My husband and I are ending our European trip this Fall in (one of our favorite places) Florence, Italy. We've tentatively decided to take the train to Bologna (a place we've never visited) and stay for 3 days. Does anyone have any suggestions as to the best and safest area to stay? What would be the sites not to miss, and which ones should we skip? Travel guides list the usual places - but we are also looking for surprises as well.
I'd also be interested to know if Bologna is worth the 3 days? Thank you in advance for your response.
