Learn more about Bologna

Beneath medieval towers that lean like tipsy professors, Bologna's terracotta skyline glows amber at sunset. The Piazza Maggiore buzzes with students from the world's oldest university, debating philosophy over plates of perfect tortellini. Climb the precarious wooden stairs of Torre Asinelli for views that explain why they call this 'La Rossa.' The city unfolds beneath 40 kilometers of porticoes – now UNESCO-listed – where locals have strolled protected from rain since the Middle Ages. In the Quadrilatero market, vendors offer mortadella with the reverence others reserve for fine art. Don't miss the unfinished façade of San Petronio Basilica or Neptune's fountain, where the sea god's proportions were strategically reduced to avoid offending papal sensibilities.

"Lovely sized bedroom with compact bathroom that felt it needed some fresh interiors. Very clean but as room leads directly onto the corridor with no bathroom all hallway to mute noise you can hear everyone talking as they walk past. I enjoyed the downstairs lounges and breakfast was good enough but the city is a Foodie paradise so would skip that to explore areas around. Staff attentive and location is amazing as close to all key attractions with an amazing Gelateria a few doors down the portico. Lovely grand old school hotel that just needs a little uplift in interiors."
