bologna is not just food

#hellohalloween Bologna city break! 🎨🍝 Local vibes, gorgeous galleries, winding medieval streets, and outrageously good pasta are just a few reasons you’ll fall hard for Italy’s food capital. Staying central sets you up to roll out of bed and just get lost — that’s the trick here! Top Spots to Visit: – Attico di Via d'Azeglio (Via d'Azeglio, 51): Spotlessly clean hotel with modern perks (hello, coffee machine!) plus super-friendly staff who’ll drop all the good local tips via WhatsApp. Easy walk to Piazza Maggiore. – Metropolitan Cathedral of Saint Peter (Via dell'Indipendenza, 7): Historic wow-factor with epic ceilings. Open every day—peek in early before the crowds for a quiet vibe. – Beautiful Gallery (P.za XX Settembre, 6): Small, inspiring art space with changing exhibitions. Closed Mon–Tue, open Wed–Fri afternoons & weekends all day. – Osteria della Lanterna (Via Savenella 9/A): Classic Bolognese dishes—tortellini in brodo, tagliatelle al ragù—don’t miss it for authentic taste in a chill local stop. – Pasta Fresca Naldi (Via del Pratello 71/A): Takeaway pasta legend—try the tortellini with sausage or ragu! Super affordable, perfect pitstop after gallery hopping. Pro tips: – Walk everywhere: Bologna’s core is compact and packed with gorgeous streets, porticos, and food spots. Seriously, toss the map and just wander — surprise discoveries guaranteed. – Local hacks: Hotel has an elevator (lifesaver with luggage). Ask staff for local restaurant recs. Most places welcome card payments. – Weather: Pack a light jacket for evening breezes. Street life pops off around sunset! Getting Around: – Public transit works, but walking is best. – If arriving by train, everything’s within 10–20 mins on foot. Food tip: Try ragu, tortellini in brodo, or with sausage anywhere you see locals eating. #BolognaEats #ItalyTrip #ArtWalks #HiddenGems #tripdotcom
