Wherever you are in Bologna, look up toward the hills.
San Luca is probably looking back at you 👀
Maybe that’s why the city keeps climbing up to it. You’ll share the arches with runners at dawn and families on Sunday mornings. Step after step the hills open up on your side and Bologna gets smaller below you.
If you’re walking it too, these are our pit stops:
🏞️ Villa Spada sits on Via Saragozza, just before the climb. Its upper meadow puts the whole historic center at your feet.
☕️ Bar Billi is right under the Meloncello arch and has barely changed since 1953. Get a cappuccino and a cornetto before the steps, or a spritz on your way back down.
🍝 Once you’re down, waits by the arch with tagliatelle al ragù. If tigelle are more your thing, makes them by hand on your way back to the center.
