• •Piazza Vecchia — the centerpiece of the Città Alta enclosed by medieval and Renaissance buildings, with the Palazzo della Ragione, Contarini Fountain, and the Campanone bell tower
• •Venetian Walls (UNESCO) — a 6-kilometer ring of 16th-century Venetian defensive walls encircling the upper city, with four monumental gates and walkable ramparts offering plain views
• •Basilica of Santa Maria Maggiore — a Romanesque exterior hiding an overwhelmingly ornate Baroque interior with Giambattista Tiepolo frescoes, elaborate tapestries, and Donizetti's tomb
• •Colleoni Chapel — a 15th-century Renaissance chapel with a polychrome marble facade and ceiling frescoes by Tiepolo, built as a mausoleum for condottiero Bartolomeo Colleoni
• •Funicular ride between upper and lower town — a 19th-century funicular climbing the steep hillside in 90 seconds, connecting the modern lower city to the walled medieval Città Alta

• •San Vigilio funicular — a second, smaller funicular from the upper town to an even higher castle hill with panoramic views and a quiet neighborhood
• •Via Gombito and Via Colleoni — the main streets of the upper town, lined with polenta restaurants, cheese shops, and the birthplace of commedia dell'arte
