Welcome to the magical city of Bologna! On this 2-hour walking tour, you will get to experience the architectural wonders of the city, which offers every style, from Gothic, to Baroque, to Renaissance to Classical. Our tour begins at the Archiginnasio Palace, which serves as the main office building for the oldest university in the world – University of Bologna. After, we will walk to Piazza Maggiore, where the Basilica of San Petronio is located.

Following this, we will head to Piazza del Nettuno, which is formed by three administrative buildings placed together. Next, we will see Palazzo del Podestà, which has become the Bargello Museum. Thirdly and lastly, we will explore Captain of the People’s palace.
