When we got to Bologna after Pisa, we tried to check into the hotel but the B&B had selective check in times. To make the most of our evening, we brought our luggage around the old town of Bologna. We went to Piazza Maggiore, which is the all pedestrian square in Bologna. The square has several large brick buildings that were similar to Siena's. We saw the Fountain of Neptune and walked the narrow streets with shops just past the square.
We bought cheese from a shop and had cheese and crackers for dinner. The most interesting part of Bologna were all of the arches that covered sidewalks on both sides of the streets. It was one arch after another for the entire city on all streets. We didn't have much time for Bologna, but we still saw the town by foot. We walked around that evening and finished our list of sights the next morning before we left on a train to Verona!
