Bologna is like a huge open-air museum! The historic centre features many attractions, such as the Palazzo Pepoli and Basilica de San Petronio, the city's largest church.

Dozens of picturesque streets fan out from the lively Piazza Maggiore. No matter what the weather is like, the striking arched walkways protect you from the sun or the rain. And for world-class artwork visit the Pinacoteca Nazionale. Bologna is the ideal destination for a weekend holiday, or as the starting point for a longer vacation in Italy.

Arts & Culture

Ever since the Middle Ages, a great number of tall stone towers have defined the skyline of Bologna. Two of these impressive structures immediately catch the eye: the 97-metre-high Tower of Asinelli and its little brother, Garisenda, at only 47 metres. These ‘Due Torri’ are leaning dangerously towards one another and are a famous landmark in Bologna.

Arts & Culture

The people of Bologna have been gathering on the Piazza Maggiore for centuries. This large square in the heart of the city is surrounded by beautiful medieval buildings like the Palazzo del Podestà, Pallazo d’Accursio and, of course, the giant Basilica of San Petronio with its unfinished grey façade.
