It is to be expected that a city with such longstanding cultural tradition like Bologna would have a grand concert hall. Located in the historical center, near a bohemian area of town, the classical building has rich interiors in its performance rooms and usually holds excellent operas and concerts. Do check in advance what is on before heading to town and plan your cultural program. One important piece of advice: buy tickets for the main hall on ground floor and avoid the upper stalls and balconies around the hall, they are old style with five small chairs, not very comfortable and extremely hot.
