Well, my main tip would be to stay in the old town. Lots to see and do there.

Before you go, see if you can watch and listen to the musical shows 'Tosca'; 'The Girl of the Golden West'; 'Madam Butterfly'; 'La Boheme'...

Puccini, who wrote all these and more, is buried in the main church in Bergamo.

I was in Bergamo earlier this year. The best food we had was at the La Marianna Ristorante. Not cheap but worth every penny.Worst food was Ristorante Lalimentari in the old square which was beyond awful.

Apart from it raining without stop we had a decent break . thanks for all the tips . Old town was really relaxing . I'm more of a shop windower than a shopper . really nice food . Watched the match (above ) in the local irish bar with a fair amount of atalanta fans . There wasn't as much passion than my local on any given weekend . Good smallish city . Airport close and recommend getting the bus/train/ funicular tickets . cost 7euro for 3 days

We stayed in the new town. The old town is lovely though, so definitely go there in the evening etc.

We had a couple of meals at Pizzeria Da Nasti and it was lovely. Think they had 200 different pizza.
