What to expect

When in Italy, a visit to the charming city of Bologna is an absolute must. The journey begins near Piazza Maggiore, one of the city's most iconic squares. Encircled by architectural gems such as the Basilica di San Petronio, the Clock Tower, and the Fountain of Neptune, it provides an ideal starting point to delve into Bologna’s rich history. With the guidance of a local expert, you'll unearth the intriguing tales concealed within these magnificent structures.

The tour then proceeds under the renowned frescoed porticos of Bologna, a symbol of the city's distinctive allure and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. You'll also explore the Archiginnasio and the Anatomical Theater, where medical students once studied anatomy in an awe-inspiring environment that continues to captivate visitors today.

As you meander through the city, you'll discover key landmarks such as the bustling Quadrilatero Market, brimming with stalls selling traditional foods and local products. You'll gaze up at the iconic Due Torri before continuing to the atmospheric Piazza Santo Stefano, famed for its complex of seven interconnected churches. Along your journey, you’ll traverse elegant galleries like Galleria del Leone and Galleria Cavour.

Your guided exploration concludes at the entrance to the Clock Tower. From this point, you have the option to venture further independently and savour the view from above, offering a splendid opportunity to appreciate Bologna's beauty from a fresh perspective.
