Visiting A visit to  Bologna

Last weekend I made a brief visit to Bologna, one of the main university cities of Italy. Bologna is the capital city of the Emilia-Romagna, one of the wealthiest regions of northern Italy.

When I arrived, my first sensation was that Bologna is a cosy place where one you could live and enjoying its culture and, of course, its food.

It is difficult to say where I ate the best Tortellini al Ragu, which is one of the typical dishes, I found all the food delicious, including the sandwiches with mortadella, another typical product from Bologna.

Apart from the cuisine gastronomy, another highlight that you should not miss is the Piazza Maggiore, one of the most beautiful places in Europe. The surroundings include the fountain of Neptune, the Basilica of San Petronio and the Due Torri. You can get the best views of the city if you walk the 498 steps to the top of the Asinelli tower. I absolutely recommend it.

After visiting the centre, if you want to take a long walk you can visit the Sanctuary of the Madonna di San Luca, which you can reach along through a beautiful  route way under the porticoes from Porta Saragozza, one of the gates of the old city. This route will provide great views of the city.

I would define Bologna as a great place for Erasmus students and visitors who love to take long walks into/within the ancient cities of Europe.

Great work.  Well done.
