I passed through Bologna on my way to Florence 🇮🇹
#italytrip
I just came back from a fantastic trip to Bologna, and it quickly became one of my favorite cities in Italy! 🍝 Known as "La Grassa" (The Fat One) for its incredible food, Bologna didn’t disappoint. I spent my days wandering through its beautiful porticoes, which cover most of the city, giving it a unique charm. The Two Towers (Le Due Torri) are a must-see—climbing Asinelli Tower costs around 5 euros, and the view from the top is absolutely breathtaking! 🏙️ You can see the whole red-roofed city stretching out beneath you.
Piazza Maggiore is the heart of the city, and it’s surrounded by iconic buildings like the Basilica di San Petronio (free to enter) and the impressive Fountain of Neptune. I also couldn’t resist visiting some local markets, especially Mercato di Mezzo, where I indulged in fresh pasta and the best mortadella sandwiches.
Bologna is a perfect mix of history, architecture, and amazing food. Whether you’re a foodie or a history buff, this city has something for everyone.

A historic hotel, symbol of Bologna!
I stayed at Art Hotel Commercianti Bologna during the month of December with a friend, and honestly I cannot think of a better stay in Bologna! The location could not be better, totally unbeatable being just above Piazza Maggiore and close to everything. You can even hear the music events and the bells ringing from the Piazza.
The staff was really polite and welcoming, and the hotel itself was beautifully decorated. You can tell that it's a very historic and symbolic hotel of the city. The highlight of our stay was our room, which was spacious and comfortable, but also had an amazing large balcony with breathtaking views to Basilica di San Petronio. I totally recommend booking the option of room with balcony for your stay.
The breakfast was very rich and covered any preferences you might have, and the option to have it served it the room was really perfect for us!

Giardini M
Giardini Margherita is the most popular park in Bologna as well as the largest covering 26 hectares.
It’s quite common for the locals to meet and relax there during the weekends, or enjoy a refreshing drink/ice cream/granita during the summer.
Inaugurated in 1879 as Passeggio Regina Margherita, the park still maintains most of its original layout inspired by the English Romantic parks. While the park was being laid out, an Etruscan burial ground was discovered where the magnificent travertine grave at the side of the central lawn was found.
On the southern side of the pond there is a short open-air stretch of the ancient Savena canal (1176), one of the waterways that once characterized the city.

The Univer
The University of Bologna, called “Alma mater studiorum - Università di Bologna” or shortened in UNIBO is the oldest university in the world.
Although it existed before its creation in 1088, it is in 1088 that is was structured, hence founded, as an organised guild of students (hence studiorum), creating the modern concept of university and the first place of study to use the term universitas for the corporations of students and masters.
Still to this day, it is one of the leading academic institutions in Italy and Europe. It is one of the most prestigious Italian universities, commonly ranking in the first places of national rankings.
“Via Zamboni” has been made during the 19th century the Main Street for students as they can find many faculties and libraries but also cafes and pubs to enjoy the typical student life (movida).
Many of the buildings are worth visiting and you might find some hidden museums and treasures.
Otherwise, when in Bologna, just take a walk and stroll along the street and enjoy the vibe.

Food Haven in Bologna
No trip to Bologna is complete without tasting the famous Bolognese pasta. Known for its rich variety of food, Bologna is a paradise for any foodie!
Just beside Piazza Maggiore, there’s a lively food alley where you can buy freshly made pasta like tortellini. Lunchtime gets busy, especially on weekends, so bring a little extra patience for the wait! What you waiting for? #italy #bologna #foodie
Bologna city center 🇮🇹
#traveldiaries
I just returned from an amazing trip to Bologna, and I can’t stop raving about the city center! 🍝 The vibrant atmosphere, stunning architecture, and rich history make it a must-visit. The iconic Two Towers, Asinelli and Garisenda, dominate the skyline, and climbing up the 498 steps of Asinelli was definitely a workout, but the panoramic views were worth every step! The entrance fee was around €5.
Wandering through the narrow streets, I stumbled upon countless cafes serving the most delicious tagliatelle al ragù—I recommend trying it at Trattoria da Gianni! The Piazza Maggiore is a lively hub with beautiful fountains and historic buildings. If you have extra time, don’t miss the Basilica di San Petronio. Bologna’s city center is a delightful mix of history, food, and culture—perfect for exploring!

Bologna, dressed in stunning reds and yellow
No #italytrip is complete without seeing the city of reds and yellow #bologna. The city has a varied and long history from Romans to the Inquisition to upbuild after World War 2. From the "first University" the official birth place of Frankenstein, taking a free #walkingtour will entertain and delight the mind and senses. Of course, no visit is complete without a local meat platter enjoyed with a glass of local wine. Then head up to San Luca for an impressive glance I to the power and wealth of the Catholic church, before enjoying the sunset back in the bustling city with a Spritz.

Two Towers almost collide in Bologna
Pisa is not the only city with a leaning tower. Bologna has it’s own tower that is no less spectacular. It is marbling to look at it and immensely the question arises how do the towers not collide. You might even be fearful of walking up the stairs, but the centuries old history is proof that the mankind in an attempt to develop in architecture has withstood the time. #italy #bologna
#bologna i
#bologna is a city in central #italy and it is famous because nearby there are some speed cars manufacturers. I did not visit it because them but because the historical sights and the architecture. I really enjoyed the old style buildings and also the view from the top of the old tower of Bologna. It really worth a visit.
