The Best of Bologna - Private Walking Tour

Bologna is a city that surprises guests with its authenticity & vibrancy. With me, you’ll discover the must-see places in Bologna and many intriguing curiosities that will allow you to fully enjoy your stay in the Red, Learned, Towered and Fat town! In this urban exploration, we'll venture into Bologna's history & art by through landmarks such as the iconic Fountain of Neptune, a 16th-century masterpiece, the iconic Two Towers: Asinelli and Garisenda, and the Archiginnasio Palace. This Palace was the first building to host the University of Bologna, the oldest university in Europe! But we'll go even further into the past, all the way back to the Middle Ages by visiting Bologna's largest church, dedicated to the city's patron saint. Since this is a walking tour, I suggest bringing a bottle of water & comfortable shoes. If you book this tour during the summer, be sure to bring a hat, sunscreen & sunglasses. If you book for winter, bringing a raincoat or small umbrella is always good in case it rains.
