For more than four hundred years it has been the heart of Bergamo, traversed by the Sentierone, the historic meeting and strolling point for citizens.
Downtown Lower Bergamo is the perfect place to stroll for shopping, entertainment, art and history! This magnificent stretch of centuries-old street is the elegant Centro Piacentiniano: an incredible architectural complex that once housed the ancient city fair. The ancient atmosphere is evoked thanks to the many events and typical stalls that enliven the city center with colors and scents all year round.
Proceeding along the course of the Sentierone, skirting the row of imposing chestnut trees and passing the propylaeums of Porta Nuova, you will reach Via XX Settembre, overlooked by Palazzo Frizzoni, the seat of the City Hall. From here on, you’ll just have to let yourself be carried away by the hustle and bustle of local life: awaiting you are boutiques and stores of all kinds, glimpses and alleyways of rare beauty, all in the name of leisure. And finally, why not treat yourself to a coffee or an aperitif with one of the clubs that enliven this corner of the city?
