Bologna: The historic centre is considered one of the best preserved and maintained in Italy. One of the first things you notice is how every street is lined with arcades, the "Portici". The city claims 70 km of "Portici", including the single 4 km. one that climbs up to San Luca, more than any other city in the world. It is not easy to fully and synthetically illustrate everything visitors to Bologna can discover in the city, so we hope that this will encourage you to try to discover the charms of our city. In his novel "Across the River and into the trees", one of Hernest Hemingway' s characters says that Bologna is the only city where you can eat wonderfully well. Indeed, Bologna, is not just a city whose ancient stones and culinary culture, it is also a land to be "experienced" in the midst of he people, festival and traditions.

Fontana del Nettuno- A masterpiece by Gianbologna, born in Douay in 1566.

Basilica San Petronio- It is a one of the largest churches in the world and was build by Antonio di Vincenzo between the XIV/XVII centuries. A bas-relief by Iacopo dalle Quercia is placed above the main portal. The interior contains paintings by Giovanni da Modena, Jacopo di Paolo, Lorenzo Costa, Amico Aspertini and other; of note, the sundial on the floor by Domenico Cassini(1655).

Music- While operas are performed at the Teatro Comunale from December to May. Other classical music venues are at the Basilica di Santa Maria dei Servi and the Accademia Filarmonica. Also in July and August dance performance are presented in the Piazza Maggiore. No visitors should leave Bologna without drinking in one of the city's traditional "osterie" with live music and nearly always stay open late.

Enogastronomy- Bologna "La Grassa - The Fat". Bolognese cuisine, with its strong identity has a lot to offer in bevy of great restaurants. We do love our restaurants. You might find it hard to walk into a good one in the city centre and get a table without reservation. Here you can taste our original product, that are consecrated by the DOP and IGP. To take full advantage of this heritage and make sure it's fully exploited, the "Food and wine routes" (gourmet@aptservizi.com) have been created. Eleven routes spread for over 1000 km across the entire region and involving local institutions.
