Best time to travel
Bologna is attractive at any time, but spring (April-May) and autumn (September-October) offer perfect weather without the intense summer heat or winter cold.

Bologna is the capital of the Emilia-Romagna region, famous for its gastronomy (Bolognese ragù, tortellini), medieval architecture and universities. Explore the leaning towers of Asinelli and Garisenda, the Basilica of San Petronio, the arcades of the historic centre and traditional markets.
