• Piazza Vecchia - This is the central hub of the Città Alta and one of the city’s most charming areas. It is a medieval square encircled by some of the city’s historic buildings, including the Palazzo Nuovo and the Civic Tower.
• Colleoni Chapel - Another highlight of the private tour of Bergamo is the Colleoni Chapel, a Renaissance masterpiece. Located in Piazza del Duomo, its facade is a visual delight, crafted from marble in various colors. Inside, you’ll find the tombs of Bartolomeo Colleoni, who commissioned the building in 1472.
• Bergamo Cathedral - The guided tour also includes a visit to one of the city’s most iconic landmarks, the Cathedral of Bergamo, also known as the Cathedral of St. Alexander. This historic building, constructed in the 5th century A.D., houses several Christian treasures, including the tiara of Italian Pope John XXIII.
• Castello di San Vigilio - The remnants of a grand castle, featuring turrets, gun ports, loopholes, and a star-shaped design, built on a complex underground network of galleries and secret passages to protect Bergamo and its surroundings.

For centuries, it served as the residence of various lords of Bergamo and is perched on a hill 500 meters high, overlooking the Upper Town. From its peak, you can view Mount Bastia, the villages of the Breno valley, and the Almenno plain.

• Convento di San Francesco | Museo della fotografia Sestini | Bergamo 900 - The cloister of the Arche, the cloister of the Well, and the Chapter House preserve the long history of this building with its 14th and 17th-century frescoes.

From the panoramic terrace, you can admire the convergence of the Seriana and Brembana valleys.

The convent houses the offices, archives, and library of the Bergamo History Museum and hosts temporary exhibitions.

• Basilica di Santa Maria Maggiore - Constructed in 1137 on ancient temples as a gesture of gratitude by the people of Bergamo to the Virgin for the end of the Plague, the church immediately showcased its grandeur and was later adorned with frescoes, stuccoes, tapestries, and wooden inlays following Lorenzo Lotto’s designs.

The Basilica is unique for lacking a central entrance: all four entrances to the church are lateral.

The door of the red Lions opens onto Piazza Duomo; the south side faces Piazza Rosate with the door of the “white Lions.” The different colors are due to the type of marble used.

• Torre del Gombito - The impressive Torre del Gombito was constructed in 1200 as a symbol of power and military dominance during the city’s factional conflicts: it controlled access to Piazza Vecchia, the vibrant heart of Bergamo, from the streets leading from the Bergamo valleys.
• Palazzo Della Ragione - The Palazzo della Ragione was established as one of Italy’s first “communal” palaces, built nearly a thousand years ago to host the city’s public assemblies. It was later used as a court.

This 800-year-old palace showcases the city’s history and culture through its architecture and artistic displays. One of its galleries features a 1798 sundial that precisely marks noon and the date on the marble floor.
