Description

Step into the heart of Bologna, Italy, on a private or semi-private guided walking tour through its enchanting historic center. Led by a certified local guide, you'll uncover the rich tapestry of art, history, and contemporary life that makes Bologna a must-visit destination.

Your journey begins among the medieval towers that once defined Bologna’s skyline, where your guide reveals the fascinating stories behind these iconic landmarks. Stroll through Piazza Maggiore, the vibrant hub affectionately called “the Piazza” by locals, and discover the city’s best-kept secrets and legends.
