Bologna is a city that absolutely must be visited, but what to see? Definitely Piazza Maggiore, one of the symbols of the city, and the Basilica of San Petronio, inside which you can visit the longest sundial in the world. Other incredible buildings not to be missed also overlook the square: Palazzo dei Banchi, Palazzo dei Notai, Palazzo d’Accursio and Palazzo del Podestà. Under the Voltone del Podestà, in the vicinity of the Palazzo Re Enzo, there is a wireless telephone that you absolutely must try: it is a special acoustic effect that will make you listen to what is being said in the opposite corner.
Adjacent to Piazza Maggiore is Piazza Nettuno, where the famous Fountain of Neptune is located, a symbol of the city that is located right at the entrance to the Palazzo di Re Enzo.
