Hi folks,
Will be heading to Bologna next week which i'm looking forward to. Haven't really seen much of Italy before. Bologna looks well placed for trips to other cities - we will probably just head to one though as want to make the most of Bologna.
We are thinking of Venice - its somewhere i've always seen, and might not be too unbearably busy in February (although i've read its packed all year). I've also read its worth booking the train ticket in advance - is that true? I've only ever booked international journeys in advance before, and never felt the need for local trips in Europe before.
Also, is it worth going to a different city rather than Venice?
With Bologna, are there any decent bus routes to try out? I know there are trolleybus routes, which I will probably head to.
Also, any interesting transport infrastructure to look out for? Transport museums?
And perhaps some local rail journeys which are recommended. Also, good places to see old rolling stock?
Thanks in advance!
