Bologna: Attractions and more...
The city has a common thread running through its construction; almost all buildings have a red roof which lends it a harmonious look. The Archaeological Museum is housed in an old hospital and has on display examples of excavations from ancient civilisations all over the world. The Piazza Maggiore, the main square of the old town, is characterised by various Renaissance-style structures around it; the most notable one being the city hall, Palazzo Comunale.
The leaning towers of the Asinelli and the Garisenda are the two still standing from the dozen that existed in the Middle Ages. Asinelli is accessible to the public and gives a panoramic view of the red roofed city from the top. The Church of Santo Stefano is a unique structure of four churches linked to each other.
While in Bologna, experience the wine tasting tours in the surrounding countryside and try the typical cuisine of the region, often called the gastronomical capital of Italy.
