The “Quadrilateral” is a bustling area in Bologna’s city centre with a craft, mercantile and trading tradition dating back to the Middle Ages. You cross the tall perspective archways leaving the elegant Piazza Maggiore behind you to venture into the narrow fragrant alleyways of the ancient market of Medieval origin with the characteristic “holes”. This area boasts a long tradition of specialized handicraft and commercial activities. Shops that have often been handed down through the generations sell the same category of goods or have still kept their historic architecture and furnishings. There are also examples of modern architecture that have preserved the external and internal spaces in line with the original projects, as well as a few historic chemist shops that still maintain the atmosphere of old pharmacies.

Fontana del Nettuno

The fountain was completed in 1565. The over-life-size bronze figure of the god Neptune was completed and fixed in place around 1567.

Torre Prendiparte

Torre Prendiparte (Prendiparte Tower), also known as Coronata Tower, was built in the 12th century by the guelph Prendiparte family as a means of defence. ... Thanks to the typical "Bolognese" red and solid bricks and to the strong selenite blocks the tower looks like an impregnable medieval fortress.

Would have been great if it worked properly . Sadly the map links were wrong and therefore didn’t correspond with the clues. A real shame and both my daughter and I really enjoyed .

This was an interesting concept since I really like scavenger hunt-style games, but we found it an extremely frustrating experience due to scaffolding covering major clues, missing statues due to construction work and really poor directions. So poor that even with the extra help of a picture, we still couldn't find the actual location of one site. We got so frustrated that we stopped the game mid-way through. Found the story-line annoying and the puzzles less than clever. I liked the concept, but the execution for this particular game was less than stellar.

A fun, cheap way to see secrets of bologna. Really cool! We took some breaks in between the sights and then continued on, so it’s a perfect way to see the city in a relaxed way.

Great way to visit the city. The story part was pretty fun, and I learned a lot about the city even though I live here. It wasn't that usual textbook stuff, more like legends and stuff. Definitely recommend!

Give really interesting facts about city, eventho sometime the puzzels are abit difficults (and something it's humerous!) . Great to play with friends.

This was a really fun way to explore Bologna at our own pace. It was easy to stop and take a break to explore or get food whenever we wanted and spend as much/little time at any of the stops as we wanted. A couple of the directions were a little confusing but we got ourselves back on track without much difficulty.

My daughter and I enjoyed this Quest. We saw and learned a lot about the City. Things to improve on? The info should probably be updated on a regular basis. We lost a lot of time on the first question and again later on, because of construction that had happened to the clue that was given. Also, we walked a lot more than the 3K they said it would take :) But all in all it was a lot of fun!

lvaide

We enjoyed very much the game as an alternative way to discover the sights and find out about the history of the city and its famous people. You can stop anywhere or do it in one go, it’s very flexible to use. Looking forward to try it in other cities!
