Time for a walk in the park while being at Bologna? Then head to the Porta Castiglione or Porta Santo Stefano city gates. Behind them you’ll the find the largest green space of the city, created in 1879 to honor Italian queen Margherita of Savoy – yes, the one that the famous plain vanilla pizza is named after. The garden is great for doing some sports and there is also an artificially created lake with a bar next to it.
A beloved meeting point in the gardens is the cultural center Serre dei Giardini Margherita; it is a nice place to sit down and relax, but you can also get something to eat and drink. The Giardini Margherita are open all around the clock.
