Centro Borgo

Just outside the city, you can find Centro Borgo, the commercial centre of Bologna. It opened in 1989 and offers, except for shopping, free parking, restaurants and events. Here you can buy everything from fashion, accessories to jewellery and electronic.

Shopping

Italian fashion and food should be the key themes for Bologna’s visitors. There is a reason Italy is one of the main fashion nations, and browsing the windows in Galleria Cavour, just ten minutes on foot from Piazza Maggiore, will make you see why. Here you can find Armani and other main Italian brands, such as Gucci, La Perla underwear and La Maison Bulgari jewelleries. Other fashion shops are located all around the centre of Bologna, mostly in Via Farini, Via Ugo Bassi, Via Indipendenza and under the Portico del Pavaglione. For food, try Tamburini and the most famous Bolognese delicatessen. Here you can feast over an impressive variety of salted pork meat, cheese, pasta and wine. Another nice shop is Atti (bakery and fresh pasta) at Via Drapperie, 6.
