Might be a good idea to say where you will have been... Assuming you have done boring, over rated Florence, then I would guess Milan would be good, but takes a little more than 2 days to take in. I'm sure others can recommend other places in between,聽 but for somewhere near your destination, then have a look at Bergamo - enjoy whatever you do...smiley

If you do get to go, then I would suggest you find parking (never driven there) in the new town and then head up to the old (Alta) by funicular and if you like nice views on up even higher to San Viglio. There in not much up there, but on a clear day the views are superb! A 24 hour ticket for the funicular and buses is/was only 鈧5 for a very quaint way to travel. This has information on the funicular.I don鈥檛 know how serious he was about it, but the chef Carluccio visiting for one of his shows said his favourite place to eat was Parietti Piero was just outside of the old town. 聽Also mentioned in this is Da Mimmo, which we ate at a number of times, even had live music on a Saturday night with a singer and lovely violin player.

Bergamo is a nice city, specially the old part, citta Alta. But I would recomend a trip around the Iseo Lake. There are many beutiful cities around the lake to visit. 聽Have some lunch at Bar Centrale in Lovere and dinner/overnight at the hotel Panoramico in Fonteno. That will make hour days pass away to fast.聽
