Bologna City Center: Guided Walking Tour
About this experience
Explore Bologna’s picturesque piazzas and beautiful buildings during this 2-hour tour. From the Two Towers which lean over the city, to the tantalizing smells and historic shops of the historic Quadrilatero market.
The tour starts from Piazza del Nettuno, where you can admire the symbolic centerpiece of Bologna, the Fountain of Neptune. Continuing through Piazza Maggiore, get ready to discover the imposing architecture of Basilica of San Petronio, home to one of the world’s largest sundials. Your next stop is the Archiginnasio of Bologna, one of the city’s most important buildings which dates back to the 16th century. Before the tour ends, there’s time for one more piazza! Enjoy views of more historic basilicas from Piazza Santo Stefano.
