Overview of your Bologna tour:

"La grassa", or "the fat one": It is no coincidence that one of the nicknames by which Bologna is known throughout the world refers to its close relationship with food. Every alleyway of the ancient Mercato di Mezzo, which we are going to explore in this tour, is bursting with delicious food! These lively alleyways are treasure troves for anyone looking to experience the city in its traditional ways. Join me and you'll have the chance to discover the artistic beauties of the city center and, at the same time, savor the culinary delights that have made Bologna famous in the whole wide world: mortadella, tortellini, lasagne, tagliatelle and Bolognese, the most famous sauce on earth. During our tour, we will sample some local specialties in the picturesque alleys of Mercato di Mezzo, as well as discover the highlights of this amazing city. I am looking forward to sharing the flavours, odors and beauties of this marvelous city with you.
