It boasts the second largest historical center in Europe, containing medieval churches, and the world's oldest university.

The streets of the city frequently open up into beautiful plazas, which are a common gathering place for Bologna's residents.

The best view of the city can be gained from the top of the Asinelli Tower, which is nearly 320 feet high.

Besides all the sights, Bologna is home to some of the best Italian cuisine in all of Italy and is famous for its restaurants.
