Bologna is designed in such a way that allows visitors and
tourists to meet many of its main buildings, monuments, parks
and attractive areas by walking to them due to the short
distance which separates them from the city's center. This
characteristic makes bologna unique and charming as well as
allows visitors to enjoy the environment and its essence by
going from one point to another.
This Italian city’s population is of about 390.000 and is
characterized by having ancient walls which separate the central
area from the rest of the city. This city does not receive a
great amount of visitors at any particular season of the year,
but it does receive many visitors in a constant basis.
Bologna contains to main squares, the Piazza Maggiore and the
Piazza del Nettuno, located at the central area of the town.
From them, tourists can easily walk to most of the other most
interesting areas of Bologna. Both of these squares are a must
for visitors since they are not only historical but also very
beautiful. Piazza Maggiore is located at the centre of the
oldest area of the city, and is a place very interesting for
tourists to visit while being at Bologna. This square is
surrounded by some of bologna's most interesting historic
buildings, some of them dating from époques such as the
Renaissance or even the medieval times. Piazza Nettuno is
characterized by having the Fontana di Nettuno, a beautiful and
historical fountain located at its central area.
Another must place for tourists to visit while being in bologna
is its main church. This church is the Basilica di San Petronio
and is considered to be among the five largest churches of the
entire world. Another great building to visit is the University
of Bologna, the oldest university of Europe and one of the most
valued within the entire world as well.
Besides its historical buildings and spots, Bologna also offers
visitors the chance to meet many other places and enjoy several
other activities, by going to local restaurants, cafes, and pubs
for example. Although the hotel offer in bologna is very wide
and varied, it is always recommendable to book before going
since this city receives a great amount of tourists all year
around and it might be difficult to find a hotel room sometimes.
