Borgo Santa Caterina is one of the places that fully represent the spirit of Bergamo: from the bright colors of the shop windows to the aromas of the delicatessens, to the historic buildings that enclose this incredible treasure chest of wonders like a pearl.
If you visit it during the day you will be enchanted!
Treat yourself to a coffee while contemplating how past and present, tradition and innovation come together, making this place perfect anytime, even if it’s just for a stroll.
If you discover it in the evening, on the other hand, you will find the main street dotted with cafes, each with its own unique style, so as to meet the expectations of the most diverse tastes.
The lights and music draw you into a panorama that perfectly echoes the evening brio of Milan’s canals.
This district, which owes its name to its most beautiful street dedicated precisely to St. Catherine, can be reached from several access points, through which to immerse oneself in the midst of a village full of life: the alternation of unique and characteristic small restaurants offers the opportunity to savor typical Bergamo cuisine (and more!) and to indulge in a coffee in the hustle and bustle of daylight hours.
Also very special is the coming and going that is created at night, especially in the summer during the evenings of the ‘Fridays of the Borgo”: unmissable events to combine fun, music and local food, to meet new people and to get recommendations for the perfect place to enjoy a good wine and make your evening unforgettable.
Even in the winter period the entertainment is no less and with the Christmas illuminations it becomes a small enchanted jewel.
For art lovers then, this is complemented by the remarkable artistic heritage, concentrated mainly within the sacred buildings, among which we recommend the Santuario dell’Addolorata, which contributes to making Borgo Santa Caterina a corner of Bergamo that provides excitement at all times of the year.
