Bologna with your class
Bologna rewards the curious. Known as La Dotta (the Learned), La Rossa (the Red), and La Grassa (the Fat), the city offers students a rare combination of intellectual heritage, stunning medieval architecture, and one of the world's great food cultures. The highlight is an atmospheric guided tour of the Bagni di Mario, a hidden network of underground channels beneath the city.
