"Cityspots Bologna" takes you straight to the heart of party-central, a university city nicknamed 'the red' as much for its liberal political persuasions as for the rose-hued buildings of the Old Town. Great nightlife is a given thanks to the student populace, the lifeblood of all-night bars and clubs, whilst daytime is spent paying homage to history, architecture, good food and fashion (after all, this is Italy). Bologna highlights include: Le Due Torri, symbols of Bologna, offering breathtaking views - take the 498 steps to the top of the tallest tower, Torre degli Asinelli; Portico and Santuario di San Luca, a peaceful hilltop shrine reached by way of a covered walkway of 666 arches; Museo Ducati, one for bikers and aspiring bikers alike; Via d'Azeglio, via Farini and Galleria Cavour, shopping-spree heaven; the University Quarter and its main artery, via Zamboni where faculty buildings and bars occupy the city's 100,000+ students; and Out of town trips including Modena and Parma.
