Bologna is the capital of Emilia-Romagna, a region located in northern Italy most known for the amazing food and beautiful architecture. Commonly overlooked for Florence, Rome and Venice…this beautiful city is quieter and merely a 30-minute train ride from Florence or 2-hours from Rome. Bologna is still a bustling medieval college town today and is commonly referred to as La Rossa meaning “The Red”, referring to the terracotta buildings of its past. While all of Italy has fantastic food, this region is the greatest when it comes to food production, thus another popular Bologna nicknamed is La Grassa or “The Fat One.” If you google tours in Bologna, unlike other cities in Italy, this one doesn’t give an overwhelming number of tours related to history but rather all different food tour options.
