Tour of Bologna between art and history
Step by step, guided tour to discover the city and its churches
The Middle Ages that revives again with record breaking features: the kilometers of porticoes and the oldest University in the Western world. There is nothing better to get to know Bologna than visiting it by walking. Start from Piazza Porta Ravegnana under the Two Towers, the symbol of the city, and move together with an expert guide through the maze of ancient alleys. Reach Piazza Maggiore, the "large square" of the singers, with the statue of the God Neptune. And then the visit to the Basilica of San Petronio, patron saint of Bologna, with the longest sundial in the world and the Chapel of the Magi inside. Afterwards, immerse yourself in the market, with a savory tasting of typical products in a historic shop. In the early afternoon, visit the Church of Santa Maria della Vita with its "Lamentation of the Dead Christ" by Niccolò dell'Arca and the abbey complex of the seven churches of Santo Stefano. Ending with the courtyard of the Palazzo dell'Archiginnasio, the university headquarters of Bologna "la Dotta". An experience where every detail is beauty.
