Bologna is a very beautiful city, but it may be dangerous if you are travelling alone, expecially if you are a woman. My girl friends living and studying in Bologna never go out alone at night, they always move in a group of three or four of them. Even if you are in downtown there might be dangerous men staring at you. Don't go to Giardini Margherita alone when it is dark, many girls have been raped, also foreign tourists. So pay attention.
During the day, no problem, but beware of bag-snatcher, expecially in the University area.

 Just a bit malcontented
ourselves by craic
Anyway, we must have relaxed, and on our way back to the station down the main drag, I got a little behind Matthew.
Then he stopped. I looked up and he was surrounded by two gypsy woman, one with a baby, and a little boy. They were obviously targeting him.
I gave him a good push in the back, gave them the evil eye look, and shouted - Move on. Don't stop.
He had stopped to give them a few coins out of his pocket and one of them had grabbed his hand.
Then a few minutes later he said - They did get something.
My heart stopped cold. We had to fly out of Rome the next day. Had they got his passport? What had they got?
Well luckily they had just got the coins out of his pocket - which he had kindly shown them were there by taking a few out.
She wasn't grabbing your hand because she liked you! - I said.
We felt a bit ... thing ... so close to the station we saw a seedy cafe and sat down and ordered a coffee apiece.
Second rip off. Over 6 euro for 2 coffees.
And we had stopped up the road at a really nice cafe and got 2 coffees and water for 4 euro.
We were starting to be a bit off Bologna.
Then Matt needed to use the WC at the station - 70 cents another rip off - but as he approached the turnstile a gent coming out held the gate back and waved Matt through for free with a big smile and cheerful Bolognese greetings.
So we started to like Bologna again. Leave a Comment

The point is, her baby was somhow attached to her body and he used that baby in order to keep my attention away from that hand. To tell you the truth, she was very skillfull and had very quick and strong hands. I was lucky coz, being sportsman my hands are still very quick and strong too.
Never trust beggars who hold babies in their arm. Leave a Comment

 quanto e la multa? by SapineKuu

The Bologna-supporters are normally very peaceful, but sometimes some parts of the crowd might be looking for some incidents. In the beginning of 04/05 there were a group of Bologna-supporters who started a fight on an awaygame in Livorno, but in 99 per cent of the games there are no risk for fights.
As always in Italy, if you aren’t used to stay in the home-curva, you shouldn’t go there. It’s always hard to know where to stay and not to stay, but if you really have to go there, make sure you stay at one of the flanks, as far away from the center as possible. Leave a Comment

The portici are covered sidewalks who protect strollers from both inclement weather ...In Bologna there are more than 40 km of porticoes and here there are also the most longer in the world, the San Luca Porticoes.
It really great, but walking i saw that the most they have the paving ruined and the presence of holes that can provoke falls and unpleasant unforeseen.
I saw a woman just in front of me who fall down...ahi ahi!!... Leave a Comment

Avoid the underground pedestrian walkways around the Piazza Maggiore. While I was here, someone was robbed and stabbed as they walked through an underpass. Leave a Comment

Bologna is a quite and relatively safe city, but as in other big cities, pay attention in isolated street, some non-EU could try to steal or ask money/camera ect. Leave a Comment Phone: 113 police
