City
Bologna
Italy’s richest ‘secret’, Bologna, is often overlooked in favour of Florence, yet it remains one of our favourite cities. It is full of character and has gravity-defying towers, 23 miles of colonnaded arcades, Europe’s oldest university, rich art and wonderful food. Our Kirker Guide Notes will help you discover some outstanding restaurants where you can sample the famous sauce. The beautiful Teatro Communale, considered by many to be the best house in Italy, produces operas at the highest international levels – the Kirker Concierge will be able to acquire tickets for you.
