Where Should I go: Bergamo or Costa Vicentina?
Bergamo
The blue horizon, now flush with the pinks and purples of a waning day, cloaks the Alps in a mystic blush, only able to view its peaks through faded outlines. Proud, ancient Romanesque architecture surrounds you, and the city feels no more palpable than that of a summer dream. Bergamo, Italy is located in the Lombardy region, northeast of the Italian city Milan. Deemed a treasure in Northern Italy, Bergamo is divided into two centers: the Alta (upper) city and the Bassa (lower) cities, loosely connected by funicular and walking trails. From its cobblestone streets to its Venetian walls, Bergamo is an ancient Italian paradise with many historic sights to be explored, such as Basilica di Santa Maria Maggiore and the grand Cappella Colleoni. Breathtaking views, fine dining, high-tier boutiques and shops - it is no wonder that this beguiling city attracts tourists from all walks of life. Whether you look to explores it fine art museums or simply lounge languidly about a cafe, Bergamo is a city that can bring both divert and delight!
Costa Vicentina
Costa Vicentina is the beautiful coastal area in southwest Portugal which runs through both the Algarve and Alentejo Regions along the southern coast. This is actually part of the longest stretch of protected coastline in Portugal, making it one of the best places to experience the unadulterated beauty and nature of the country. Costa Vicentina offers miles of some of the best Portugal beaches, fantastic hiking trails, and lovely old villages to explore. The area sees far more Portuguese tourists than international ones, so expect Portuguese to be the only language spoken by many people, especially in the smaller villages.
