Shereen Shabnam

During a recent visit to Emilia-Romagna, we found some extra time in Bologna, a captivating city that seamlessly blends history, culture, and gastronomy and it brought back many memories of both recent and past visits to this vibrant part of Italy.

Bologna offers travelers a captivating mix of architectural marvels, vibrant markets, and mouthwatering culinary delights. We take you on a journey through what we feel are the best places to visit in Bologna.

Piazza Maggiore

Start your exploration of Bologna at Piazza Maggiore, the city’s main square and a bustling hub of activity. Admire the magnificent Basilica di San Petronio, one of the largest churches in the world, and marvel at the intricate architecture of the Palazzo dei Banchi and Palazzo d’Accursio. The square is also home to the iconic Fountain of Neptune, a symbol of Bologna’s artistic and cultural heritage.

The Towers of Bologna

Embark on a journey to the sky by climbing the Asinelli Tower, the tallest of Bologna’s iconic leaning towers. Enjoy panoramic views of the cityscape and surrounding hills, and learn about the intriguing history behind these medieval structures. For those seeking a less crowded experience, the Garisenda Tower offers an equally enchanting ascent.

Basilica di San Domenico

Step inside the Basilica di San Domenico and immerse yourself in a world of religious devotion and artistic grandeur. Admire the stunning works of art, including the tomb of Saint Dominic, adorned with masterful sculptures and precious marble. The peaceful ambiance of this sacred site offers a serene respite from the bustling city streets.

Archiginnasio of Bologna

Experience the rich academic heritage of Bologna at the Archiginnasio, once home to the prestigious university. Marvel at the intricately decorated anatomical theater and the historic library, filled with ancient manuscripts and scholarly treasures. This magnificent building is a testament to Bologna’s intellectual prowess throughout the centuries.

Mercato di Mezzo

No visit to Bologna is complete without indulging in its culinary delights. Head to the Mercato di Mezzo, a vibrant food market filled with stalls offering fresh produce, regional delicacies, and traditional dishes. Sample local favorites like tortellini, mortadella, and tagliatelle al ragù, accompanied by a glass of local wine. Let your taste buds embark on a gastronomic journey through the flavors of Bologna.

Santo Stefano Basilica

Escape the bustling streets and find tranquility at the Santo Stefano Basilica, a complex of seven interlinked churches. Wander through the peaceful cloisters, admire the ancient architecture, and soak in the spiritual ambiance of this hidden gem. The courtyards and hidden corners offer a serene retreat for contemplation and relaxation.

Bologna’s rich history, vibrant culture, and culinary delights make it a must-visit destination for travelers seeking an authentic Italian experience. From the grandeur of Piazza Maggiore to the flavors of Mercato di Mezzo and the serenity of Santo Stefano Basilica, this enchanting city offers a wealth of treasures to explore.

Immerse yourself in the charm of Bologna, and let its architectural wonders, cultural heritage, and mouthwatering cuisine leave an indelible mark on your travel memories.

Discovering the Enchanting Brescia Region

Leave a comment

Shereen Shabnam

Nestled in the heart of northern Italy, the Brescia region offers a captivating blend of ancient history, picturesque landscapes, and culinary delights. 

My journey through this enchanting region revealed hidden gems with captivating sights from the moment I arrived at Bergamo Airport with Air Arabia.

A short drive away was L’Albereta, an exquisite resort tucked away amidst the rolling hills of Franciacorta. It was my home for two days and I felt enveloped in luxury and tranquility, surrounded by vineyards and lush greenery. 

I was immersed in the serenity of the region topped by indulging in world-class cuisine, a massage in the spa, and savoring the stunning views of the countryside in the evening.

Venturing beyond the serene ambiance of L’Albereta, the Franciacorta Village was a shopper’s paradise with a delightful selection of renowned Italian and international brands, from fashionable clothing to stylish accessories. Naturally I treated myself to some well-deserved retail therapy.

The highlight of the day was discovering the lesser-known gem of Lake Iseo. The peaceful ambiance and pristine beauty of this breathtaking lake made it a perfect retreat as we sailed across the crystal-clear waters, taking in the picturesque surroundings, and stopping at Monte Isola, the largest lake island in Europe, for a leisurely stroll.

Exploring Brixia, an archaeological Roman area, was next on the agenda. It offered a glimpse into the ancient world while wandering through the well-preserved ruins, marveling at the intricate mosaics, and envisioning life in this once-bustling Roman city. The rich cultural heritage of Brixia is sure to leave you in awe.

Being a motoring enthusiast meant visiting the Mille Miglia Museum which pays tribute to automotive excellence. Here one can delve into the legendary history of the Mille Miglia, a thousand-mile race that captivated the world, admire the meticulously restored vintage cars and learn about the race’s iconic moments.

While in Brescia, I also enjoyed a beekeeping demo at the Borgo il Mezzanino Country House, learned about the fascinating world of bees and the importance of their role in our ecosystem.

The resident chef also delighted our taste buds with the sweet rewards of the honey produced on-site and later a dinner in a magical setting, complete with natural plants, lights and wholesome food.

My last two days were spent in EALA, a hidden gem nestled in the heart of the countryside and on Lake Garda. This charming hotel offers a warm welcome, comfortable rooms, and an amazing view.

Walking from EALA to Limone sul Garda and the Limonaia del Castèl was pure magic along the lake. The picturesque town of Limone sul Garda, situated on the shores of Lake Garda has quaint streets, lined with colorful houses and charming shops in a Mediterranean atmosphere. A visit to Limonaia del Castèl, a historic lemon grove that showcases the region’s agricultural heritage is a must.

The Brescia region, with its rich history, natural beauty, and culinary delights, offers a captivating journey for travelers seeking a truly unique experience. From the moment you arrive at Bergamo airport to your explorations of ancient ruins, tranquil lakeshores, and charming towns, Brescia will leave an indelible mark on your heart.
