Bologna, Emilia Romagna. Apartment, near the airport
Welcome to Bologna!
In order to offer our guests a real ‘home from home’, we furnished our guesthouse by thinking how we would feel if we were abroad on business or on holiday.
You are three minutes walk from Piazza Maggiore and the most significant historic monuments in town...Well connected to the Fiera Exibition Center (15 minutes by bus or tram) after a long working day you deserve a relaxing dinner in a typical restaurant or simply a stroll under our unforgettable Portici... Never heard of them? The urban layout of Bologna is characterized by long rows of arcades, varying in form and size, which are one of the town’s unique characteristics. They create fantastic light and shade patterns and offer spectacular perspective views. You can walk the through the history of our town under its 35 km of arcades, from wooden ones belonging to medieval houses to the severe and pointed archways of the 14th and 15th centuries, from the spacious arches of the Renaissance and the Baroque periods to the humble and narrow arches in poor quarters. Bologna has a fascinating gallery of unique architectural features and therefore can be justifiably called one of the world's most scenic towns.

Until the late 19th century, when a large-scale urban reconstruction project was undertaken, Bologna remained one of the best-preserved Medieval cities in Europe, though to this day it remains unique in its historic value. Despite having suffered considerable bombing damage in 1944, Bologna's historic centre, Europe's 2nd largest (after Venice), contains a wealth of Medieval, Renaissance, and Baroque artistic monuments of primary importance.
Bologna developed as an Etruscan, then Roman colony along the Via Emilia, the street that still runs straight through the city under the changing names of Strada Maggiore, Rizzoli, Ugo Bassi, and San Felice. Due to its Roman heritage, the most central streets of Bologna, today largely pedestrianized, follow the grid pattern of the Roman settlement.
The original Roman ramparts were supplanted by a high medieval system of fortifications, remains of which are still visible, and finally by a third and final set of ramparts built in the 13th century, of which numerous sections survive. Over twenty medieval defensive towers, some of them leaning precariously, remain from the over two hundred that were constructed in the era preceding the security guaranteed by unified civic government.
Bologna is home to numerous important churches. An incomplete list include:
the basilica of San Petronio, one of the biggest in the World
San Pietro Cathedral
Santo Stefano basilica and sanctuary
San Domenico basilica and sanctuary
San Francesco basilica
Santa Maria dei Servi basilica
San Giacomo Maggiore basilica
Beata Vergine di San Luca basilica and sanctuary, on Colle della Guardia
San Michele in Bosco
San Paolo the Great, basilica
The cityscape is further enriched by elegant and extensive arcades (or porticos), for which the city is famous. In total, there are some 38 kilometres of arcades in the city's historical center[1] (over 45 km in the cityproper), which make it possible to walk for long distances sheltered from rain, snow, or hot summer sun. The Portico of San Luca, the longest in the World (3,5 km, 666 arcades) connects Porta Saragozza (one of the twelve Gates of the ancient Walls built in the Middle-Age which rounded the city on 7,5 km) with San Luca Sanctuary, on Colle della Guardia, over the city (289 m/o.l.s.).
The Sanctuary of the Madonna di San Luca is a very notable site, located just outside the main city on the Colle della Guardia (Guard Hill). Built in the 11th century and much enlarged in 14th and 18th centuries. The interior contains works of different masters but probably the most important is the painting of the Madonna with Child attributed to Luke the Evangelist. The best way to visit this Sanctuary is by foot as you can walk under the portico mentioned above.
