Travel Photos – Bologna, Italy

Travel Photos, , View all 2 comments

I have not been able to do any substantive work on posts this week but thought I would share some photos from Bologna, Italy.  It is not one of my favorites that I have visited but it was unique.  I enjoyed the town, but given the choice I probably would not return. Enjoy!

San Petronio Basilica in the center of town. (As you can see it was undergoing renovations when we were there – April 2011)

The famous two towers of Bologna, Italy. (Also under renovation)

Looking down the street away from the two towers in Bologna.

The Piazza Maggiore outside of the Basilica in Bologna.

Side street off of Piazza Maggiore in Bologna. (There was a fabulous restaurant on this street but unfortunately I cannot remember the name)

The famous portico’s of Bologna.

I apologize for the lack of content this week, I have been busy with other items.  I hope to complete my first city guide next week. (Hint: It is hosting the Summer Olympics in 2012)  Hope you enjoyed this installment.

Travel Photos – Cittadella, Italy

The next installment in my travel photo series comes from a small Italian town that is not listed in any guidebook.  It is truly one of my favorite towns in Italy and is definitely worth an overnight if you are near Venice and looking for a town that offers old world charm.  Please enjoy the pictures of Cittadella, Italy.

The first picture is of the exterior wall the surrounds the old core of the town. Such an impressive site to garner zero mentions in any travel guides.

Another view of the exterior walls, with approaching storm clouds in the background.

The next photo comes from the central piazza of Cittadella.

Around the corner from the central piazza is a wonderful Osteria.

The next three photos are of my personal recommendation for accommodations in Cittadella. Hotel Due Mori.  The prices are reasonable (85 Euros including breakfast) and the rooms are clean and nice.

I hope you enjoyed these photos!  I will try and cover more Italian towns throughout the coming week.
