Culture by day, party by night: Bologna’s narrow streets, lined with medieval and Renaissance buildings, are replete with Italy’s historic charm. When visiting one of the city’s many marketplaces, you can enjoy cappuccino and specialities from the region of Emilia Romagna while immersing yourself in the feeling of Italian life. Here, life happens outside in the evening, too: by day, people sit leisurely sipping their coffees, while by night, the little wine bars lining the university city’s streets fill with people having a good time enjoying the typical Italian flair. Once night turns back to day, the city transforms itself into a cultural centre again, with its numerous museums and monuments.

Sightseeing on your motorbike gives you a unique perspective as you take in the city centre’s many attractions. For fans of modern art, no visit would be complete without checking out the MAMbo – the Museo d’Arte Moderna di Bologna. Bologna is also a dream destination for motorsport enthusiasts: the region is home to museums and plants run by renowned motorbike manufacturers and is a fantastic area for biking.
