Activity itinerary

Bologna (Pass by)

Bologna is a city that boasts a rich history behind it. It was in fact as early as the 9th century BC. C. that the presence of a city was confirmed through excavations undertaken during the 19th century.

Biblioteca Comunale dell'Archiginnasio (Pass by)

Bologna, the Red, the Grass, but above all, the Scholar! Here you are in front of one of the symbols of a city that has attracted throughout its history the greatest intellectuals of the time.

Palazzo d'Accursio (Pass by)

This beautiful building, which stretches across the whole width of the square, is the Accursio Palace, in which the City Inn is located.

Neptune's Fountain (Pass by)

Located in the square of the same name, the fountain of Neptune was built in the 16th century by two Italian architects, Bartolomeo Ammannati and Tommaso Laureti, and the statue that overlooks it was designed at the same time by the sculptor Jean de Bologna

Palazzo Re Enzo (Pass by)

On your right are both the Podestat Palace and the Re Enzo Palace. In fact, it was in the 1200s that the Podestat Palace was built, the very first palace to house the city’s magistrates, before giving way to the Accursio Palace from the 14th century.

Piazza del Galdo-Sant'Angelo (Pass by)

The design of this project accelerated with the designation of the city of Bologna as European Capital of Culture in 2000.

Metropolitan Cathedral of Saint Peter (Pass by)

You've arrived in front of the Cathedral of San Pietro, or St. Peter's in French. Before beginning the description of this imposing building and its history, I strongly recommend you to enter the interior, it is undoubtedly one of the most beautiful cathedrals in Italy.

Portici di Bologna (Pass by)

If there is one thing you can’t miss walking around Bologna, apart from its monuments, it is the many arcades that make up the streets of the city centre.

Bologna (Pass by)

Did you know that part of Bologna was nicknamed Little Venice? Because yes, they are much less visible than in Venice, you noticed, but the canals are present in Bologna!

Canale delle Moline (Pass by)

Approach the wall on your right: if you see a few people gathered here, that’s normal! You have a nice glimpse of the Canal delle Moline which, from this small window placed in Via Piella, has become a popular photo spot for visitors!

Basilica di San Martino (Pass by)

Here you are standing in front of a church built during the 13th century. At the time, it did not display the same architecture: its façade was redesigned in the Gothic style in 1879 by the architect Modonesi.

Alma Mater Studiorum - Università di Bologna (Pass by)

Bologna boasts of being the city that hosted the first university in the Western world and one of the largest in Europe! With more than 100,000 students from all over Italy and the world, it deserves its important reputation.

Pinacoteca Nazionale di Bologna (Pass by)

On your left is the National Pinacoteca of Bologna. A pinacoteca is simply a museum of paintings, and this one is one of the main museums of the city.

Museo di Palazzo Poggi (Pass by)

On this lively street, part of the University of Bologna, you have on your left an imposing building that runs almost all the way along.

Bologna Municipal Theater (Pass by)

Here you are in the Giuseppe Verdi square, named after one of the world’s greatest opera composers, and you face the communal theatre, coloured with a bright pink and supported by 13 columns.

Chiesa di San Giacomo Maggiore (Pass by)

This church, which translates into French gives the church of Saint-Jacques-le-Majeur, was built between 1267 and 1315 in a Romanesque style, first of all, as evidenced by its gabled facade.

Chiesa dei Santi Bartolomeo e Gaetano (Pass by)

Only a few metres from the two iconic towers is the elegant church of Saint Bartolomé and Saint Gaétan. Characterised by a beautiful Renaissance style, it was built from 1516 in place of an old church that had been there since the 5th century.

Two Towers (Pass by)

Come on, another place in Bologna that really deserves a look! Meet here with the two towers of Bologna, which are among the great symbols of the city! Because yes, Bologna is a city that had, in the Middle Ages, more than a hundred towers, of which about twenty are still standing today.

Strada Maggiore (Pass by)

Here you are in a street that has more than 2,000 years of history! The Strada Maggiore already existed in the Roman period since it was part of the Emilia Way, or Via Aemilia after its real name, a way built from -187 BC. C. to connect the current cities of Piacenza and Rimini, passing through Fidenza, Parma, Modena or Bologna.

Casa Isolani (Pass by)

Here you are in front of the entrance to Corte Isolani, marked by one of the oldest houses in Bologna! To discover it, you have to look up and follow the beams that appear in front of you to notice this small house that comes straight from the 13th century.

Piazza di Porta Santo Stefano (Pass by)

A place that changes and is just as essential as the others! Admire these beautiful buildings that surround it: behind you, where you come from, it is the palazzo Isolani that imposes its imposing Romanesque-Gothic architecture.

Piazza della Mercanzia (Pass by)

On this square you can see the soaring Palazzo della Mercanzia. It was in 1391 that it was born, all brick and pietra of Istria, limestone rock that strongly resembles marble.
