City Breaks & Weekend Breaks in Bologna

About Bologna

For a gastronomic city break, Bologna, fondly known as La Grassa (the fat), is a must. The only problem you are likely to have here is dividing your time between the sights and the table.

Take a weekend break to Bologna and tempt your taste buds by sampling the famous Bolognese sauce. Bologna is also renowned for its tortellini and tagliatelle, reputedly invented for the wedding of Lucrezia Borgia.

There is also much to see on your city break to Bologna, including Europe's oldest university, a superb Gothic cathedral, medieval churches and two leaning towers.

However, in the arcaded streets and piazzas you will find plenty to tempt you from the sightseeing path - restaurants, cafés and bars galore, plus a crowd of inviting shops, not to mention the opera, theatre and nightspots, for those seeking lively city breaks.

Bologna has a great selection of hotels, so choose your perfect one and book online with Citalia.
