Bologna is one of the most overlooked gems in Italy, one of the most architecturally unified in Europe - a panorama of sienna-colored buildings, marbled sidewalks, and porticos. Located at the crossroads between Venice and Florence and surrounded by hills, Bologna provides the best of several worlds; it has beautiful piazzas, churches and museums, as well as being a thriving university town, filled with cafes, bars and nightlife. The bars, cafes, and squares fill up with students, and an eclectic mix of concerts, art exhibits, and avant-garde ballet and theater performances always marks the calendar.
Visit and explore the Piazza Maggiore, Saint Petronius Church, Neptune Fountain, Santo Stefano Church, Archaeological Museum, National Gallery, Piazza del Mercato (or market square), Quadrilatero, San Luca Sanctuary, Palazzo Comunale Museum, Museum of History and so much more.
2 nights in Rimini
For those who want to explore a town steeped in sunshine and riveting energy, no matter the pace, Rimini presents itself as a place like no other. All of the charms of Italy that one can expect to find in a traditional sense are here in its historical sights, and a sense of adventure also lives here. Rimini is indeed a bright spot for travelers looking for a different Italian experience.
Visit and explore the Corso d'Augusto (the Arch of Augustus), Rimini Beach, Tempio Malatestiano (religious building), Museo della Citta (city museum), Italia in Miniatura, Tiberio Bridge, Piazza Tre Martiri, Riccione Beach, Piazza Cavour, Parco Giovanni Paolo II, Castel Sismondo, Colossal Ferris wheel, Mirabilandia Theme Park, and so much more.
2 nights in Ravenna
Located on the Adriatic midway between Venice and Florence, Ravenna is a city with a great history. It has been the capital of the Western Roman Empire, the Visigoth Empire, and the Byzantine Empire under Emperor Justinian and Empress Theodora. Today, it is best known for the Byzantine mosaic decoration of its churches and tombs that have been added to the UNESCO World Heritage List. The city itself is very charming, with many good restaurants and a lively nightlife.
Visit and discover the Dantes Tomb, Basilica of San Vitale, Basilica di Sant'Apollinare Nuovo, Mausoleo di Galla Placidia, Fontanella Piazza del Popolo, Basilica of Saint Francis and so much more.
2 nights in Ferrara
Situated on the banks of the river Po, Ferrara is a beautiful renaissance city with much of its legacy intact. Among the historic treasures are sumptuous palazzos dating from the 14th century and the narrow Medieval streets. Don't miss the great exhibitions staged at the Palazzo dei Diamanti, where the works of Dalì, Mirò, Monet, Chagall have been hosted. Other sights include the façade of cathedral, the renaissance frescos of Palazzo Schiafanoia and the stately of the Este Castle.
Visit and explore the Palazzo dei Diamanti, Cathedral of Ferrara, Este Castle, National Archaeological Museum of Ferrara, Museum of Casa Romei, and so much more.
3 nights in Venice
With sumptuous palaces and romantic waterways, Venice is straight out of an 18th-century Canaletto masterpiece. No matter how many times you have seen it in movies or TV commercials, the real thing is more surreal and dreamlike than you ever imagined. Its landmarks, the Basilica di San Marco and the Palazzo Ducale are exotic melanges of Byzantine, Gothic, and Renaissance styles. It is full of secrets, ineffably romantic, and - at times - given over entirely to pleasure. You must walk everywhere in Venice and where you cannot walk, you go by water.
Explore Piazza San Marco, stroll across the Rialto Bridge, get lost in the endless canals, admire the Basilica Santa Maria della Salute, visit the San Giorgio dei Greci, walk around the Jewish Ghetto, learn about Venice's musical history, tour Venice's unique architecture at Campo Santa Maria Formosa, celebrate one of Venice's many festivals, go window shopping, and so much more!
