Bologna 2

Parma - but no chicken parmas in sight!
A nice easy start to the day catching a train at 10.30 and arriving in Parma around 11 30.
Some very impressive buildings, art and sculptures as we made our way into the centro and the TIC (always first stop!).
Lunch in a lovely Cafe enjoying local meats - particularly the prosciutto crudo.
Spent a few hours wandering throught historic centre enjoying some amazing buildings ( cathedral and battistero) and streets.
Caught a train back to Bologna at 5pm, which was pretty crowded with people perhaps on their way home from work? And school kid tour groups (end of school year approaching and as is common all over, filling in time with excursions - but how fab to travel from your little town to Bologna or Parma or Verona!)
Went to a little bar near apt for aperitivo and then cheap and cheerful dinner in nearby piazza ( wasnt too impressed by the ragù bolognese so glad it was inexpensive!)
Gelati on the way home.Leggi altro
