Hi,
Can anyone recommend a cheap accomodation centrally-located in Bologna? This can be a hostel with a female dorm room or a very small single room.
Check this thing out. http://www.bed-and-breakfast.it
I just booked something so I'll be able to tell you what it's like next week but it seems like apartments being rented out on a shared basis per day.
You can find Bologna's tourist info in Piazza Maggiore, directly oposite to the cathedral and under some arches.
They have free maps and other goodies. You can also buy caps, Tshirts, books, et cetera.
Modena is an ancient town in Emilia-Romagna, 40km northwest of Bologna. It is a charming place, with lovely arched porticos and a magnificent main square.
We have now visited Modena twice and highly recommend it, even if you only have a few hours as a day trip from Bologna. Make sure you at least check out Piazza Grande and the impressive Duomo.
It is home to Balsamic Vinegar, and there are countless places where you can taste and buy this delicious product. The region surrounding Modena is home to the factories of some of the famous Italian car makers, such as Ferrari and Maserati, which gives the town its nick-name of "the capital of engines".
For more information, check out my Modena page.
This is me in train in the morning from Florence to Bologna. My aunt took this pic for me. Don't I look sleepy ? Yes ! because last night i couldn't sleep properly and we had to catch an early morning train to Bologna.
Conserving old world feel and decoration, Ristorante Diana has been an establishment in Bologna since the 1920s. It serves authentic emiliana cuisine, including tortelli, tortellini, lasagne and fritti misti al bolognese. With the white table cloth and high end service comes a slightly higher price than other restaurants in town, but nothing exorbitant. Diana is conveniently located in the centre of town on the wide thoroughfare, Via dell'Indipendenza.
[Note: Ristorante Diana is closed on Mondays.]
Though not the most magnificent (in my humble opinion), the one dedicated to San Petronio is certainly the most photographed church of the city of Bologna – Emilia Romagna’s capital. The San Petronio in question is the canonized bishop of Bologna who lived in the 5th century and is now considered to be the city’s patron saint and ultimate protector.
Started in year 1390, the church was planned to be bigger than St. Peter’s in Rome, but the project was stalled by the most common and earthly of reasons – the lack of funds necessary to proceed with the works. In fact, I immediately noticed (I read this story on my way back from Italy!) that the church had something of an unfinished look – especially in the façade.
