    This place gives you great views of the city and is a great place to watch a sunset. You can easily get here using bus no 30 as it is the last stop. There is also a church here that you can visit at the same time.this is quite a popular spot with the locals

  • FOTIOS FOTAKIDIS

    ★★★★★2 years ago

    A beautiful and rarely frequented park, which at its top offers the most beautiful panoramic view of Bologna. In addition to a wide boulevard running through the park, which is also handicapped accessible, several more challenging trails allow unusual views of the city's parks, giving the feeling of being away from the city. You can get there after a short walk. Don't forget to wear comfortable shoes, take a good photo camera with you and some refreshments. I highly recommend it for its amazing view!!!
