Overview

This two-hour walking tour covers Bologna’s city center, focusing on its main cultural landmarks. The route includes a 20-minute visit inside the Basilica of San Petronio, followed by a 10-minute stop at Piazza Santo Stefano. Next, the tour reaches the Quadrilatero, the historic market area, where participants spend about 20 minutes exploring the shops. An external visit to the Two Towers (Torre degli Asinelli) lasts around 10 minutes. For those who select the option that includes the Archiginnasio, the visit to this palace’s courtyard is scheduled separately in the afternoon, either at 14:10 or 17:00, depending on availability and participant preference. The walking tour itself departs in the morning. A certified guide leads the group throughout the tour. Participants should wear clothing that covers shoulders and knees to enter the Basilica. The tour may be conducted in both Italian and English on certain days. Archiginnasio access is not available on Sundays.
