Recommended departure on Sunday, October 18
Bologna has a walkable city centre and, in general, very good public transportation. Most of our activities will take place in the city centre, while others will be in areas that are easily accessible by bus.
To comfortably participate in the activities planned during the trip, I recommend choosing accommodation within the designated area shown on the map. This will make travelling easier and help ensure a pleasant experience for everyone.
You are free to choose the accommodation that suits you best, though staying within the specified area is strongly recommended.
The key is to make the most of this experience with the group.
If you have any questions about the accommodation you are planning to book, feel free to reach out. Different areas may suit different preferences: some participants may prefer a central location within walking distance of most activities, while others might choose a quieter residential area and don’t mind a longer commute by bus, especially given Bologna’s good public transport.
I’ll be happy to help you find the option that best fits your needs.
The cost of the full immersion is £890 (around €1020 if paying directly in Euros).
