The many things to do in Bologna unfold under terracotta porticoes and across sun‑warmed piazzas, with medieval towers peering over a maze of arcades. You'll stumble upon masters rolling fresh tagliatelle, the hush of old libraries, and the clink of glasses as the day slips into aperitivo.
Stand at the centre of Piazza Maggiore and you’ve got medieval Bologna around you in 360 degrees. The vast flank of Basilica di San Petronio, the red‑brick Palazzo d’Accursio, and the arcaded edges where locals meet for an early evening chat.
