The Best Bar in Bologna, Emilia–Romagna
As a university town, Bologna has long been known for its busy nightlife. By as early as 1300, it was said to have 150 taverns, and most of the city's current 200-plus pubs and bars are frequented by students and young adults—with the university area forming the hub. The pedestrian zone on Via del Pratello, lined with plenty of bars, also has a hopping nightlife scene, as does Via delle Moline, with its cutting-edge cafés and bars. A more upscale, low-key evening experience can be had at one of Bologna's many wine bars, where the food is often substantial enough to constitute dinner.
