Bologna

Nestled amidst the medieval cities and seaside resorts of the Emilia-Romagna region, Bologna is perhaps one of Italy’s finest undiscovered gems. Located between the Apennine Mountains and the River Po, it features one of Europe’s largest and most eye-catching medieval centers including 25 miles of arcaded porticoes, numerous beautiful churches and a large number of distinctive Renaissance towers. You can climb inside one of Bologna’s distinctive watch towers for spectacular views of umber roofs, medieval churches and pretty squares.
