Rome and Bologna, two of the most beautiful and charming Italian cities

In your must-visit list, you will surely find Rome on top. Walk by the Colosseum and take a look at the Roman Forum. Walk up the beautiful Spanish steps and enter the St. Peter’s Basilica, right after flipping a coin into the Trevi’s Fountain to make sure you will come back again. Rome – also known as Caput Mundi – is more than a monumental city, in fact its cultural offer goes beyond galleries and museums. Not to mention the cooking offer, you could never leave Rome before trying either a Carbonara or a Cacio e Pepe. Very popular for its cooking tradition is also Bologna, with its tortellini, mortadella and the worldwide famous Bolognese ragout. Also known as the “City of Porticoes”, Bologna is one of the most attractive destinations of Italy thanks to its wide artistical and cultural offer. Must-dos of this beautiful city are a nice walk among the Bolognesi towers, a visit at the Archiginnasion museum and an  Italian Aperitivo right in the center of the magical Piazza Maggiore. In this vibrant and pictoresque city, it will not be difficult to find a way to spend also a fantastic night among pub, taverns, shops and squares.
