Why we love this city

From the world’s oldest university, through many kilometres of porticoes, to many more kilos of pasta and local delicacies, Italy’s most low-profile city is an overwhelmingly fun surprise start for your campervan road trip.

If you’ve been a student your diet will have most likely, at some point, consisted solely of pasta. If you’re starting out as a student, prepare to stock up on the chewy (if cooked perfectly al dente, that is) staple that comes in the form of strings, cushions, and bow ties. After all, students and pasta go together like campervans and open roads. Especially if you’re studying at the world’s oldest university. Because Bologna serves its students some of the tastiest pastas Italy has to offer: tagliatelle al ragù, tortellini, and lasagne alla Bolognese. Students used to a more extravagantly-filled dinner table get by in Bologna, too, the Emilia-Romagna region being renowned for its quality products: truffles and wild mushrooms, mortadella and a whole range of salumi, and let’s not forget parmigiano-reggiano! The Bolognesi knack for excellence isn’t limited to food, either, because the region’s capital is the historical heart of Italian supercars! But since a Maserati is no home on wheels, and you wouldn’t get much sleep in a Lamborghini, hire a campervan in Bologna to explore one of Italy’s most stunning medieval cities––and its most comforting cuisine!
