Book flights to Bologna on CheapOair and take a fun holiday to his historic city. Ask most people to name the first Italian city that comes into their head and few will say, Bologna. That suits this city just fine.
While the tourist hordes clog up Florence, Rome and Venice, Bologna remains relatively tourist free, letting the locals enjoy one of the highest standards of living in Italy untouched. With a city centre encased within the remnants of its medieval walls, Bologna is perfect for wandering around on foot. A good way for new arrivals to get orientated with the city is to ascend the Torre degli Asinelli, one of the two towers that lean drunkenly at the foot of Via Rizzoli. The city’s famous porticoes line Bologna’s streets like sentinel guards and provide a handy shelter for window shoppers.

It is easy and often a pleasant pursuit to lose one’s bearings in the medieval streets that radiate from Piazza Maggiore in a maze of cafes, fruit markets, bars and restaurants. The local cuisine goes far beyond the world famous spaghetti bolognese with a wide range of culinary delights culled from the surrounding countryside, as well as some robust and interesting local wines. |
