Things To Do
Bologna is a vibrant, historic city in northern Italy known for its incredible food, medieval architecture, and lively, local feel. Often called “La Grassa” (the fat one), it’s home to classics like tagliatelle al ragù and tortellini!
It’s also the kind of place that’s best experienced without too much of a plan. Take time to wander beneath Bologna’s iconic covered walkways (portico/portici), explore the beautiful Piazza Maggiore (definitely pop into the basilica), and, if it’s open, climb the Asinelli Tower—one of the famous Due Torri—for panoramic views.
The city is also home to the University of Bologna, which gives it a fun, youthful energy.
With its walkable streets, incredible cuisine, and easy access to day trips like Florence or Modena, Bologna offers the perfect mix of culture, relaxation, and authentic Italian charm for your stay (between wedding festivities of course!)
