Part 4/9:
No trip to Bologna would be complete without a visit to The Two Towers—Asinelli and Garisenda. Once, Bologna boasted nearly 200 towers; today, only about 20 remain standing. Asinelli, the taller of the two, offers breathtaking views from the top, but be prepared for a strenuous climb up its challenging wooden stairs. Those who brave the ascent will be rewarded with panoramic vistas that cover the city and its iconic rooftops.
The remarkable story behind the leaning Garisenda Tower is just as captivating, having tilted for over 600 years. Visitors will find that this lesser-known leaning tower rivals even the famous Leaning Tower of Pisa, providing a unique opportunity to enjoy a less crowded experience.
