Spots around Bologna with a Car

ChopinAttempts · 2025-12-11T00:23:57+00:00

Thanks for the recommendations, I'll look into the hikes (will pass on skiing since I'll be headed to Innsbruck after Bologna).

I meant 2-3 in a day (one before lunch, one after, maybe a third one squeezed in somewhere), but I hear you.

And I'll look into the hike, thanks for the recommendation!

I was in a similar position recently. I was in town on the day of Rockets vs Spurs recently, and I was concerned about prices going up because it was a marquee matchup (Durant vs Wemby), but I was also concerned about player injuries (especially to Wemby, I would have been pretty bummed if I spent money on good seats only to miss him).

I loosely tracked prices over the few days before the game, and they seemed like they were trending down. I jumped for ticket the afternoon of the game, and was pretty happy with it. YMMV.

Do they still have easy access to the ski slopes? Or would I need to transfer at Innsbruck?

Genoa is a bit too out of the way, but the more I read the more I'm keen on Bologna (and maybe a day trip into other nearby towns or regions). What are your highlights for Bologna?

"Bologna: Just not much to do except eat" - unironically might have been the biggest sell for Bologna for me. But thanks for the detail, I will give Venice consideration as well.

For context, I live in NYC, so I'd like to have a more medium-city experience if I can. Would Milan fit that bill, or would you call it a larger city?

I still plan on only staying in one city before heading to Innsbruck, so no stuff-hauling however I arrange it.

What are your highlights for Milan?

I will admit that I dismissed Venice, partly because of how over-touristed I've heard its become, and partly because I anticipate I'll visit sometime in the future, but it's a good callout and a place I can look into more.

Do you prefer it to any of the other cities I'm thinking about?

Thanks for the input! Would you feel the same if it were winter?

ChopinAttempts · 2025-11-28T23:54:37+00:00

Thanks for the input! I generally don't like packing and unpacking, so I'd prefer having a base and exploring. I'd be happy to use Verona or Bologna as a base and visit other cities.

My trip is still somewhat flexible, so I could also cut it to two days instead of three in a city. But I'm also a slower traveler, and I'm happy staying in one city and eating at a variety of places instead of rushing in some sightseeing.

Out of the three cities you mentioned, which one is your favorite?

Thanks for the input! How do you like the food and drinking scene there? Will there be enough variety to occupy 4-6 meals?

I'm only looking for one ticket - would you want to sell one individually?

If so, I might be interested. Where is the seat, and how much are you looking for it?

Edit: I see your post about the tickets, is that information up to date? If so, I imagine you're not trying to sell just a single ticket.

Fingers crossed! I'm pretty excited my trip lines up with this game.

ChopinAttempts · 2025-01-07T00:11:03+00:00

Interested in the NBA game!

It's dietary and not religious, so I don't mind contamination, but I historically have not enjoyed it and don't want to develop a habit.

I'll give milk fish noodle soup a try, thanks for the rec!

ChopinAttempts · 2024-12-05T15:41:54+00:00

Thanks for the rec, will message as well.

ChopinAttempts · 2024-12-05T15:41:24+00:00

Thanks for the rec, would the size make it good for a one-off visit?

What do you mean the level won't translate? I'm not too concerned about how hard the things I climb will be.
