Bologna is located in the northern part of Italy. This city of approximately 374,000 inhabitants, though small, is one of Italy’s premier cultural and commercial hubs.
The university built here in the Middle Ages is still functioning and presently caters to almost 100,000 students. It is the oldest existing university in Europe and has earned the city the title of ‘the learned one’.
Spring and early part of autumn are the best times to visit Bologna. July and August are too hot with temperatures averaging around 30°C. Winters can get bitterly cold with occasional snowfall.
The initial tourists began visiting Bologna primarily because it was a convenient stopover between Florence and Venice; however, of late, the city has been attracting tourists purely on the merit of its rich history and well-preserved architecture.
