Transfer from Milan to Bergamo. You will have time at your disposal to discover the enormous artistic and historical value of the Old City, whose original nucleus has its roots in an ancient Celtic settlement. Today's architecture mostly recalls the Roman period (in 49 B.C. Julius Caesar gave the city the title of Municipality) and the Venetian period (16th century), during which Bergamo became part of the Serenissima Republic of Venice. It was Venice itself that oversaw the construction of some of its most important public buildings and its imposing walls, which are still an icon of the city today and which have earned it the prestigious recognition of World Heritage by UNESCO.  Guided tour on request for a fee.
