Bologna, anche nota come “La Rossa” per i suoi tradizionali tetti in terracotta, è una città ricca di storia, cultura e una vivace vita notturna. Anche se spesso ignorata dagli itinerari turistici a favore di città come Roma o Firenze, Bologna rimane un gioiello nascosto che merita di essere scoperto.
Bologna è caratterizzata da numerose torri medievali che dominano il panorama cittadino. Le più famose sono senza dubbio le Torri degli Asinelli e Garisenda, simbolo distintivo di Bologna, offrono viste panoramiche sulla città, se avete il coraggio di scalare gli oltre 500 gradini.
Bologna's arcades are another unique aspect of the city. With around 40 km of covered arcades, ideal for strolling, they are a perfect refuge from the summer sun and winter rain.
Piazza Maggiore is the nerve centre of Bologna. Here you can visit the magnificent Basilica of San Petronio, one of the largest churches in the world. At its side is the grandiose Neptune Fountain, a symbol of power and fertility. Also be sure to visit the Palazzo Comunale and its magnificent frescoed rooms, as well as the Palazzo dei Notai, a reminder of when Bologna was one of the most important legal centres in medieval Europe.
Although often overlooked by tourists, Bologna's Jewish Quarter is one of the city's most fascinating and historically rich places. Its winding, narrow streets are a monument to the Jewish cultural flowering of the past, tragically interrupted during the Inquisition. Today, the district has developed into a lively centre of trendy cafés, traditional restaurants and craft shops.
Bologna is known the world over for its excellent cuisine and for being the birthplace of egg pasta, including the famous lasagne. The Mercato delle Erbe, the heart of the city's food business, is the perfect place to immerse yourself in Bologna's culinary tradition.
Bologna is home to the University of Bologna, the oldest university in the western world. This long academic tradition has shaped the atmosphere and identity of the city. You cannot miss a visit to the archaeological Palazzo Poggi, which housed the university during the Renaissance, and the Teatro Anatomico, where anatomy classes were once held.

Bologna è una città che stupisce con la sua autenticità e il suo ritmo vivace. Un luogo dove il passato e il presente si incontrano e dove arte, cultura e divertimento si fondono creando un’esperienza unica per ogni visitatore. Bologna è davvero una città che merita di essere scoperta, per le sue bellezze nascoste, i suoi luoghi storici e le sue prelibatezze culinarie.
