Flights from Eindhoven to Bologna

Top travel tips for Bologna

Between Florence and Milan lies the lovely city of Bologna, a city full of history and culture that is still largely undiscovered by most. Bologna is the proud owner of many nicknames. It is called 'La Rossa' due to its iconic red roofs and buildings. Climb the famous medieval towers, the Torre Garisenda and the Torre degli Asinelli, and enjoy breathtaking views of the city. Bologna is also known as 'La Grassa' (the fat one), and for good reason. The city is the birthplace of delicious dishes such as tagliatelle, tortellini, mortadella, lasagna, and of course the famous bolognese sauce, or ragù alla bolognese.
