Our tour begins in the bustling heart of Bologna, Piazza Maggiore. Here, the magnificent Basilica di San Petronio dominates the square with its grandeur, while the unique fountain of Neptune adds a touch of mythology to the scene.

From Piazza Maggiore, we make our way to the historic Archiginnasio, a treasure trove of centuries-old secrets and stories. Inside its ancient halls, we will enter inside the fascinating Teatro Anatomico, where medical students once gathered to learn about the intricacies of the human body. It’s a glimpse into the city’s rich past and a testament to its enduring spirit of learning.

As we continue our exploration, we will arrive at the Quadrilatero Market, characterized by the vibrant atmosphere. Here, amidst the maze of narrow streets and bustling stalls, you’ll see lots of shops selling delicious cheeses, meats, and more. It’s a feast for the senses and you can’t miss the opportunity to buy some local delicacies during your free time in Bologna.

No visit to Bologna would be complete without a glimpse of its iconic skyline dominated by the majestic Due Torri. Leaning slightly but standing tall with pride, these ancient towers offer a glimpse into the city’s medieval past.

We will then continue our tour reaching Santo Stefano and its seven churches, passing inside many famous Gallery such as Galleria del Leone, Galleria Cavour…

Throughout our tour, you’ll walk under the elegant porticos that line the streets. They’re everywhere in Bologna, keeping us dry when it rains and shady when it’s sunny.
