Sightseeing
The main plaza of Bologna is Piazza Maggiore and there is a lot to see here including the Basilica of San Petronio.
This church was meant to be the largest church in the world, but when the Vatican caught wind of the construction, they put a halt to that.
Bologna was a city that didn't go gaga over the church like other Italian cities and the Basilica of San Petronio was a communal project as opposed to being run by the Bishops.
This Basilica isn't Bologna's main church contrary to popular belief. The actual main church of Bologna is located on the main street of dell’Indipendenza, Cattedrale di San Pietro.
It doesn't stand on a grand square like other churches in Italy. This Cathedral

This tower is old, it's leaning and while walking up it's teetering stairs, you'll definitely feel like you're on an adventure. The wooden stairs are narrow and all that separates you from a tumble below is a thin wooden railing.
