If you are spending your holiday anywhere near to the city of Bologna in the region of Emilia Romagna, you should take a day trip to explore the fascinating portico networked city of Bologna! Set to become a UNESCO World Heritage Site in the coming years, the old city centre of Bologna has over forty kilometres of porticoes criss-crossing the area. Those wishing to stay nearby for a few days can choose one of our charming holiday rentals in Monzuno, just over half an hour's drive away.

Some of Bologna's first porticos were wooden ones and were built in later centuries in the style of Gothic, Renaissance and 19th century style stone porches. Tourists walking through this unique city have certainly no need to bring an umbrella as practically everywhere you go, you have a roof over your head!
