BOLOGNA private tour: historic center, secrets and towers
The guided tour of Bologna leads visitors through the city’s hidden corners and iconic landmarks. It begins at the window on Via Piella with a unique view of the Moline Canal, then continues through the ancient Jewish Ghetto with its narrow streets and artisan shops before reaching the Two Towers: the Asinelli and the leaning Garisenda. The itinerary includes the Church of Santo Stefano, a remarkable complex known as the “Seven Churches.” The tour then moves through the arcaded historic center and features the Archiginnasio and the nearby House Museum of Lucio Dalla. It reaches Piazza Maggiore, the vibrant heart of Bologna, home to the Fountain of Neptune and medieval buildings such as the Town Hall and Palazzo del Podestà with its curious acoustic effect. Visitors also explore the Basilica of San Petronio. The experience ends in the lively center and at the Mercato di Mezzo, a historic indoor market showcasing Italian gastronomy

Where this sits in Bologna
Bologna is about 8 min by road from Bologna Marconi Airport. The food capital, and it does not have to try. Porticoes for miles, a real university city rather than a museum piece, and Modena and Parma close enough for a day out.
