Current hours and ticket info
Bergamo’s Città Alta, the beautiful old town ringed by Venetian walls, is home to several museums organized as the Museo delle Storie di Bergamo network. Seen together, these form a well-structured itinerary through the city’s past, making it easy to explore the highlights in a single or multi-day visit. The Rocca is a historic fortress offering superb views over the upper and lower towns, and contains the Museo del Risorgimento, with displays related to Bergamo’s role in the Italian unification. The Convento di San Francesco houses the Museo della Storia, illustrating Bergamo’s development from Roman days through the Middle Ages and the Venetian period using objects, interactive displays and models. The Campanone civic tower on Piazza Vecchia allows visitors to climb (or ride a lift) for another panoramic city view and learn about Bergamo’s centuries-old bell tradition. The Museo Donizettiano focuses on the life and work of the composer Gaetano Donizetti, displaying original scores, portraits, and memorabilia. Other network sites include preserved gunpowder magazines and Venetian fortifications set into the UNESCO-listed city walls. The foundation manages a unified ticket system: the “ALL IN ONE” pass, valid 48 hours, gives access to all the main venues, making it convenient for short stays. Small in scale but rich in content, these museums encourage visitors to discover Bergamo’s deep layers of history, with exhibitions often extending into courtyards and cloisters. Timetables can vary seasonally and for each location, so advance planning using the official website is recommended for the most rewarding route through the Città Alta’s museums, viewpoints, churches and atmospheric streets.
