Learn more about Bologna

Beneath medieval towers that lean like tipsy professors, Bologna's terracotta skyline glows amber at sunset. The Piazza Maggiore buzzes with students from the world's oldest university, debating philosophy over plates of perfect tortellini. Climb the precarious wooden stairs of Torre Asinelli for views that explain why they call this 'La Rossa.' The city unfolds beneath 40 kilometers of porticoes – now UNESCO-listed – where locals have strolled protected from rain since the Middle Ages. In the Quadrilatero market, vendors offer mortadella with the reverence others reserve for fine art. Don't miss the unfinished façade of San Petronio Basilica or Neptune's fountain, where the sea god's proportions were strategically reduced to avoid offending papal sensibilities.

Savhotel Fiera Bologna

10/10 Excellent
"The hotel is a business hotel but has a small gym area and a rooftop jacuzzi. The rooms are a good size with super-comfortable beds. Meals are served in an in-house restaurant. They are competitively priced. There are a range of dishes on the menu. I recommend booking because the restaurant can get crowded. There is an underground car park for a (reasonable) fee. The hotel is a 15 minute walk from the station and about 25 minutes to the city centre. A bit too far to carry heavy bags but there are plenty of taxis. The area around the hotel is quiet and safe even at night."
