Last week, we traveled to Bologna, where the main objective was to do a day trip to San Marino from the nearby city of Rimini. Nevertheless, we had enough time to explore the beautiful city of Bologna. It is not like Rome or Florence but it has it´s own interesting places you can visit, plus you can enjoy the famous pasta with Bolognese sauce. In case you are traveling to Bologna, here are some of my travel tips, and as always feel free to comment on the section below to share your own travel tips.
