ITINERARY
Day 1: Enchanting Bergamo
Arrive in the early afternoon to the mesmerizing city of Bergamo. Begin your adventure by unraveling the secrets of the picturesque Città Alta. Wander through its labyrinthine medieval alleys, each step revealing a new historical or artistic wonder. Stand in awe at Piazza Vecchia, where the majestic Contarini Fountain and the turreted palace of the Region await you. Don't miss the chance to climb the 53-meter-tall Campanone or Civic Tower, bridging Piazza Vecchia and Piazza Duomo. Immerse yourself in the splendor of the Basilica of Santa Maria Maggiore, the Cathedral of St. Alessandro, the Baptistery, and the Colleoni Chapel.
As the evening sets in, dine at Trattoria La Colombina in the charming cittadella. Savor a delectable local menu featuring polenta crostone with salami and pickles, seasonal risotto, and a delightful dessert, all accompanied by water, house wine, and coffee. Rest comfortably overnight in a double room at La Residenza del Borgo*** or a similar establishment.
Day 2: Discovering Cornello dei Tasso
After a hearty breakfast, embark on a scenic drive to Val Brembana, arriving at the enchanting village of Cornello dei Tasso. Perched majestically above the valley, this village is accessible via a quaint footpath. Here, the expert staff of the local Museo Postale will guide you through the intriguing history of this timeless place. For lunch, indulge in authentic regional dishes at Trattoria Camozzi, including the beloved "casoncelli" from Bergamo. Spend a leisurely afternoon amidst the lush greenery before heading back to Bergamo. The evening is yours to explore, with dinner on your own, and another restful night in Bergamo.
Day 3: From Clusone to Lovere
Start your day with a delightful breakfast before driving to Clusone, a captivating town nestled on a vast plateau surrounded by the verdant forests of the Orobie Mountains. Explore the town's rich historical tapestry, marveling at the medieval frescoes in the Oratory of the Disciplini. Be sure to witness the remarkable astronomical clock, which has astonished visitors for over four centuries with its original mechanics.
Continue your journey to Lovere, a picturesque village on the shores of Lake Iseo, nestled among the mountains between Bergamo and Brescia. This charming locale gained worldwide fame for artist Christo's stunning installation, The Floating Piers. The drive along the lake offers breathtaking views of the serene waters and surrounding mountains.
