Bologna & Adriatic Riviera Experience

Bologna is a vibrant and youthful city, packed full of both fascinating history and modern, high-tech allure. The capital of the Emilia-Romagna region, Bologna can be perfectly summed up by its many nicknames. ‘La Grassa’, meaning the fat one, celebrates Bologna’s rich food culture. ‘La Dotta’ meaning the learned one, which refers to the areas university, believed to be one of the world’s oldest and La Rossa, meaning the red one, referring to the terracotta medieval buildings that populate the area. There is plenty for visitors to discover here on their two night stay, from wonderful food to beautiful and historical architecture, Bologna will not disappoint.

Now you have time to relax and unwind in the sunshine and by the sandy beach in the wonderful resort of Cattolica. Its golden beach is a huge attraction but if you can manage to tear yourself away from the allure, there are plenty of things to see and do here. Located just 14km south of its busier and better-known counterpart, Rimini, Cattolica provides a sheltered beach that is popular with watersport lovers and sun worshippers alike.

The quaint town is filled with restaurants and markets and is a wonderful place to wander and relax while taking in the laid back atmosphere and there is also a wonderful seafront promenade to stroll lazily along, exploring the kiosks and shops and perhaps stopping for an ice-cream.
