Bologna is the capital city of northern Italy's Emilia-Romagna region. Famous for its architecture, culture, and cuisine, it's an attractive holiday destination in its own right, as well as a welcoming stopping point for travellers touring Italy by train.

Places to visit in Bologna include the oldest university in Western Europe, the National Gallery, and the two leaning Towers of Bologna at Le Due Torri. The tallest of two towers is open to the public. A climb up its 498 steps will take you to the top, where you'll be rewarded with a panoramic view of the city's terracotta rooftops and its surrounding area.

Bologna is proud of its gastronomical heritage. In fact, one of Bologna's nicknames is La Grassa, the fat one. It's well worth sampling many of the delicious local specialities. In addition to bolognese sauce, this region also brought us tortellini. A popular legend relates how a cross-eyed innkeeper from Bologna was once visited by the goddess Venus, and because he was so taken by her navel, he created tortellini in an attempt to duplicate it.

Renting a car for your stay in Bologna gives you the freedom to tour the city and visit other nearby regions, such as Maranello, the home of Ferrari, as well as the World Heritage town of Ferrara.
