Bologna's culture deserves all of the attention in the world. Its philharmonic is Italy's finest, its opera world-class, and it is filled with some of Italy's finest art galleries, many of which are dedicated to works of the 20th century. If you have a taste for excitement, you'll find the contagious energy fostered by the students and young intellectuals intoxicating, especially as it reveals itself in the city's nightlife-one of Italy's most dynamic. Any trip to Bologna that didn't take advantage of its thrilling nature would be a vacation lost; yet there is another, far more simple side to Bologna that your imagination will find equally compelling. Amble to the Piazza Maggiore and join the locals in sitting on the steps of the beautiful ruins of the Basilica di San Petronio. After an extended pause, salute the provocative Neptune's Fountain and get a table at one of the Piazza's outdoor cafés. At this point you may decide on a beverage-alcohol-based or not-or espresso/cappuccino. Once you've completed your quiet sipping-session, walk through the city with no destination in mind. If you come across something of interest, check it out, delight in it, and then move on to the next adventure. And when you come across an inviting Bolognese trattoria, be sure to step inside to sample its delectable fare.
