Bologna

In the morning, meet your guide at Milan Central Station and reach Bologna after just a 1-hour train journey. Once in Bologna the best thing you can do in the centre of the Old Town is to put on your most comfortable walking shoes and traverse the narrow streets. Once in Bologna, your guide shows you the heart of the city, home to The Porticos of Bologna, Bologna Piazza Maggiore, Two Towers (Due Torri), and the Bologna University Quarter. Bologna is a medieval city, with so much hidden beneath it and within the walls of the beautiful buildings. Bologna is a place where doing some research ahead of your visit will expose so much more than if you just read the popular guides or winged it. On one side of Piazza Maggiore sits the imposing building of the Salaborsa Library. Previously the city’s economic lifeblood, today it houses an incredible library. As one of the key meeting points in Bologna, its multi-stories are always abuzz with people.
