What do I need to know before moving to Bergamo?
When we asked people what advice they would give someone preparing to move to Bergamo, they said...
"Bergamo is a beautiful city located in the Lombardy region of northern Italy. It is known for its stunning architecture, vibrant culture, and delicious cuisine. Before moving to Bergamo, expats should be aware that the city is divided into two parts: the Città Alta (Upper Town) and the Città Bassa (Lower Town). The Città Alta is the older part of the city and is home to many historical sites, while the Città Bassa is the more modern part of the city. Expats should also be aware that Bergamo is a relatively small city, so it is important to plan ahead and research the area before moving. Additionally, it is important to note that the cost of living in Bergamo is higher than in other parts of Italy, so expats should budget accordingly. Finally, expats should be aware that the local language is Italian, so it is important to learn some basic Italian before moving to Bergamo," explained one expat living in Bergamo, Italy.
