On our enchanting private walking tour through the city of Bologna we will visit numerous of interesting and off-the-beaten-path places; all of it begins in the largest square, Piazza Maggiore, located in the ancient part of Bologna. Its medieval buildings have witnessed Bologna’s vibrant public life and intense economic activity. Nowadays, history combines with the latest functional places: Sala Borsa Public Library, the Municipal offices, shops and Cafés.

A network of streets filled with porticos, which make this city unique, branches off from the square. Walking under the porticos, protected from the sun and the rain, it is possible to reach many important museums, galleries and religious buildings, which hold an unexpected patrimony of works of art.

This walking tour will obviously be visiting the Basilica of San Petronio, the two “leaning” towers of Bologna and among them, the first seat of the University of Bologna, the Archiginnasio with its unique frescoes and the Anatomic Theatre.

The evidence of its prestigious history is spread out in many places throughout the centre. On the Bologna Walking Tour you will also get the chance to explore the Quadrilatero area with its maze of small streets, and the historical market with its colours and flavours, bringing us back to the ancient times.
