A CHANCE TO VISIT BOLOGNA

Piazza Maggiore, Torre degli Asinelli, tortellini... it's just a sample of what is waiting for you in Bologna. The city also feature a vast choice of restaurants, bars and pubs, with a nightlife among Italy's (and Europe's) most alternative and interesting.

The city has an international airport and is therefore easy and relatively cheap to reach both with flag and low-cost airlines. High speed trains also allow quick connection with Italy and Europe.

Take advantage of IPW to visit Bologna!
