better than expected, including Dario's apartment. Very nice and safe place, in a gated residential area. The best accommodation in our Italian trip, which included Rome, Florence, Pisa, Venice and Milan. While all these destinations were as expected, Bergamo proved to be a very nice surprise, especially the old city area, which was very nice. A pleasant experience, but without crowds, endless street vendors, and a lot walking.
