Alta

During the Christmas season, Bergamo Alta transforms into a true village of wonders.
The ancient cobblestone streets, the UNESCO-listed Venetian walls, and the historic squares light up with warm lights and decorations that create a magical, timeless atmosphere.

Strolling along Via Gombito, Piazza Vecchia, and Colle Aperto becomes a dreamlike experience: with Christmas carols, the scent of sweets, and artisanal stalls, it feels like being a child again.

🎁 By staying at Opificio B&B Apartments, in Via Vittorio Veneto 24, Capriate San Gervasio, you can experience this magic with total comfort: Bergamo is reachable in less than 30 minutes, and when you return, a cozy apartment awaits you — the perfect place to relax after a day among Christmas markets and festive lights.

The heart of the festive season is represented by the Christmas markets, set up between Piazza Vecchia, the Sentierone, and Colle Aperto.
The wooden chalets offer traditional Bergamasque products, gift ideas, local crafts, and delights such as mulled wine, roasted chestnuts, panettone, and cheeses from Val Brembana.
Every stall is carefully curated, with lights and decorations that transform the upper city into a small Nordic village.

🎄 By staying at Opificio B&B Apartments, you can reach Bergamo in a short time, enjoy the Christmas market atmosphere without worries, and return to a warm, peaceful environment — perfect for families and couples.

Bergamo Alta literally shines during Christmas. Artistic lights decorate every street, from the center to the city walls, creating illuminated paths and romantic views.
Don’t miss the façade of the Palazzo della Ragione, which becomes the backdrop for projections and light shows, and the Cathedral of Sant’Alessandro, glowing beneath a sky of lanterns.

💡 Panoramic viewpoints such as the Rocca and the Campanone offer breathtaking views over the illuminated lower city — an unforgettable experience, especially on winter evenings.

✨ After admiring Bergamo lit up, returning to Opificio B&B Apartments means being wrapped in comfort and quiet, far from traffic yet very close to all the Christmas attractions.

The Christmas season in Bergamo also offers plenty of fun for both adults and children. In Piazza della Libertà, in the heart of the city, a large ice-skating rink is set up where grown-ups and kids can enjoy themselves safely.
You’ll also find traditional rides, refreshment stands serving hot drinks and seasonal sweets, and entertainment shows on weekends.

⛄ After a day spent between skating, lights, and laughter, returning to Opificio B&B Apartments is a delight: you can relax in your apartment, prepare dinner on your own, or rest up for new Christmas adventures the next day.

Bergamo is a city with deep religious and cultural roots, and during the Christmas season local traditions come to life with nativity scene exhibitions, concerts, and live reenactments.
Every church in Bergamo Alta hosts artistic nativity scenes, some crafted entirely by local artisans.
Among the most beautiful to visit are those in the Basilica of Santa Maria Maggiore, the Church of San Michele al Pozzo Bianco, and the Cloister of the Carmine.

🎶 The sounds of Christmas choirs resonate along the Venetian walls, creating an atmosphere that moves both adults and children.

🙏 Staying at Opificio B&B Apartments allows you to enjoy these experiences at your own pace, easily planning day trips to Bergamo without the limits of schedules or parking.
