Il Sentierone

Il Sentierone is the primary pedestrian thoroughfare in Bergamo's lower town. Historically, it served as a promenade for the city's nobility, and today it remains a vibrant hub for locals and visitors alike. The street is lined with high-end shops, traditional cafes like Caffè Balzer, and a variety of restaurants. It's a popular spot for 'passeggiata' – the Italian tradition of a leisurely stroll – and people-watching. During late January, the street hosts the Bergamo Chocolate Festival, filling the air with enticing aromas.
