Bologna is highly regarded by locals and students, especially due to its rich culinary scene which includes traditional Italian dishes like lasagna, tortellini, and mortadella. The city has a strong university presence, including one of the oldest universities in the world, which attracts a sizable international student population. Many people find the nightlife vibrant and diverse, with clubs and entertainment venues contributing significantly to the city's appeal. The cost of living is considered reasonable by European standards, especially if you're not aiming for luxury — around €1000/month for a modest lifestyle, and around $2000/month for a more comfortable one with frequent dining and socializing.
Some reviewers noted that while the historic old center is charming, areas outside of it can be less impressive. Still, for students, expats, and food lovers, Bologna offers a well-rounded lifestyle with an affordable price point. Complaints about a lack of things to do are dismissed as inaccurate by residents familiar with the city.
Overall, Bologna is viewed as a well-balanced city that successfully mixes tradition, culture, and social life, without breaking the bank.

AI-generated summary of reviews
Bologna is considered one of the best cities in Italy. The city doesn't hold any world-famous monument as it could be Pisa's tower, but has one of the oldest universities in the world (with much of it converted to a museum), is home to the best and well known meals (lasagna, mortadella, tortellini, just to mention few), is home to so many famous people that I cannot even count, has the headquarters of the gay association (with one of the nicest night clubs in the city), there are almost 16000 students at the university, 10% of which are foreigners, and the rest you can google it.
In the Pros and Cons someone said "not much to do": they are clearly living in another dimension, because Bologna is literally THE CITY of entertainment.
Also, I don't know how they came up with almost 5000$/month to live... If you don't aim for luxury, with 1000€ you can live a cheap but fair life: with 2000$ you can live a nice and happy life, going out every other day.
In few words: to the hell the data about the cities on this website, it's all bs.
