Synopsis

This pocket handbook is a comprehensive close-up on Bologna, capital of Italian food.

It features area by area coverage of the city and surroundings plus excursions to Modena for Balsamic vinegar and Ferrari cars, Parma for ham, Piacenza for cheese and Ferrara for its graffito ceramics. Designed to help you make the most of any visit to the city, the guide has suggested itineraries for trips of a couple of days or longer. All sights, accommodation, restaurants and bars noted in the text are cross-referenced to the user-friendly maps. Nightlife, shopping and festivals (food festivals in particular) are also a feature of the listings section.

From the Publisher:

There is a passion for travel and discovery at Footprint that has been reflected in our publishing since the South American Handbook was first published back in 1924. More than 80 years on, our aim is still simple: to give travellers a refreshingly different view that helps them to follow their own route and have a unique, memorable experience. Over 100 current guides reflect the many ways in which people enjoy independent travel; whether exploring ancient sites, seeking an adrenalin-filled adventure or relaxing on the beach, our authors do all they can to bring our customers the very best of each destination we cover.
