Bologna, Italy
Site of Europe's oldest university (founded in 1088), atmospheric Bologna is perhaps Italy's greatest, little-known treasure. Situated half way between Florence and Venice, Bologna may lack the sheer quantity of "sights" of its more famous neighbors to the north and south, but it more than makes up for it in its absence of crowds and its authentic, medieval vibe. Arcades cover nearly every sidewalk in the old part of town; 12th-century towers jut out in unexpected places (twenty-two are still standing). And oh, the food! Bologna is clearly the culinary capital of Italy, and that's saying something. During your Dr. Clue treasure hunt in Bologna, expect to visit traditional trattoria and gellateria; a mysterious book publisher; a painted archway in plain sight; a frieze to fallen soldiers, and much, much more. Bologna is quite literally another world! (Watch our 2-minute video preview to see what a typical Dr. Clue program looks and feels like!)
