Bergamo is a major city, and the roads tend to be busy, so it’s advisable for first-time visitors to include Sat Nav to make things easier! This comes as standard with some of our rental vehicles. The A4 is the main motorway in and out of the city, and connects Bergamo to the east and west of the country. The city is also served by several major routes, the SS525 which enters the city from the south west, the SP35 to the north east, and the SS470, which runs around the outskirts of the city.

Bergamo is divided into the Upper City, the ancient Medieval town located on top of the hill, and the Lower City, which is the modern shopping, business and residential district. The city is also surrounded by 34 diverse villages which are known collectively as the Great Bergamo. Renowned for its longstanding tradition of excellence in the arts, Bergamo has produced several well-known artists and composers, and was the birthplace of the Bergamask folk dance.

There is plenty to see and do within the city, but you don’t just have to use your car hire in Bergamo itself! Many of the surrounding areas are fascinating and are within easy driving distance. One of these is Lovere, known as one of the most beautiful villages in Italy. Surrounded by mountains and set on a lakeside, it offers stunning examples of Art Nouveau and Neoclassical architecture. It’s also a great place to relax!
