Bergamo
Within commuting distance of Milan, Bergamo boasts a wealth of Baroque and Renaissance architecture - an influence of the city's inclusion in the Venetian Empire for over 350 years. Bergamo is comprised of a walled medieval centre atop a hill complete with palaces and museums and a more modern lower town with the train station, shops and restaurants.
