There are at least 3 ways to get to the castle: challenging, picturesque and easy.
I take the middle one: I follow wide curves up to the top for several kilometers. I watch the landscapes, listen to birds and do not get tired too much.
The challenging route I ecknowledge on my way back to Citta Alta. I pass along people who breath deeply and rest each several steps. But they are following this path:
The third way is more expensive but comfortable. Here is the upper station of Funicolare:

The challenging path was picturesque, especially when you take it down the hill 😀

This walk is definitely a unique experience, Awa! Is there any good hostel you would suggest near this amazing scenery?

I can strongly recommend Fontana del Delfino appartments – Via Pignolo 97. It’s outside the city walls but as Bergamo is small anyway, it’s not a problem. My room was on the third floor – very steepy stairs but what w view! On both sides. You can read about the rising sun here: https://awawdrodze.wordpress.com/2017/04/23/bergamo-the-sun-is-rising/.

I’m glad that my pictures inspired you. The old city is tiny (20 minutes of walk from one side to other) but very picturesque. Don’t miss also delicious Italian food 🙂
