"Sochmel!!" Bologna by xaver
Bologna Travel Guide: 1,029 reviews and 2,935 photos
Bologna is for sure one of the cities I love more in Italy, as it hosts one of the mosy important and old university in Italy, it's always full of life, it is definitly a great young and alive city.The centre is marvelous, full of great shops if you look for them and full of art if you want to join it.This page and its photos were taken during a vt meeting in september 2001, I was joining vt for a few months and did not know many people yet, it was the best chance to meet new friends and to revisit Bologna.
- Pros:Young, full of culture, alive
- Cons:no good for diet
- In a nutshell:Sochmel!

Ciao-we went to Croatia this year instead of lovely Italy. The Italiano influence is definitely on that side of the Adriatic, and Diocletian palace is fantastic. You did a nice job of discussing Bologna's sites.
Glad to hear that lots of people use bicycles in Bologna, and that they have good public transport and train service. When I was in Milan last year they were building a new high-speed rail line from there to Bologna. I think it must be finished by now.
lol- Bologna is no good for diet???? I have to exercise before leaving...hehehehe...nice pics and tips, Norman :)
What a beautiful city. I love the classical architecture. Hope I can visit Bologna in the future. Thanks for sharing.
Polony was a processed meat in southafrica, now i know where it originated ;-)
Good tips and photos about Bologna. Thanks for visiting my Ljubljana page.
It's a lovely city and the tower is magnificent. I only looked at it from the bottom, never climbed the 498 steps ;-/
The views from Asinello tower look like they are worth the climb up all of those steps! Beautiful photos! You've had some wonderful VT meetings!
If I only knew about the Asinello tower before going to Bologna... I missed it.... and the mermaid on Neptuno's fountain... THIS IS A COOL FOUNTAIN!!! :-)
toooortaaaa ..... mmmh ... notturna!!!!
