Il Doge

Posted by enen 11 January 2008

Wonderful restaurant, only Italians eating there and with the best lasagna I've ever eaten [out of a lot of competition]. Good pizza too.

Via Caldarese, 5

Hotel I Portici

Posted by sertum 20 June 2007

The hotel (4 stars), located in Bologna city centre, is the wonderful result of
an accurate restoration just completed.

Every room is fully decorated with original "a fresco" decorations in liberty style. It offers congress room, fitness, restaurant. I enjoyed it a lot!

Le Due Torri (The Two Towers)

Posted by lucyd 6 February 2007

Built in the 12 and 13th centuries as status symbols by rich Bolognese merchant families, the city originally had over 100 of these towers but these are the tallest of the few which remain.

You can climb the Torre Asinelli, the taller of the two at about 100m, which has great views over the red roofs of the city and the hills beyond. The shorter Torre Garisenda, which had its top removed in the 1300s to stop it falling over, is closed to visitors as it has a more extreme lean of about 3m.

Piazza di Porta Ravegnana.
Open 9am-6pm, entrance fee €1,55.
