Bologna experiences its best time to visit from March/April until October. This period is the perfect time to do as the locals do which includes sipping on local wine in the outdoors and relaxing in city squares such as Piazza Santo Stefano and Piazza Maggiore. If you want to explore all that the city has to offer, it is probably best to avoid the months of July and August. Not only is this is an extremely hot period of the year, many shops and businesses are closed during August for their summer holidays.
