It’s a mood. You land. The air feels different. Cooler. Fresher. Slower.
Forty-five minutes later, you’re sipping espresso in a cobblestone square that hasn’t changed in centuries. Church bells echo across terracotta rooftops. Locals greet each other by name. There’s no rush. No noise. Just Italy — the way it was meant to be.
This is Bergamo. And starting 20 May, it’s just one direct flight away from Kuwait with Jazeera Airways.
The Italy People Whisper About
Everyone talks about Rome.
Everyone photographs Venice.
Everyone shops in Milan.
But Bergamo? Bergamo is the one Italians keep for themselves.
Its Città Alta — the Upper Town — sits wrapped in UNESCO-listed Venetian walls, overlooking the Lombardy plains and the distant Alps. You reach it by funicular, rising slowly above the modern city until suddenly you’re inside another era.
Stone streets. Charming courtyard cafés. Golden-hour views that don’t need filters. And the best part? You’re not fighting crowds to enjoy it.
Your Key to Northern Italy
Here’s the secret: Bergamo isn’t just beautiful. It’s strategic.
From here, Northern Italy opens up effortlessly.
Milan — under an hour. Fashion, football, finance, flair.
Lake Como — cinematic views and lakeside elegance.
Verona — beautiful piazzas, opera, history.
Venice — canals and timeless beauty.
Florence — art, architecture, Tuscan charm.
You could base yourself in Bergamo and explore a new city every day.
Or stay put — and let the city reveal itself slowly.
And If You’re Not Done Yet…
From Northern Italy, borders blur.
Drive north and you’re in Switzerland.
Head west and you’re touching France.
Go east toward Austria.
One flight. Multiple countries.
