See the past in loco

The starting points are Piazza Maggiore and the Neptune fountain, in the old city. Religious works are a strong feature of Bologna, like the San Petronio Basilica, the San Domenico Basilica and the Santo Stefano complex. Asinelli and Garisenda, the leaning towers, are unavoidable as well. And the art pieces of Pinacoteca, the national gallery, are an absolute must-see.

And then back to the future

Beyond the "haute couture" stores of the shopping circuit, especially in the old city, Bologna has an essential influence on the national gastronomy. You must try the ragu (bolognese sauce), the tagliatelle and the tortellini. At night, fun will go on for hours in Via Zamboni, Via Mascarella and, of course, the Piazza Maggiore.

Bologna’s Best Activities

The city comes alive:

• Start at the Piazza Maggiore, a beautiful 15th Century plaza that’s the heart of the city. Stop into a café and watch the world go by.
• For the best views in town, climb to the top of the Two Towers of Italy, the tallest leaning tower in Italy (which is not in Pisa!). Climb to the top for some of the best views of the city.
• Take a walk to the top of San Luca, under the longest portico in the world (a feature unique to Bologna), and take in the views of the city and of the Basilica of San Luca at the top.

Tips for Visiting Bologna

Explore the city's local cuisine, including tortellini, mortadella and squacquerone. The city is famed for its shopping, but plan your day accordingly - most stores close for lunch and on Sundays. Travel to Bologna with TAP Portugal and enjoy stress-free online and mobile check-in before you fly.
