Airport travel guide
A historic and sophisticated city, Bologna is one of the gems of northern Italy. Home to Europe’s oldest university, distinct architecture, an active cultural life, and according to some, the best cuisine in the country, it has something for every visitor to enjoy. Here are three of its very best attractions:
- Bologna Cathedral. Dominating its skyline, Bologna’s Cathedral — or Metropolitan Cathedral of Saint Peter — is the most famous building in the city. Construction of the cathedral first started in the 10th century; it was later rebuilt numerous times until assuming its present form eight centuries later. A splendid example of Baroque architecture, the church is as impressive from the outside as it is from the inside.
- Archaeological Civic Museum. One of the most interesting museums in the city, it is the right place to learn about the ancient cultures that used to inhabit present-day Italy and the rest of the Mediterranean region. From Iron Age artefacts to Etruscan weapons, Roman vases, and Egyptian mummies, the museum has a truly rich collection of exhibits.
- International Museum and Library of Music. Another unique museum, it is the right place for classical music lovers. First opened in the 17th century and significantly developed over the years, the museum features portraits, musical instruments, and original scores, as well stories of such world-famous composers as Mozart, Vivaldi, Rossini, and Bach.

We picked up the car in Bologna and drove around Tuscany for several days. A car is definitely recommended. Best spots to visit included Cortona, Greve in Chianti. Eventually dropped the car at Venice airport because it was not needed to visit the city. The drop off was chaotic but Nogliarre have their drop off on a lower floor of the car park which was much quieter and in the shade! Venice was an incredible place to visit. Recommend taxi the river shuttle from the airport with Alilaguna.

For those travelling to Bologna or the surrounding area, I recommend renting a car to discover the wonders of Tuscany. You can stay in incredible, inexpensive places just 15 minutes from the city centre. In Bologna, on the other hand, you have to pay for parking, but if you look carefully you'll find cheaper places. I recommend hiring a car if you want to get around.
