Towers of Bologna 🇮🇹

#italytrip Just got back from Bologna, and one of the highlights of my trip was exploring the famous Towers of Bologna! 🏙️ The city used to have over 100 medieval towers, and while only a few remain today, they’re still an incredible sight. The most famous are the Two Towers—Torre degli Asinelli and Torre Garisenda—right in the heart of the city. For 5 euros, you can climb the Asinelli Tower’s 498 steps, and let me tell you, the view from the top is *so* worth it! Seeing Bologna’s red rooftops and the surrounding hills stretching out is simply breathtaking. The shorter, leaning Garisenda Tower adds a dramatic element to the skyline, and it’s fascinating to think of how these towers once dominated Bologna’s landscape. After the climb, I wandered over to Piazza Maggiore, where you can admire more of the city’s stunning medieval architecture. Nearby, the Basilica di San Petronio is free to visit and worth exploring. Bologna’s towers are not just historical landmarks—they’re a must for anyone who loves panoramic views and a bit of adventure! #trip #bolognatowers #leduetorri #italianhistory #breathtakingviews #medievalbologna
