Episode 171 - Why We Think Bologna the MOST Underrated City in Italy?

from Sunshine Travelers Podcast · host Scott and Melissa Barronton

Bologna wasn’t on our itinerary. It was supposed to be a simple stop between Morocco and Tuscany. A place to rest, reset, and move on. Instead, it became one of the most unexpectedly enjoyable cities of our entire trip. In this episode, we share what surprised us about Bologna, what we almost skipped (but shouldn’t have), and why this underrated Italian city deserves a spot on your itinerary. Some links are affiliate links. See our disclosure. In this Episode you'll discover: • What Bologna actually feels like compared to Florence and Rome • The best views in the city and why it's not where you think • A hidden canal most travelers miss • One of the most unique rooms we've ever seen in Europe • The walk and workout to San Luca • Where we ate and how we kept it simple • Practical tips for getting around and what to expect If you're planning a trip to Italy and looking for something that feels more local, less crowded, and still delivers incredible food and experiences, this episode is for you.
