Bologna, historic capital of the Emilia-Romagna region was the first part of our Italy trip.
We came by plane and took a bus for a short ride to the heart of the city. We had just one day, so we made a plan:

First we get to Parco de Montagnola.

Where is a great place to see panorama of Bologna, just above the market.

And then to Via dell’ Indipendenza to the City Centre.

A small detour to view the Canal.


Next stop, via Rizzoli and two towers of Bologna and the Church of Santi Bartolomeo e Gaetano.


Next

Then we pointed to Piazza Maggiore and Piazza del Nettuno.
