A slow day in Gromo

Overview
Gromo was built on silver and iron and still looks it: a castle, a square with a fountain, workshops behind heavy doors.
Walk the old streets in the morning, sit in the square with a coffee, then take the path down to the river before lunch.
Why we love it
Because it is a real village, not a museum. The bar is full of people who live here.
Basecamp tip
The square is at its best between 17:00 and 19:00, when the village comes out for an aperitivo and nobody is in a rush to serve you.
Good to know
- Most shops close between 12:30 and 15:30.
- The castle courtyard is open to walk through.
What to bring
- Comfortable shoes for cobbles
- Cash for the bakery
If the weather changes
Rain suits Gromo. Take the covered lanes and a long lunch.
