Fountain of Neptune 🇮🇹

#italytrip I recently visited the Fountain of Neptune in Bologna, and it was an incredible experience! 🏛️ Located right in the heart of Piazza del Nettuno, this impressive Renaissance statue of Neptune dominates the square with its grandeur. The best part? It’s free to visit, and you can spend as much time as you like admiring the intricate details of the fountain, from Neptune himself to the surrounding bronze figures. Bologna is a city full of history, and the fountain sits perfectly between Piazza Maggiore and the iconic Two Towers, which are just a short walk away. After admiring Neptune, I strolled through the historic streets, stopping by the nearby Basilica di San Petronio, which is equally stunning and also free to enter. Bologna’s energy is unbeatable, and this fountain is the perfect starting point for exploring the city’s rich culture. Don’t forget to grab some local pasta afterward—unbeatable! 🍝 #trip #bologna #fountainofneptune #renaissanceart #italytravel #historicbologna

Giardini Margherita is the most popular park in Bologna as well as the largest covering 26 hectares. It’s quite common for the locals to meet and relax there during the weekends, or enjoy a refreshing drink/ice cream/granita during the summer. Inaugurated in 1879 as Passeggio Regina Margherita, the park still maintains most of its original layout inspired by the English Romantic parks. While the park was being laid out, an Etruscan burial ground was discovered where the magnificent travertine grave at the side of the central lawn was found. On the southern side of the pond there is a short open-air stretch of the ancient Savena canal (1176), one of the waterways that once characterized the city. #triplocal #instagramworthydestinations #scenicspotguide #bologna #awesomepic #urbanexplorer #triplocal

The University of Bologna, called “Alma mater studiorum - Università di Bologna” or shortened in UNIBO is the oldest university in the world. Although it existed before its creation in 1088, it is in 1088 that is was structured, hence founded, as an organised guild of students (hence studiorum), creating the modern concept of university and the first place of study to use the term universitas for the corporations of students and masters. Still to this day, it is one of the leading academic institutions in Italy and Europe. It is one of the most prestigious Italian universities, commonly ranking in the first places of national rankings. “Via Zamboni” has been made during the 19th century the Main Street for students as they can find many faculties and libraries but also cafes and pubs to enjoy the typical student life (movida). Many of the buildings are worth visiting and you might find some hidden museums and treasures. Otherwise, when in Bologna, just take a walk and stroll along the street and enjoy the vibe. #instagramworthydestinations #travelinspiration #awesomepic #uniqueexperience #university #unforgettableexperiences #bologna #urbanexplorer #scenicspotguide
