No such thing as spag bol there mate :-)I hear they do a nice pork and beef ragu there, can't think of the name of it here.
Hi mate, been on my to do list since I saw Rick Stein spend a weekend there a few years ago.. Love people watching with a glass or two of vino, it looks like a great place, just been looking on line at that anatomical museum, looks fascinating... Thanks for your reply, useful info this...Beautiful city.
Wander round the old town.
Piazza Maggiore is a great place to have a coffee and people watch.
SAN Petronio church.
Archiginnasio, houses the anatomical theatre of the university. The only place in the world where dissection was not a capital crime for centuries.
The local buses are a great way of getting round
Bologna has two leaning towers, asinelli and garisenda. You can go up both for views.
Been to Bologna a few times, it has a thriving night life, mainly students as has the oldest university in the world there.Off to Bologna tomorrow for a few days, alas I will be missing the semi so will need some advice on football friendly pubs and any other general advice and Info from you globe trotting Blues.... Back for Spuds next Tuesday thank fook :-)
Thanks in advance
Do your own research you lazy hobbitIf I was going away at the weekend I'd have done my own research before booking it.
Height of laziness.
Btw...I'm in the middle of the New Forest from tomorrow, anyone know of a pub that will have it on?

Got a few restaurants in my little book as I like ravioli and most other pasta stuff, my main aim not to set foot in an irish bar, nothing against em but I like to stay around the local scene of the places I visit, missus death is the same and she's half Irish. :-)Been to Bologna a few times, it has a thriving night life, mainly students as has the oldest university in the world there.
I recommend the market, some good quality Italian clothes and shoes at a fraction of shop prices. I love tortellini and Bologna is where it comes from. There are some really good restaurants in Bologna that serve this, one restaurants in particular was the best I've ever had but I can't remember the name, sorry. The 11th century tower of Torre Asinelli is worth visiting and will burn the pasta and gelato calories when you ascend the steps to the top of the tower.
My sister lives in Ferrara which is about 30 miles North-East of Bologna and worth a day out to. I recommend the local Cappellecci which is pureed pumpkin ravioli covered in beef ragu sauce with grated parmesan and is absolutely delicious.
