In this guide you'll find more than just places to visit (although there are more than 160 of them!); you will find a love letter to the city that I've been proud to call home for more than 8 years now. I wrote this guide thinking of how I usually show Bologna to friends who come to visit: hoping that they will fall in love with this city the same way I did all those years ago. And they always do, much to my joy!

The itinerary you'll find in this guide was designed so that you have the flexibility to tweak and twist it the way you want, adjusting it to your rhythm. You can follow it step-by-step or take it as a general guideline, finding numerous amazing stories and legends that this city is full of! Besides, you can find all of my handpicked recommendations, from small, family-owned bakeries to traditional restaurants, from veg-friendly places to incredible delis.

So grab this guide and start discovering this city and be prepared to fall irrevocably in love!
