The place where Spaghetti Bolognese was created. No need to say more.
Bologna strikes with the slow pace of life and the absence of tourists. The city is so small, that you can reach everywhere by foot. Soaked with history and gems of architecture on every corner.
The first thing you notice about Bologna is the arches that spun along most of the central streets. As a thriving university city in the past, they faced shortage of student accommodation. To solve the problem, they extended the facades of the already existing houses and left arc tunnels for the horse carriages to pass.

Highlights of the city are the two towers sticking out of the landscape. Once Bologna was covered with towers like these, but that's all that's left. Noble families used to build them for security, but also to show social status and prestige. For a small fee you can climb up the spiral stairs while your head spins. Once you reach the top you wouldn't believe the view.
