Bologna city tour with an expert guide

There’s only one way to truly explore the sights and sounds of Bologna, and that’s on foot. This walking tour of the historic centre will give you an overview of the most important historical buildings and squares of the city, before some shopping at an authentic market and a stop for delicious artisanal ice cream.

Enjoy a walking tour around the historic centre of Bologna

You’ll meet your knowledgeable and certified guide in Neptune Square. Here, you’ll be able to admire the incredible fountain dedicated to the God of the same name. Then it’s onto Piazza Maggiore, the square at the heart of the Old Town. Bolognesi have been gathering in this square since Medieval times, and it’s lined by some very important buildings. The Basilica of San Petronio is the 6th largest church in Europe, so don’t miss your chance to discover its secrets!

Get lost in the medieval architecture of the city’s most important buildings

Not only will you enjoy the historical buildings around the main Piazza Maggiore, you’ll get to check out the world’s oldest library (there are some really hefty overdue book fines). Then, it’s into St. Stephen’s Square, where you will see the amazing Basilica. From there, you’ll be able to admire two of the finest examples of medieval architecture in the whole of Italy. The Asinelli and Garisenda Towers.
