Highlights
• Split-level Bergamo
Explore ancient lanes of the
charming Upper Town, and

avenues of the Lower Town
• Untouched valleys
Well away from the tourist trail,
the Bergamasco and Brescian
valleys are an insight into life in
Lombardy through the ages
• Low-key lakeside
Slow down to the gentle pace at
quiet Lago d’Iseo – a world away
from the international holiday
resorts of the other northern lakes
• Sparkling vintages
Sip the country’s best fizzy wines
among the vineyard-clad, gently
rolling hills of Franciacorta
Steep wooded hillside and mountains
ringing Lago d’Iseo
