The capital of the Emilia-Romagna region, Bologna bubbles with both history and gastronomy. Home to the world’s oldest university (the 11th-century University of Bologna), it’s also considered to be the Italy’s food capital. Its cuisine (cucina Bolognese) is famous worldwide. Bologna’s city center, one of Europe’s largest and best preserved, is famed for its beautiful porticos - there are over 20 miles in the city center alone - and its magnificent Piazza Maggiore pedestrian square.
