Will be in Milan at the beginning of May and want to take a full day trip to Bologna--what is not to be missed?
You can get some ideas from the excellent Bologna Tourist Info site. Their office is in Piazza Maggiore (opposite side of the Piazza from the Basilica), very nice staff. They also organise regular walking tours. Have not done one because we tend to do our own thing but have heard good reports. http://www.bolognawelcome.com/en/ This guide has some interesting walking itineraries. One of our favourite things to do when we visit. http://www.emiliaromagnaturismo.it/en/publications/donwloads/GuidaBologna.pdf/view?searchterm=guides
Thanks a bunch for the helpful information!
