Private Half Day Bologna Food and Art Walking Tour

5.00(9)Bologna· Food capital · porticoesEnglish, Italian

Of all the cities in Emilia Romagna, Bologna is perhaps the most open and convivial. It’s hard not to fall in love with its porticoes, its main square and alleys dense with trattorias and restaurants. Strolling through the center with your guide, you’ll discover why Bologna has deserved recognition as a "fat" city as well as a "learned" one since the Middle Ages. You’ll see some of Bologna's most important historical buildings. You’ll discover the history and legends of the Bolognese tortellino, the versions of the broth, the variants of the filling. There will be plenty of curiosities and anecdotes about local street food, tigelle, fried crescentine, mortadella, cured meats and traditional desserts. After a delicious tasting of the finest chocolate produced by the oldest Italian chocolate house and artisanal gelato, you’ll have a clearer understanding of what has made Bologna a gastronomic capital, a motherly and welcoming city, a crossroads of excellently elaborated experiences.

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.
