Bologna
The city of porticos, Bologna sits at the in-
tersection of most rail lines in the North
thereby making it a popular city to travel
through. However, it is worth stopping to en-
joy, in particular for its imposing and unfin-
ished Duomo (in front of which films are
played throughout the summer), its “two tow-
ers” (which includes Garisenda, a tower that
leans more dramatically than the more fa-
mous tower in Pisa) and the oldest university
in Europe. For those more adventurous,
Bologna is also home to the portico of San
Luca, the world’s longest portico. Covering
nearly two and half miles uphill to the Sanctu-
ary of the Madonna of San Luca, your efforts
will be rewarded with a commanding view
over the city and surroundings.
