Bologna, dressed in stunning reds and yellow

No #italytrip is complete without seeing the city of reds and yellow #bologna. The city has a varied and long history from Romans to the Inquisition to upbuild after World War 2. From the "first University" the official birth place of Frankenstein, taking a free #walkingtour will entertain and delight the mind and senses. Of course, no visit is complete without a local meat platter enjoyed with a glass of local wine. Then head up to San Luca for an impressive glance I to the power and wealth of the Catholic church, before enjoying the sunset back in the bustling city with a Spritz. #daytrip #spritz

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
