LOCATION
Bologna (Italy) is the capital city of Emilia-Romagna and houses
over 400,000 inhabitants. Situated on the South-Eastern side of
the Po Valley on the foothills of the Apennines, it is only one
hour by train from Florence and two hours by train from Venice.
The international airport is approximately 15 minutes (3 miles)
from the hotel by car or taxi.
Few European cities show such a contrast between picturesque
medieval times and busy modern commercial life as vividly as
Bologna. Characterised by long porticoes, mediaeval towers, XIII
- XVII century palaces, monumental churches and the warm red
colour of the brick buildings, this is interspersed with old
arcade streets lined with busy shops, modern theatres and office
buildings.
