From the center of the city, reaches the Sanctuary of San Luca, a traditional destination for religious pilgrimages linked to the devotion of the image of the Blessed Virgin. The route offers the opportunity to learn about the Bolognese arcades, candidates for UNESCO World Heritage. The arcade that connects Porta Saragozza to the Sanctuary of the Madonna di San Luca is the longest in the world with its 3.5 km. Consisting of 666 arches, each marked by a progressive number: the first 306 connect Porta Saragozza to the Arco del Meloncello while the last 360 are those located in the hilly stretch from Meloncello to Colle della Guardia. The latter are interspersed with 15 chapels that illustrate the mystery of the rosary. It is possible to reach the Basilica on foot or by express train that leaves from Piazza Maggiore in Bologna.

VINTAGE - The Trattoria Da Me restaurant, located in the historic center of Bologna, naturally under one of the many arcades that adorn the capital, offers a truly fascinating shabby chic atmosphere. INFORMALE - The restaurant is cozy and you can feel at ease both when you want to have lunch or dinner in company and when you decide for a tete-a-tete. TRADITION AND INNOVATION - The kitchen offers delicious Emilian recipes, however it does not fail to introduce some innovation to make them even more tasty. Great attention is paid to the quality of the ingredients, which are always fresh and follow the seasonality. The meat instead comes from non-intensive farms.

The Mercato di Mezzo is one of the most representative historical places of the Bolognese food culture, a stone's throw from Piazza Maggiore: since the Middle Ages this has been the place of tastes and encounter, commerce, memory and gastronomic tradition of the city . Transformed, after the Unification of Italy, in the first covered market of the city, it was the object in 2014 of an important recovery and redevelopment project. The structure is divided into three floors, and is a space where to buy or consume food and wine products and excellent dishes. On the ground floor there are large and small tables in common use and food kiosks, placed in the side niches as in the nineteenth-century plan: meat, fish, salami, cheese, fruit, bread, pasta, ice cream and pastry, wines. On the first floor is the pizzeria and in the basement, with striking barrel vaults, a craft brewery, both with additional tables and chairs. On Via Clavature, next to the entrance to the Church of Santa Maria della Vita, it also offers pleasant tables and outdoor chairs. The Mercato di Mezzo is open seven days a week, from 8.30 until midnight, and often offers tasting appointments and meetings related to the culture of food.

They have practically only pizza, but it's really very good. The pizzas arrive in almost intimidating dimensions, in the sense that they are very large, but being thin, they are not too heavy or practically.

Typical neighborhoods

Enjoy a walk in the district full of small roads and suspended steps from the house to the roof, deck covered, buildings with small doors and windows. Until you arrive to the two Towers of Bologna. Even enjoy a shopping tour among the wonderful creations of these artisans, between shoes, dresses, jewelry and paitings. Finish the day with a coffee or an aperitif sitted in one of the locals you will find in this most interesting area of Bologna.
