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.

"The hotel was great - really close to the train station so perfect if you’re travelling around. Some areas of the hotel are a little more worn down than other Social Hubs I’ve been to but the staff were great and the rooms really clean. Most of the sun loungers were broken but it looked like they may have been being replaced as we left. Also one thing to note is that the sun lounger area around the pool is only in the sun for a few hours in the morning but the pool itself is still in the sun throughout the day. Would definitely recommend!"
