Secret nature in Bergamo and Brescia

In Bergamo and Brescia, rediscover authentic green havens in the heart of the city. Hidden cloisters, terraced gardens, historical vegetable gardens and silent parks, narrating the deep link shared by nature, architecture and memory.

 

These venues - often outside the most popular tourist trails - preserve ancient stories and charming atmospheres, and open up beautiful and calm havens within the urban fabric. 

From palaces to monasteries and mysterious sanctuaries nestled between the mountains, each of these 6 destinations is an invitation to explore an old yet alive cultural heritage, where art’s historical legacy meets a wealth of floral and botanical species and unexpected panoramas. Here, time seems to slow down, and the urban landscape is transformed into a new discovery.
