European Vacation 2009 - Bologna, Italy (Days 7-8)

We spent a few days in Bologna, Italy after our Venetian holiday. Bologna is a university town and not on the beat and path for American tourists. However, for these two Americans, it was definitely on the itinerary. Remember, we loved another European college town (Oxford).

It was a nice city with over 40 km of covered sidewalks (porticos) that littered the city. It was extremely hot and sunny while we were there, so the covered sidewalks were a welcomed surprise.

Some of the sights:
Churches, churches, and more churches
Piazza Maggiore
Piazza Del Nettuno
Palazzo di Re Enzo
Palazzo Communale
Basilica di San Petronio
the University
the huge flea market
quadrilateral foodie area
Le Due Torri (two towers)
A picture or two until the slideshow is posted...
