Backpacking in Bergamo

Are you planning to go to Italy and could not afford an expensive vacation package? Are you sick of staying in dingy hostels when backpacking around Europe? Then choose from the vast array of comfortable hostels in Bergamo.

Bergamo is a small town in Lombardi, Italy with 117,000 inhabitants. This town played a special role in Italian history as it is a home to the ancient settlement of the Celtic tribe of Cenomani. A romantic spot on the Italian Lakes, Bergamo’s land is divided into two – the Citta Alta and the Citta Bassa, each packed with interesting historical sites, from the Citadella to the Basilica de Santa Maria Maggiore.

Citti del Mille hostel is furnished in a classic style, and close to the village gates of Bergamo. Another prominent hostel in Bergamo is the Hotel Piemontese. Close to the train station, its rustic and traditional building is well-equipped with all modern conveniences.

If you desire a quiet immersion into historic Italy, then the La Valleta Relais is just the place for you. The La Valleta Relais offers a relaxing and exhilarating view of the alpine valley, with spacious rooms overlooking the Citta Alta.

If you get as excited about food as the view, you’ll love the Hotel Ristorante Miramonti. It serves up a delicious selection of local dishes, with unrivalled views of Lake Como.

The Hotel Piazza Vecchia is a romantic refuge, perched in the hills of Bergamo. Surrounded by intimate restaurants and shops on old cobblestone streets, this is old-world Italy at its best.
