We can start our tour of Bologna from Piazza Maggiore, this is a beautiful square and the main square of the city.
In this square, you will find the fountains of Nettuno and the Basilica di San Petronio, not too far from there you can walk toward the 2 leaning towers.
La Garisenda and The Tower of The Asinelli are the symbols of Bologna and they are leaning like the Tower of Pisa. You can walk the 498 steps on top of the tower of the Asinelli and have a magnificent view of the city of Bologna.
These two towers are the most famous towers in Bologna but from there you will find out that there are a lot more towers, in fact, Bologna in medieval times was full of towers like these ones.
La Montagnola is the area next to the train station, you will be able to climb on a little hill that is overlooking the city. The structure of La Montagnola is very nice and characteristic of Bologna.
The ring of the city is called by the people from Bologna “I Viali” it goes around the city of Bologna and there are 9 doors left now that go to the center, Porta Saragozza, Porta S.Felice, Porta S.Isaia, etc…
The city of Bologna is also built around canals like Amsterdam and there is a Bologna underground you can visit as well on certain days of the week. It is possible to see the canals from a secret door in Via Piella.
The Basilica of Santo Stefano in Piazza Santo Stefano is one of the nicest places in the city of Bologna, you will be impressed by the style of the square.
