About Bologna

Bologna is a historic Italian city known for its rich cuisine, medieval towers, and vibrant university life. With its charming porticoes and authentic atmosphere, it’s a perfect blend of culture and flavor.

01

General Information

Bologna is the capital of the Emilia-Romagna Region of Northern Italy and one of the largest metropolitan areas in the country. The city is best known for its prominent universities, including the world’s oldest, The University of Bologna, founded in 1088. Extensive reconstruction and restoration projects that began in the 1970s have helped maintain Bologna’s distinct cultural and historic fingerprint from the ravages of WWII and later decades of urban sprawl. The city’s architecture is noted for immense medieval towers and long porticoes.

02

Things to Do in Bologna

Bologna is host to numerous classical music festivals throughout the year, making it a favorite of theater lovers from around the world. Enjoy old-world elegance in the heart of the historic district at the Grand Hotel Majestic gia’ Baglioni. Each room is embellished with 19th century decor while retaining all modern conveniences. Located nearby gia’ Baglioni are famous tourist sites such as the Piazza Maggiore and the Due Torri, making it the perfect hub from which to enjoy the city. It also offers a fine-dining experience in Caracci, a restaurant overhung with frescos created by the Caracci School. Thanks to a large student population, Bologna enjoys terrific nightlife (or vita notturna, as it’s called in Italian), with bars and clubs across the city. Take a tour of Basilica di San Petronio, a gothic masterpiece and the seventh biggest church in Europe, or marvel at the works of Bolognese painter Giorgio Morandi and his contemporaries at the Morandi Museum. Over the years, Bologna has earned several nicknames, including:

  • La Dotta: ‘The Learned,’ for having the oldest university in the world, dating back to 1088
  • La Rossa: ‘The Red,’ for the colour of bricks found in its medieval architecture
  • La Grassa: ‘The Fat,’ for being the culinary epicenter of Italy

Bologna is also famous for its two imposing towers, Garisenda and Asinelli, which dominate the city skyline. In the middle ages, the city’s most powerful families would have these massive monuments built as a testament to their might, as well as a means of military defense. Motorcycle fans might already know this, but Bologna is home to Ducati bikes. The company is headquartered in the suburb of Borgo Panigale, where tourists can visit the factory. Day trips to both the Ferrari and Lamborghini headquarters are also within easy reach of Bologna.
