Last Day in Italy — Bergamo

Last Day in Italy — Bergamo
Today was the last full day in Italy. Tomorrow morning I am flying back to Greece, and honestly, I can’t believe how fast these days went by. It’s been a full trip — from the energy of Milan, to the peace of Lake Como, and now ending here in Bergamo.

Today I spent my day in Bergamo. I have heard some great things from friends that visited Bergamo and I was curious since it is not a must-see destination in Italy, since Italy has so many other places to visit. Still, I wanted to give it a chance and see what it’s really like.
To tell you the truth, the visit did not meet the expectations I had about the city. Don’t get me wrong — it’s a good place to visit, but nothing special. I went to Città Alta, a really good place with some amazing views of the city and strong medieval vibes. The streets there are charming, with stone alleys, old buildings, and cozy cafés. I walked around for a few hours, explored the main square, tried some local pastries, and enjoyed the view from the top — it really gives you a nice perspective of the city.

I really like the city’s market road with clothing stores etc., but that was it. I didn’t find anything special in the city to make me want to revisit. Maybe that is because I visited the Lake Como villages of Varenna and Bellagio — that was amazing and magical! The contrast between those places and Bergamo is probably what made me feel this way.

And of course Milan, with the amazing Milanese vibe — that city left a mark. So, while Bergamo was nice, it just didn’t have that “wow” factor. Still, I’m glad I came. It felt like the right quiet way to end my trip before heading back home.

I am loving what you share here, and for me I am barely enjoying my first hours in Italy, and my first time in this country. I will only know Rome, but I see places like this and they fill me with joy and the desire to know more. I know that Milan and Venice are very impressive, and Bergamo seems to be very quiet in every way. Be that as it may, you have said goodbye to Italy to the greats, thanks for sharing it. I hope your trip to Greece goes well, it is another place that I dream of visiting one day...

I hope you also have a good time ! Maybe my next travel will be Rome I love the history and I have to see it soon !

I totally get what you mean, some places don’t have that instant ‘wow’ but still leave you with a quiet appreciation. Bergamo sounds like the perfect calm ending to your Italian adventure!

I hope you enjoyed your last day in ITALY Bergamo and have safe trip back to Greece.

A lovely trip to Bergamo, I think it's a peaceful and beautiful place to visit.
