The Italian city of Bologna has a rich tradition of hearty cuisine and educated inhabitants. Whilst the majority of tourists head to Rome, Venice, Florence or Naples, those looking for a more unique and authentic Italian city break opt for bountiful Bologna.
Holiday accommodation in Bologna is hugely varied, from luxury apartments with views of the famous Piazza Maggiore to townhouses within walking distance of the city centre. Heading out from the centre, a wide choice of accommodation such as holiday cottages and villas can be found in the city outskirts and the surrounding countryside of the Emilia-Romagna region. Holiday cottages with pools and enough room for all could be the perfect accommodation for your family to relax and make the most of beautiful Bologna.
Bologna: the Ultimate Culinary City Break
As the city that famously gave us ragu, parmigiano reggiano, mortadella and prosciutto di parma, most visitors arrive expecting to be well fed.
Interesting fact; it's unlikely that you will actually find a dish called 'spaghetti bolognese' in Bologna, instead you'll find the more traditional tagliatelle al ragu, which features beef with egg-based pasta and a white wine sauce. Other popular pasta dishes include tortellini in broth and green lasagne.
Indulgent desserts in Bologna include torta di riso, zuppa inglese and the surprising tagliatelle cake, however a gelato and espresso in Piazza Maggiore is also the perfect way to end the day before retiring to your Bologna accommodation.
Bologna's Best Attractions
Bologna's rich historic past has left today's visitors with plenty to see. Most of the highlights are located within the city's compact centre, and can be easily accessed from your Bologna accommodation. This includes the city's own leaning towers, Torre Garisenda and Torre degli Asinelli, and the seemingly endless Portico di San Luca.
Other highlights include the 16th century Neptune Statue in Piazza del Nettune, the enchantingly incomplete San Petronio Basilica, the Archaeological Museum and the National Gallery.
Families looking for something with added excitement should head to the Carpigianni Gelato Museum for some hands-on gelato making.
