    Hey Lads,

    I have booked a weekend away in Bergamo. Having looked at things to do there, I'm wondering is it worthwhile staying in Milan rather than bergamo.

    I am looking to do a bit of outdoor stuff like mountain biking, cycing trips etc

    Any thought on these please ?

    Cheers

    Bergamo is beautiful. It is in two parts. The new part is a modern city but the old part on the hill is stuffed with history. Very much worth a visit. I can't tell you about cycling there but it was full of cyclists making the trip to the top of hill.

    Milan is also worth a visit but I don't think I would cycle in that city because they are nuts on the road. No prisoners taken. Make sure you go to the Stefano castle, museum and the napoleons arch. The cathedral is very busy but worth a visit. It is dark and your phone camera is useless in there. The metro is easy to use and relatively cheap.

    Heading to Bergamo in October; chose it instead of Milan, because I prefer smaller cities with an historic and walkable centre.
    Any recommendations for restaurants and/or hidden gems to visit ?
