24-hours in Bologna, Italy
A Photo Essay
We admit it. Twenty-four hours in the beautiful medieval city of Bologna is hardly enough to get to know the city well. Yet, we’re also happy to tell you, that when you have this limited amount of time only, you can actually get quite a good feel for the city. Just wander around the old city centre and absorb the atmosphere around you. Because that is exactly what we did, when we were in town just to catch our flight back from the TBDI (Travel Blogger Destination Italy Event) in Rimini.
Here’s our visual impression of our 24-hours visit to this charming Italian city in 24 pictures.
