Spring (April-May) and fall (September-October) offer pleasant weather and fewer crowds. Bologna, like much of Italy, is best avoided in July and August, when can be hot and crowded. With its kilometers of protective archways, Bologna is an easy city to visit even during the November and December downpours.
Yes, Bologna is a vibrant city with rich history, delicious food, and beautiful architecture, making it a worthwhile destination for travelers of all ages. Gather inspiration from our sample itineraries or let our Travel Advisors spark your imagination.
2-3 days is a good starting point to see the highlights, but you can easily spend longer if you want to delve deeper into the food scene, explore the surrounding region. The cities of Modena and Parma are all within easy reach of Bologna and offer their own unique culinary specialties and traditions.
The Food Valley is not a specific location, but rather a region in northern Italy encompassing Emilia-Romagna. This region is renowned for its rich culinary traditions and production of various high-quality food products. Major cities within the Food Valley include Bologna, Parma and Modena.
It’s famous for its world-famous Parmigiano Reggiano cheese, Prosciutto di Parma ham, balsamic vinegar of Modena, and traditional pasta varieties like tortellini and tagliatelle.
This depends on your interests and how much you want to explore. 3-5 days is a good starting point to experience the highlights, but longer stays allow for deeper exploration and off-the-beaten-path discoveries. Throughout the process your Travel Advisor will be happy to help you make key decisions.
