30 Best Places To Visit In Italy For A Perfect Trip

Bologna

Bologna isn’t usually the first thing that pops into mind when foreign travelers think of places to visit in Italy.  While it’s well-known among Italians, foreign visitors don’t come to Bologna very often. But, make no mistake about it – this city is drenched in beauty, culture and history. In fact, most Italians consider it second to Venice, in terms of beauty. Plus, it has one of the best-preserved and largest historic centers among the cities in Italy. It has striking architecture known for its palette of warm yellows, burnt oranges and terracotta reds.  Not to mention, it has an internationally celebrated cuisine – la cucina Bolognese – and home to the oldest university in the West.
