Bologna in 3 Days: Queer Clubs, Saunas and Culture
This three-day solo plan splits Bologna between the city's queer institutions and its men's clubs and saunas, from the Cassero building to the Roveri district. Nights out run across all three days, with a slow start built into the first and last mornings.
