Bologna Hotels - getting to and from and around once there
Bologna is a historical city, with around 380,000 inhabitants. Although it is known and loved by all Italians, it is less well known among foreign visitors. It is the capital and largest city of Emilia-Romagna (a region in northern Italy).
Bologna is a gorgeous Northern Italian city, famed for the oldest university in the Western world, lively student population, exquisite food, typical brick terracotta-roofed architecture and porticos, theatre and nightlife. It is a must see!
Bologna is famous for its cuisine (la cucina Bolognese). It is also viewed as a progressive and well administered city.
It is considered second only to Venice in beauty by many Italians and certainly has one of the largest and best preserved historic centres among Italian cities. It is much loved for its architecture, especially its palette of terracotta reds, burnt oranges, and warm yellows, hence the name of Bologna la rossa (Bologna the red). The extensive town center, characterized by miles upon miles of attractive covered walkways known as “porticos”, is one of the best-preserved in Europe.
Bologna is at its best from March/April to October, when it is warm and there is much outdoor sipping and dining, or just sitting in squares such as Piazza Santo Stefano and Piazza Maggiore. However, during July and August it may be particularly hot. In August, as is the case in much of Italy in the summer, many shops and restaurants are closed for the summer vacation.
Winter can be cold, but Bologna is beautiful the two weeks before Christmas. January and February often feature cloudless blue skies, but the clear weather is often the coldest: you will need a coat, scarf, hat and gloves.
Bologna Hotels - things to do and attractions
Bologna is the seat of the oldest university in Europe, which dates from the 11th century, and a significant portion of its population consists of away-from-home university students. In common with other Italian university towns, it is in parts marred by excessive graffiti on its beautiful historicPalazzi though the new mayor (elected June 2009) has an ambitious plan for cleaning up.
The Bolognese are very courteous and welcoming, and justly proud of their city, but communication in English is not always easy and a few phrases in Italian will come in handy.
Bologna is a lived-in, stress free, and prosperous North Italian city, noted by locals for the fact that it has not been ruined by mass international tourism though Italian tourists flock here during the main holidays. In recent years, though, the city has grown more popular with overseas travelers.
It is an excellent destination for a few days’ stopover between Milan or Venice and Florence, especially if you like good food!
