20 minutes
Palazzo del Podesta
This is one of the buildings that are in Piazza Maggiore. It was the old City Hall during the medieval times. We can also stop under the arcades, in the Tourist office, if you need more informations about Bologna and the sorroundings, and you can also take a city map for free! Inside the building there is a "Voltone", a cross vault that has really a unic feature...
20 minutes
Neptune's Fountain
This is one of the simbol of Bologna. Let's discover toghether something more about it and something curious that is on the triton he holds.
15 minutes
Basilica Di San Petronio
We will say something about this wonderful Church, The 5th Bigger Church in Europe! Currently I cannot guarantee group entry (including a small group) but I will give you information from the outside so that you can visit it later by your own.
25 minutes
Archiginnasio Di Bologna
One of the main nicknames of the city is "La Dotta", that means the wise, the learned city. Looking at the Archiginnasio Building I can explain you something more about "the oldest university in the western world" dated 1088 BC!
15 minutes
Quadrilatero
This is a squared area (quadrilatero) that is also called "medieval market" or "middle market". I think it would be better to call it the Food District of Bologna. Here we will discover something more about our rich gastronomy, talking about mortadella, prosciutto di Parma, Parmigiano Reggiano and many other regional deli! I can suggest you some nice spot to have a board of cold cuts and cheeses for the end of the tour...
30 minutes
Le Due Torri Torre degli Asinell
Under the two towers of Bologna is where we finish our half day tour, talking about the medieval time when Bologna had about 80 towers in its skyline. Some other attractions that I will introduce you here are -the Saint Stephen Complex (aso called the seven churches complex) -The Jewish Ghetto area
