Parco del Cavaticcio

4.5
(14)
Bologna
Park surrounded by old buildings with a group of people sitting together.
  • While it’s easy to visit the park independently, consider going with a guide who can explain the history of Bologna’s thriving silk trade throughout the late Middle Ages and early Renaissance, which was powered by its historic waterways.
  • The park has plenty of places for lounging, including grassy areas by the water and public seating. Bring a book or a picnic if you’d like to spend longer here.
  • Be sure to bring water and sun protection if you’re visiting in the summer, when landlocked Bologna experiences an uncomfortable spike in temperatures—and humidity.
  • The park hosts cultural events such as the Bologna Jazz Festival and the Biografilm Festival, which showcases documentaries and biopics. Check the calendar to see what’s on.
