Known as one of the most distinguished university cities in Europe, the entire city is a treat. It spreads out from the magnificent Piazza di Maggiore. All roads in Bologna lead to this magnificent piazza and the two main shopping streets. You will feel transported back to the 12th century with its gothic buildings and palaces and the ruby colonnaded street fans.
As you approach the Piazza, your eyes will be drawn to the Fountain of Neptune. This baroque masterpiece was erected in 1640 and is the focal point of the city.
Bologna’s medieval streets are thronged with students, professors and locals who enjoy strolling through the colonnaded streets. This is a city as lovely as Florence but with a fraction of the tourist traffic where you can see the real Italy and get caught up in the evening ‘passeigetta’ or take a coffee break at a sidewalk table and watch the world go by.
