This is the ideal tour of Bologna if you want to get to know the best of the city on a half-day walk in the historic center. You will discover the history and culture behind each building and you will also receive further information to make unique and unforgettable your stay. We will end up in the medieval market area where you can receive some suggestions for your lunch and dinner based on typical local products. The tour is carried out by a local expert and certified local guide.

I'm a freelance tour guide and often collaborate with many different organizations during the season, so my calendar may not be fully updated. For every eventuality I recommend sending me a direct message so I can respond promptly and best organize your tour.

Palazzo del Podesta
Piazza Maggiore 1, Under the Podesta' Palace, Bologna, Italy
This is one of the buildings that are in Piazza Maggiore. It was the old City Hall during the medieval times. We can also stop under the arcades, in the Tourist office, if you need more informations about Bologna and the sorroundings, and you can also take a city map for free! Inside the building there is a "Voltone", a cross vault that has really a unic feature...

Basilica Di San Petronio

25 min
Archiginnasio Di Bologna
Piazza Galvani 1, Galleria Cavour, Bologna, Italy
One of the main nicknames of the city is "La Dotta", that means the wise, the learned city. Looking at the Archiginnasio Building I can explain you something more about "the oldest university in the western world" dated 1088 BC!
15 min
Quadrilatero
Via Clavature & Via Pescherie Vecchie, Bologna, Italy
This is a squared area (quadrilatero) that is also called "medieval market" or "middle market". I think it would be better to call it the Food District of Bologna.

I can suggest you some nice spot to have a board of cold cuts and cheeses for the end of the tour...

Piazza di Porta Ravegnana, Bologna, Italy
Under the two towers of Bologna is where we finish our half day tour, talking about the medieval time when Bologna had about 80 towers in its skyline. Some other attractions that I will introduce you here are -the Saint Stephen Complex (aso called the seven churches complex) -The Jewish Ghetto area
