Bergamo is a city in the alpine Lombardia region of northern Italy, approximately 40 km northeast of Milan, and about 30 km from Switzerland, the alpine lakes Como and Iseo and 70 km from Garda and Maggiore. The Alps (Alpi Orobie) begin immediately north of the city.With a population of around 120,000, it is the fourth-largest city in Lombardia. The metropolitan area, extends beyond the administrative city limits, spanning over a densely urbanized area with slightly less than 500,000 inhabitants. The metropolitan area is itself part of the broader Milan metropolitan area, home to over 8 million people.
The city is composed of an old walled core, known as Città Alta (“Upper Town”), nestled within a system of hills constituting a regional park, and the modern expansion in the plains below. The upper town is encircled by massive Venetian defensive systems that are a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Bergamo is well connected to several cities in Italy, thanks to the motorway A4 stretching on the axis between Turin, Milan, Verona, Venice and Trieste. The city is served by Il Caravaggio International Airport, the third-busiest airport in Italy with 12.3 million passengers in 2017. Itis the second most visited city in Lombardia after Milan.
