Best Bergamo holiday apartments

Just over twenty miles away from Milan in the Lombardy region of Italy, Bergamo is a somewhat undiscovered jewel in the Italian crown and must rank as one of the prettiest cities in the country. Set against a magnificent Alpine backdrop, a myriad of red-roof buildings nestle on the hilltops of Bergamo while majestic Venetian fortifications look down over all below. Bergamo is a World Heritage Site and is unique in that it is split into two distinct halves – Città Bassa and Città Alta, which are connected by a cable car. 9flats.com has a number of apartments to rent in the city, all located in residential areas. The opportunity to live amongst the locals and experience life as they do by renting a holiday apartment in Bergamo is one not to be missed. Much like the activity of couchsurfing in Bergamo, although more comfortable and private, staying in a 9flats apartment is an affordable alternative to costly city hotel accommodation.

Rent a Holiday Apartment in Bergamo and Experience History

History buffs will simply adore the Città Alta (Upper City). This is the historic heart of Bergamo, surrounded by a seventeenth century wall. Bergamo Cathedral, the Basillica of Santa Maria Maggiore and the Gallery of Modern Art are all located here. The old square, Piazza Vecchia, is a glorious collection of quaint pavement cafes, classy restaurants and colourful residences, all completely free from the unwelcome presence of traffic. The food served in most of the eateries in Bergamo is mainly on the hearty side with beef, sausage and veal particular favourites. Fish of the freshwater variety is another common sight on most menus. As to be expected in Italy, the food in Bergamo is always of the highest quality. 9flats has accommodation throughout the city. Holiday apartments in Valtesse are located in the north of the city near the Città Alta. If you are looking for a slightly quieter place to stay, then renting a holiday apartment in Seriate, just over a mile from the centre of Bergamo, is a good option.

Affordable Holiday Accommodation in Bergamo

The modern, more commercial area of Bergamo is located in the Città Bassa (Lower City). In complete contrast to the historically rich Città Alta, the lower part of Bergamo is a vibrant hive of heavy traffic, commuters and high-rise buildings. These complete polar opposites are what make Bergama such a unique and fascinating city to stay in. As it is so close, you could always consider renting a holiday apartment in Milan and travelling to Bergamo on a day visit.
