The most interesting and beautiful tourist sites in Bologna
Photos, reviews, descriptions, and links to maps
Among the picturesque hills of the Padana Plain in the blessed Emilia-Romagna region lies Bologna, one of Italy’s most prosperous cities, the culinary capital of the country and home to Europe’s oldest university. The historic centre of Bologna is full of palaces, temples and quarters built during the Early Middle Ages and well preserved thanks to timely reconstruction.
Once the great Copernicus and Dante roamed the streets, chefs painstakingly invented new types of pasta and sauce for Lucrezia Borgia’s wedding, and the founder of the ancient Dominican Order preached to a grateful flock. History itself was made in Bologna, whose secrets have been carefully preserved here for centuries.
The alley runs from the city’s central station to the main Piazza Maggiore. Along the street are the city’s mansions with through-arched galleries. There are an incredible number of shops of different price categories, coffee shops and Italian restaurants. The street is perfect for leisurely strolls, quality shopping and exploring the city.
