- La Citta Alta - Bergamo is a town divided into two parts: Bergamo Alta (“the high town”) and Bergamo Bassa (“the low town”), linked by the historic cable car. In the heart of Bergamo Alta, dishes have been chosen that embody the region’s culinary heritage: from traditional farmers’ meals to richly prepared meats, and even gelato stracciatella, which originated here.
Guided by a local Foodie, participants will follow a secret itinerary within the Città Alta walls, exploring bold flavors and delicate aromas, from the roots of Lombard cuisine to the modern Bergamo food scene.

Each bite is perfectly paired with a glass of Valcalepio red wine, allowing participants to savor the rich flavors of the region and set the tone for the culinary journey ahead.
- Basilica di Santa Maria Maggiore - Next, the tour moves to the second stop. In one of Bergamo Alta’s most charming restaurants, traditional casoncelli or Foiade, a classic Sunday dish of the local tradition, will be savored, offering the authentic flavors that have been enjoyed in the region for generations.
- Piazza Vecchia - The tour will stroll past Piazza Vecchia and arrive at the next stop, where the famous polenta with lard and cheese will be tasted, a hearty and traditional dish that perfectly represents Bergamo’s rich culinary heritage.
- Viale delle Mura - Finally, participants will taste delicious ice cream, “stracciatella” flavor, and the inevitable conclusion of every proper Italian meal: espresso coffee.
