Itinerary

1. Via dell'Indipendenza
We begin our walk in Bologna on one of the most characteristic streets by discovering a fantastic aspect of the city: its very long porticoes!
Duration: 20 mins
2. Piazza del Nettuno
Its name already evokes the allure of the sea and the power of a god. But this Bolognese square is much more than that: a true microcosm encompassing history, art, culture and even a dash of gossip!
Duration: 20 mins
3. Piazza Maggiore
We find ourselves in the renowned Piazza Maggiore, the beating heart of Bologna, the result of a long and gradual process of transformation over the centuries. This space was originally intended for people’s meetings and commercial activities, serving as a hub for the city’s social and economic life.
Duration: 30 mins
4. Basilica Di San Petronio
The majestic façade of the Basilica of San Petronio certainly does not go unnoticed, with its obvious unfinishedness that almost seems to indicate a knife slashing through it. Its history is shrouded in mystery with stories that mix reality and legend. Let's discover everything!
Duration: 20 mins
5. Mercato di Mezzo
Just a stone’s throw from the main square of the city we find one of the most representative historical places of Bolognese culinary culture.
Duration: 20 mins
6. Archiginnasio Di Bologna
A beautiful library (unfortunately not visited by tourists) but also a fantastic anatomy room and other rooms that can be visited for 3€.
Duration: 30 mins
7. Basilica - Santuario di Santo Stefano
Also known as the “Seven Churches Complex” although it is difficult to say what the true origin of this nickname is. The most credited hypothesis goes back to the initial design. Let's discover everything!
Duration: 30 mins
8. Le Tre Frecce
Bologna is full of peculiar stories and I couldn’t help but tell you the one about the three arrows! Let's talk about a famous legend of the city!
Duration: 10 mins
9. Le Due Torri Torre degli Asinell
Also known as the Two Towers although they are not the same as those used in “Lord of the Rings” (sorry for the nerdy joke but I had to make it ) are an icon of the city and a must-see for anyone who visits. Unfortunately, they cannot be visited as the facilities are not safe for tourists. It is still worth seeing them up close!
Duration: 20 mins
