Bologne, la généreuse 🍝🚶‍♀️

Bologne se découvre en marchant, au fil de ses portiques qui s’étirent sur des kilomètres, entre ombre et soleil. Les rues sont vivantes : des cafés, des librairies, des marchés où les locaux choisissent leurs fromages et charcuteries, et des petites places où on s’arrête juste pour écouter la ville respirer.

Le centre historique, animé par l’Université de Bologne, la plus ancienne d’Europe encore en activité, bouillonne de jeunesse et de culture : expos, cafés décontractés et librairies indépendantes se mêlent aux bâtiments médiévaux.

La Piazza Maggiore, avec la basilique San Petronio et la fontaine du Neptune, reste un point de repère, mais les vrais trésors se trouvent dans les passages discrets du Quadrilatero, où les trattorie servent des tagliatelle al ragù ou des tortellini maison comme personne d’autre. Avec ebooqueen, on met toujours un petit point d’honneur sur la nourriture : c’est souvent à travers ce qu’on mange qu’on découvre vraiment une région et ses habitants.

Lève les yeux pour voir les deux tours médiévales, et grimpe (ou prends la navette) jusqu’à San Luca pour une vue incroyable sur les toits rouges. 🌿 Pour respirer, les Giardini Margherita ou une escapade d’une heure vers Modène, Ferrare ou Parme font le bonheur des marcheurs et curieux.

Bologna is also a university town, lively but not noisy. The University of Bologna, founded in 1088, is Europe's oldest university still in operation. You can feel it in the bookshops, the independent cinemas, the little cafés a stone's throw from the faculties and the temporary exhibitions in unexpected places.

👉 Envie de vivre Bologne ? On s’occupe de ton train & hébergement pour une vraie expérience slow travel, entre ruelles, marchés et assiettes généreuses. ✨

🚆 Bologne est bien reliée par le rail : on y arrive facilement depuis Brig ou Zurich avec une correspondance à Milan.

Dopa Hostel

Just a stone's throw from the medieval towers and the market in Piazza Aldrovandi, Dopa Hostel is a small, independent hostel in the heart of the university district. Conceived as an urban cocoon, it blends modern comfort with an artisanal atmosphere and genuine attention to detail. Each piece of furniture has been custom-designed in wood or metal by local craftsmen.

When it comes to getting around, Dopa encourages soft mobility: the hostel offers bicycles for hire to explore Bologna. And thanks to its central location, you can do it all on foot: museums, markets, trattorias, lively alleyways... the city is just around the corner.

A simple, human address, well placed and full of common sense.
