Bologna Travel Guide

Bologna OVERVIEW

Nicknamed „la rossa" for its fiery palette of terracotta reds blended with burnt oranges and afternoon sun yellows, Bologna is just as sumptuous and delectable as the cuisine it is famed for. Appreciated by both the Italians and the world for the gourmet delicacies and stunning medieval architecture of red brick palazzi, miles-long charming arcaded porticoes and Renaissance towers, the city requires much more than just a stopover. It lures with an animated cultural scene and vivacious student life fuelling the streets and countless bars with a free spirit and joyful manner. But mind you, the University, founded in 1088 AD, is the oldest, still existing education center and one known for left-wing militancy and student agitation. Whatever reason you have to come, be it the l"a cucina Bolognese" or the picture ready medieval cityscape, you will return home satisfied and with a strong determination to come back here as soon as possible.
