BOLOGNA

Start your journey in the heart of the city, Piazza Maggiore, a large and scenic square that holds the symbols of civic and religious power. Here stands the imposing Basilica of San Petronio, the sixth-largest church in the world by volume. Inside, you can admire the world's largest sundial and an extraordinary collection of artistic masterpieces.

A few steps away, the two symbolic towers of Bologna stand tall: the Asinelli Tower and the Garisenda Tower. Climbing the Asinelli Tower is an unforgettable experience that will give you a breathtaking view of the entire city—a sea of red roofs and endless porticoes.

And speaking of porticoes, Bologna boasts over 62 kilometers of them, recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage site. Walking under these elegant arches is a unique way to explore the city, sheltered from the sun and rain, discovering historic shops, cafes, and hidden courtyards.

Bologna is a paradise for food lovers. The Quadrilatero district, the old medieval market, is the ideal place to immerse yourself in the Bolognese culinary tradition. Here you can taste typical products like mortadella, Parma ham, and local cheeses, and discover the small shops that produce fresh handmade pasta, from tortellini to tagliatelle. A food tour is a sensory experience that will make you fall in love with Bologna.

Don't miss the Mercato delle Erbe, an indoor market that combines historic fruit and vegetable stalls with modern food courts, perfect for an aperitivo or a casual dinner.

Culture and art are the common thread of Bologna. In addition to the University, the oldest in the Western world, you can explore hidden treasures like the Basilica of Santo Stefano, a complex of seven interconnected churches, known as the "Seven Churches," which will take you on a journey back in time.

For art lovers, the Pinacoteca Nazionale (National Art Gallery) houses masterpieces by artists like Giotto, Raphael, and Guido Reni.
