Bologna ratings & opinions
How our students rated their experience in Bologna
What our students said about Bologna
Interesting city with many tourist attractions. Good mix of population. Public transport: Bus connections are sometimes poor, especially at weekends. Timetables not clear. Bus stops are not displayed on the bus, difficult for non-locals.
A beautiful city where I have been on holiday several times. Sights like Momba, San Luca, the towers, various churches, the Pinacotec and the Archaeological Museum, just like the whole atmosphere, not to mention the colours of the city.
I didn't really check out the nightlife, so cant comment on this. It was really lovely to walk around even when it is raining because of the Porticos. Great public transport system and almost always on time.
Bologna is a marvellous city. Unfortunately, its importance in terms of art history and history is often unjustly forgotten alongside Venice, Florence, Rome and Naples.
Unfortunately the weather was a little abnormal (all over Europe) as it went from almost winter-temperatures to blazing hot summer-temps.
I don't need public transport and I can't rate it. The same is actually true of security.
Bologna is a beautiful, atmospheric and pleasant city. I would recommend it to everyone!
Fun and beautiful city. Didn't have enough time to visit all the beauty.
A very nice city with lots of culture and lots of things to explore.
Worth seeing; the heat is very bearable thanks to the many arcades.

Q&A - Questions about Italian courses and schools in Bologna
- Are there any cooking classes in English available?“No, all cooking classes are in Italian and can only be booked in combination with an Italian course.”Louise Granath, LanguageCourse.Net - Jul 20, 2023I would like to attend a course with my girlfriend. Is it possible to live in a shared flat in Bologna and share a double room?“Yes, there is an option and I would recommend Cultura Italiana. There you would have the chance to live as a couple in a double room with an Italian in a shared flat. The shared flats are about 20 minutes' walk from the school. ”Beatrice, Booking manager from Italy - Mar 29, 2023I would like to do Bildungsurlaub Hessen in Bologna. Can you offer me something?“At Academya Lingue, you can choose the combination course of 20 group lessons and 10 private lessons and start on any Monday.
At A.L.C.E. you can choose 30 group lessons, which makes the course a lot cheaper, but this school would prefer you to start on the first Monday of the month.
Make sure that you complete 30 lessons, because this is the only way to get recognised in Hesse. This is the case with both of the schools mentioned. ”Lisa Schiwy, LanguageCourse.Net - Mar 24, 2023I am looking for a course for my 15 years old daughter, preferably in Bologna.
