A journey with history and incredible flavors
How will you go?
The trip to Bologna for the residents of Athens and Thessaloniki is now easier than ever, since with direct flights almost every day and in just 2 hours you will be transported to the "culinary" capital of Italy.
If you wish to travel by boat then it is more than 2 hours from the port of Ancona.
It is also connected by train to most of its neighboring big cities in Italy such as Milan, Florence, Venice.
Accommodation
You will find several hotels and rooms in and around the historic center, but if you rent or visit by car, we would suggest staying outside because parking in the historic center is difficult.
Our choice was the Suite Hotel Elite, which also had its own free parking since we had rented a car to explore the surrounding area.
What to see in Bologna?
Bologna has the largest historic center in Europe as well as the oldest university in the Western world. Pass through its gates and walk through its countless narrows painted in purple. If you want to take a guided tour, click here
Tour Piazza Maggione, Reno Canal, Piazza Santo Stefano, Asinelli Tower
If the weather permits, head for the top of the city hill where you will find the impressive church of Our Lady of San Luca with a panoramic view of the city (Santuario Madonna di San Luca.)
Food
It is the culinary capital of Italy. Specifically, it is located in the Emilia-Romagna region, where our well-known Parmesan, Parma ham, and bolognese mortadella are produced. the original Modena balsamic vinegar and of course the Lambrusco wine.
Famous for our well-known spaghetti bolognese but also for handmade tortelloni
Visit a Prosciutteria and order the wonderful platters of cheeses and meats combined with a glass of wine, you will see many Italians flocking after work.
Taste the mortadella in fresh ciapatta at the unique Mò Mortadella Lab sandwich shop.
