Bergamo is a city and comune in Lombardy, Italy, about 40 kilometres (25 miles) northeast of Milan. It is served by the Orio al Serio Airport, which also serves the Province of Bergamo and the metropolitan area of Milan. The foothills of the Alps begin immediately north of the town.
Main sights
The town has two centres: "Città alta" (upper city), a hilltop medieval town, surrounded by 17th-century cyclopic defensive walls, and the "Città bassa" (lower city). The two parts of the town are connected by funicular/cable car, roads, and foot-paths(the most convenient being immediately adjacent to the funicular station). Parking spaces are very limited in the upper city.

Climate
Bergamo experiences a humid subtropical climate characteristic of Northern Italy. While most of Italy is characterized by dry summers with little to no precipitation, Bergamo has the reverse trend; the summer is wetter than winter.
