Time Machine: Tower and Power/Medieval Bologna
About this experience
The guidebooks will tell you that Bologna's historic center has been wonderfully maintained. But of the 100 towers that were built, only 22 survive. With this experience, be transported back to the Middle Ages and see it all for yourself.
Put on your VR headset and wander the alleys and courtyards of Bologna's past. See butchers and bakers going about their day, stop in at a tavern, admire the architecture, and even fly among the many towers that dominated the skyline of the day.
Everything you see has been carefully recreated using historical research, from the layout of the towers and buildings to the clothing worn by the people.

HMBotel notes for choosing your ticket
Compare the inclusions above with your plans: admission, a guided visit and a combination ticket may cover different services. The venue name alone is not enough to compare them.
Check the meeting point and arrival instructions before adding another activity. The displayed duration describes the activity; plan travel from your hotel and your return separately.
Booking and payment take place with Tiqets. On that final page, confirm the date, participants, visit language, final price and cancellation rules; an indicative HMBotel price is not a guarantee of availability.
