Bologna Holidays

Full of character, terracotta medieval buildings and miles of UNESCO World Heritage listed porticoes (covered walkways) Bologna is one of Italy’s most beautiful cities.

Bologna has arguably one of the best-preserved historic centres in Italy, with impressive towers, piazzas and miles of porticoes. Wander through these covered walkways which line the streets, many with incredibly intricate detailing as you explore the city. It is a city renowned for its rich cuisine and is often regarded as the culinary capital of Italy.

Today Bologna boasts traditional recipes, innovative street food and wonderful local markets. The narrow streets and alleys adjacent to Piazza Maggiore are the perfect place to discover the range of tasty dishes on offer. In addition to being well recognised for producing tagliatelle al ragù Bolognese, other unique dishes originating in the city include tortellini in brodo and lasagna verde, both sumptuous pasta dishes definitely worth sampling.
