A home in Bologna, Italy within reach
Bologna’s location and the connections from Bologna Centrale make it possible to combine time in the city with other Italian stops. Use an apartment as your base, travel by train and plan your return without changing accommodation for every excursion.
Florence, Modena, Milan, Venice, Rome, Verona, Turin and Naples are the eight suggested destinations. Choose according to the time you want to spend travelling; for more distant cities, consider a longer excursion with enough time for the visit and return journey.
Bologna deserves time too. Its markets, workshops, porticoes and Emilian cooking make returning part of the experience. Alternate your trips with a cooking class, an Italian-language experience or an evening at one of the places in our guides.
