The grand market that takes place in the Piazza VIII Agosto on Friday and Saturday is also known as The Pitch, and it is a great site to visit when on holiday in Bologna with your family.
You can access the beautiful stunning 17th century Parco della Montagnola by going through the staircase ramp entrance also known as the Pincio in Bologna which was built in the late 19th century.
The first actual garden of Bologna is the Parco della Montagnola (Giardini Pubblici Montagnola). It is located in the old town and is rather large relative to the other parks in the region.
The Parco della Montagnola first opened its doors to the public in the 17th century. It is pretty close to the center of Bologna and is in between the train and bus stations, so it is rather hard to miss!
You can see the picturesque park with its monuments from the Piazza VIII Agosto in Bologna. At the start of the weekend, there is an outstanding market held at the piazza where you can buy things like clothing, linen and fabric, crafts and more!
The food you should expect at the local trattoria in Bologna is very ordinary (do not expect gourmet food for such low prices), however extremely generous and bountiful.
The medieval town of Bologna has been well maintained and preserved over the years, which reflects its historical and architectural heritage for generations to come.
