Bergamo, my small but lovely hometown, is considered a worthwhile one day trip from Milan or lake Como. In this article you’ll find all you need to know on how to spend one day in Bergamo, my travel tips and food suggestions.
A route of about 80 km, between hills scattered with vineyards, villas, medieval villages, centuries-old abbeys and parks, Franciacorta stretches from Brescia to lake Iseo, became especially famous for artist Christo’s artwork “The Floating Piers” in 2016.
Valcalepio, the hilly belt area in Bergamo province including 9 municipalities in Bergamo, certainly plays a key role in Lombardy wine production.
The vines cultivated around Lake Garda are grown on morainic soils, carved by glaciers millions of years ago and now the perfect terroir to make some of the most appreciated wines in Italy: Bardolino is one of these excellencies.
UNESCO heritage since 2008 and Capital of Culture in 2016, Mantua is surely worth visiting. The typical food is amazing – tortelli di zucca and agnoli are my favorite – and cultural heritage make Mantua an ideal destination for a day trip from Milan, Venice or Verona!
