Basilica di Santo Stefano Full review
avatarpicture andrewlincoln THE BEST REVIEW
Worth A Visit : From all the churches you can visit in bologna, I think this is the most interesting one. It is not the most fancy decorated with lots of gold and religious art but the complex itself provides an interesting walk through with different parts all interconnected and build at different time periods.
The basilica of Santo Stefano encompasses a complex of religious edifices in the city of Bologna, … [..]

Langhirano Full review
avatarpicture andrewlincoln THE BEST REVIEW
Must See : We actually visited this restaurant back in May 2014 after visiting the nearby castle. The food and service were outstanding, to a point that it pretty much puts to shame any subsequent Italian dining. A great place indeed, highly recommended!

Castle of Torrechiara Full review
avatarpicture ethannorid THE BEST REVIEW
Wonderful Experience : Very nice Castle, very preserved. Most walls are still painted and some rooms contain explanations. Although we could not access the last floor and towers due to security reasons, views from other points of the castle were already stunning! Recommended.

Truly amazing: I think the original church was built over 1,000 years ago and some of its remains are still there.
