What to expect

The journey begins in the heart of Bologna, at the bustling Piazza Maggiore. Dominating the square is the grand Basilica di San Petronio, while the iconic Fountain of Neptune adds a touch of mythic charm to the scene. From there, you'll venture to the historic Archiginnasio, a place steeped in centuries of knowledge and tradition. Within its walls lies the intriguing Teatro Anatomico, where medical students once gathered to study the human body, offering a glimpse into Bologna’s rich academic history.

Next on the itinerary is the lively Quadrilatero Market. Its narrow streets are lined with stalls brimming with cheeses, cured meats, and local specialties. This sensory feast also provides an excellent opportunity to pick up some gourmet souvenirs during your free time. As you continue exploring, you'll catch sight of the iconic Due Torri. These slightly leaning medieval towers are among Bologna’s most recognisable landmarks.

The journey continues towards the complex of Santo Stefano and its seven interconnected churches. En route, you'll pass through some of Bologna’s most elegant galleries, including Galleria del Leone and Galleria Cavour. Throughout this exploration, you'll walk beneath Bologna’s famous porticos. These elegant arcades line the streets in every direction, providing shade in summer and shelter on rainy days. They are an integral part of the city’s charm and character, accompanying you as you delve into this timeless city.
