WHAT TO SEE IN BOLOGNA

The main religious part of the city is found around the ancient Piazza Maggiore and this is also the political heart of the city belongs, and can be accessed via Piazza del Nettuno where the Roman God Neptune statue stands. The Piazza Maggiore is just beautiful and is real living proof that this city had a glorious history. The area is just great for taking a scenic walk around. The Basilica di San Petronio dominates the Squares skyline with its incomplete facade which is being slowly restored.

The Jewish Ghetto has the unique labyrinthine laneways and has retained its original structure for hundreds of years and is well worth a stroll through and visit some of the craftsman’s workshops dotted around the area.
The districts of Bologna took their names from the Gate ways of the ancient city walls. There are many beautiful gardens located among the built up urban areas.

One other feature that symbolises Bologna is the hills. One can take long strolls through the hills and visit ancient villas, sanctuaries and convents. Near the top of one of the hills is the Sanctuary of the Blessed Virgin of San Luca on the della Guardia Hills which provide excellent panoramic views of the valleys.
