The Before Daylight
TRAVEL GUIDE
Bergamo Italia
It takes about an hour by express train from Milan to reach Bergamo station. In front of the station, you can see the modern cityscape, then you look far away, you can see the old town of Citta Alta on the hill. Take a taxi and go up the hill toward Citta Alta. In no time, we arrived at the roundabout at Museo Sienze Bergamo, just beyond the old town. As you approach the arch of the building, which is the entrance to the old town, you can hear the accordion sound. The smile of the man who plays it is wonderful. A nice city walk starts from here. But there is another highlight of the city. It’s the hill of San Vigilio. You can get there on foot or take cable car. On the hill you will meet wonderful scenery.

Early in the morning, when the sky is getting brighter, take your camera and go outside. Beautiful pictures can be taken from the cable car station, in front of Hotel Relais San Vigilio, and at the top of the hill. The sky changes from gray to orange, and the shining sun appears. It’s a great show that you’ll never forget.
