Hello all!

I am going to Bologna for a weekend, from friday till monday, for the first time.I already
booked a Food full day tour for saturday, so that leaves me only friday afternoon and sunday to visit Bologna.

What can I do in Bologna on sunday? Are the atractions open, is there any market?

Thank you very much for your advice and sugestions in advance.

I would expect all the city's major attractions to be open except for shopping venues, but you should double check my suggestions:

Among the more memorable and unique sights of Bologna are the dramatic terracotta statues in the small church of Santa Maria delle Vita (near the food markets, on via Clavature). Not far from Piazza Maggiore is the historic and beautiful anatomical theatre in the Archigennasio (check that it is open).

The major museum of painting, the Pinocoteca, is one of the overlooked in Italy. It has a fine collection of both small, historic gems and eye-popping huge extravaganzas, and the modern layout is pleasant, and makes it extremely easy to enjoy the art.

There is also the well-regarded small museum dedicated solely to the artist Giorgio Morandi, born In Bologna, who painted haunting mono-chromatic still lifes

Another memorable attraction of Bologna is the portico of 666 arches that leads up a hill to a spectacularly ornate sanctuary dedicated to the "Madonna of San Luca." Health-minded Bolognese like to work off their rich cuisine by running UP all the shady stairs. It is also possible to take a bus up and walk down.
