Beach near Bologna, Italy

Bologna Travel Guide

Italy

Bologna is a city of 814,332 people in northern Italy and the capital of the Emilia-Romagna region. It sits inland, rather than on the coast, making it a practical base for exploring this part of the country.

Most international visitors arrive through Guglielmo Marconi Airport (BLQ), the airport serving Bologna. There are no notable named beaches within 40 kilometres of the city, so seaside trips require travelling beyond the immediate area.
