Visiting from Bangkok to Bologna
Bologna is the lively, elegant, historic capital of the Emilia-Romagna region, in northern Italy. It's a city of two intriguing halves. One side is a hardworking, tech city located in the rich Po Valley, with regal theatres, opera-goers and top restaurants. The other, is an edgy city with the world's oldest university, piazzas and fashion stores. Its Piazza Maggiore is a big plaza lined with arched colonnades, cafes and medieval and Renaissance structures such as City Hall, the Fountain of Neptune and the Basilica di San Petronio. It has a rich cuisine, so be sure to taste pasta ragu, a Bologna sandwich or drink an aperol spritz. No visit is complete without visiting the top attractions, Basilica di Santo Stefano, Torre degli Asinelli leaning tower and the Quadrilatero for its market stalls, happening cafes and gourmet delis.
