Day trips
About 50 minutes by train from Milano Centrale: Piazza Vecchia, the Colleoni Chapel and the UNESCO-listed walls.
Bergamo’s Città Alta (Upper Town), with its UNESCO-listed Venetian walls, is less than an hour by train from Milano Centrale. A perfect outing, even for half a day.

Direct Trenord regional train, about 50 minutes. Alternatively, there are trains from Porta Garibaldi via Carnate, taking about 1 hour.
In town

The most beautiful square in the Città Alta, with the Palazzo della Ragione and the Civic Tower.
Art
Two masterpieces side by side, just steps from Piazza Vecchia.
Views
A stroll along the walls with views over the plain, then the funicular to climb even higher.
