Hire a car in Bergamo
Resting at the foothills of the Alps, Bergamo is more than just a day trip from Milan.
Bergamo is a two-in-one city, with a duo city centre. Bergamo Bassa is the contemporary town and 100 metres above, overlooking the southern plains is the medieval Bergamo Alta. While the two counterparts have unique characteristics worth exploring, Bergamo Alta and its historic architecture is where you’ll want to spend most of your time.
Whether you’re looking to rent a car to reach the nearby ski resorts or discover the Lombardy region’s lakes, don’t dismiss Bergamo’s enticing views and ancient Venetian allures.

The lakes
Lake Como and Lake Garda are deservingly glorified trips to make from either Bergamo or Milan, but the neighbouring Lake Iseo is equally deserving of a day trip. Usually bypassed by visitors, its elusiveness means you’ll have the chance to escape the hordes of tourists.
Surrounded by densely wooded mountains, Lake Iseo’s dramatic beauty may be considered even more commanding than Lake Como’s. The lake’s lack of glamorous villages means it has a more natural romantic charm, which you won’t want to miss.

For the wine connoisseur
Franciacorta
Prosecco may be Italy’s most illustrious sparkling wine, but it’s far from the country’s only sparkler. To the west of Bergamo, bordering Lake Iseo, is the Franciacorta wine region, which produces around 15 million bottles of metodo classico – sparkling wine – each year.
Considered a young region, commercial production only starting in the area during the 1960s, though grapes have been grown in the area since Roman times. The lesser known Franciacorta is by no means unfamiliar because of its quality. Unlike the mass produced Prosecco, Franciacorta goes through a production process that is even more rigorous than Champagne.
It’s roughly 40 minutes’ drive from Bergamo to the Franciacorta wineries. The region’s gently rolling hills and favourable climate make it a relaxing and scenic day trip, even for non-wine enthusiasts.
