Your City
You wanted: quality local food and drink & museums and culture
Food & Drink: food in this ancient city is defined by the region's slightly cooler temperatures and what was historically peasant food. Several dishes, like a certain bread salad you may know, were invented as ways to reuse old food. As for the wine, it's one of the most famous wine regions in the world - we won't go any further before we give it away
Museums & Culture: the majority of the big-name museums are located in the historical centre (you’ve probably heard of them before!). After stepping into any of these venues, you'll be surrounded by art of such magnitude you feel tiny in comparison. It's a must-see city for any culture-buff, and the footy team isn't bad either!
Expected weather: highs/lows of 12° / 3° in your month of travel

Distance to the ground: 10m taxi, 20m on a bus or a 45m walk (if you can, you'll want to - this is a beautiful city!)
Location: this hotel's in the historical centre of the city, with many of the city's sights, like the world-famous cathedral, museums and historical monuments just steps away from your door. You're also close to plenty of bars, restaurants, shops and entertainment (we'll provide recommendations in your Travel Kit!)
Your Fixture
You wanted: an atmosphere in the ground & the pre-match buzz and getting to know the locals
Head to Head: 1 home wins, 3 draws, 1 away wins
Stadium capacity: 43,000
The atmosphere: this club has a very passionate support. Mainly housed in their north curve, the ultras ensure that there's rarely a dull day at the stadium regardless of the game in question. The home team is chasing a Champions League place and the away team is fighting for survival at the bottom of the table, so it's bound to create a great atmosphere!
The locals: the simplest way to get to the stadium is to walk; it’s just over a mile from the city’s historic centre, and it's a flat and safe stroll through the streets, where closer to the stadium you’ll start to see street vendors selling food. Here, their pre-match snack of choice is a spicy sausage, or for the more adventurous a sandwich “made from the fourth and final stomach of a cow” ....
Hopefully not, but here's a photo with their all-time leading goalscorer to help you...
