The Locanda Cavour is located in a very central position not far from Piazza Vecchia, the symbol par excellence of Bergamo Alta, overlooked by imposing buildings arranged in a harmonious geometry. These include the Palazzo della Ragione, the oldest existing municipal seat in Lombardy, the Civic Tower known as "Il Campanone", the Contarini fountain, the Palazzo Nuovo, which today houses the Angelo Mai Library, and the Cathedral. Thanks to its location, La Locanda can be the ideal starting point for a tour of the Bergamo hills, but also for a visit to the Astino Valley, where the former Monastery stands. In 2012 it underwent an impressive renovation and was converted into a venue for events, exhibitions and initiatives related to the theme of food, wine and nutrition during EXPO 2015. Today it is recognised as an oasis of biodiversity.
