The city of Bologna is in a strategic position for making day visits to other important cities of cultural interest, like: Venice (166 km), Florence (104 km), Ravenna (80 km), Milan (222 km). Also Rimini and Riccione make fun day trips.
The best way to go there is by train. In Italy the fastest train is "Pendolino", but the EuroStar is also a good way to travel.

Ravenna

As far as history of art is concerned, Ravenna is synonymous with mosaics. The city revived this very refined technique with the creation of the International Centre for the Teaching of the Mosaic in 1966. The extraordinary mural narratives relate the city's importance for more than seven centuries and reveal where the artistic temperaments of Rome, Byzantium and Barbarians converge.
Ravenna is a museum-city in witch San Vitale, the Churchof Sant'Apollinare Nuovo and many other form together a "sumptuosus and unchanging tapestry, witch lies stretched out before us for eternity"(L.Bréhier). You can arrive by train and here you can take a yellow bicycle (ask in tourist office) offered by Commune. If you are Catholic, Sunday is a good day to visit many important churchs.

Venezia

The best way to go in Venice is train, because in this town you can move only by feet. From Bologna you arrive to "Venice S.Lucia" in 2 hours.
Il modo migliore per giungere a Venezia è il treno, in quanto in questa città si può girare solo a piedi. Da Bologna si può prendere un treno veloce che in un ora e mezzo vi porterà alla stazione "Venezia S.Lucia".

Ferrara
"Ariosto's home, Tasso's prison, an old Gothic cathedral of exceptional Beauty - these, together with a number of churches of course, are the main things to be seen in Ferrara," stated Dickens when he passed through the city in 1844.
It is a rather bald description of a city that considers itself one of the foremost exponents of the Italic Renaissance.

Milano è una delle due città d'Italia dove è presente la metropolitana, ma oltre a questa vengono molto usati autobus e, soprattutto, tram. L'auto presenta inconvenienti dovuti al traffico e ai pochi parcheggi presenti a cui si somma l'inflessibilità dei vigili.
