Tour of Bologna's Historic Center: Discover "La Grassa," "La Dotta," and "La Rossa"

Bologna, the capital of the Emilia-Romagna region in Italy, is a city rich in history, culture, and gastronomy. Known as "La Grassa" (The Fat) for its delicious cuisine, "La Dotta" (The Learned) for the presence of one of the oldest universities in the world, and "La Rossa" (The Red) for its terracotta buildings and vibrant hue of its structures, Bologna is a destination that charms visitors. Get ready for a journey that will explore the wonders of this fascinating city!

  • We will start our tour in the heart of the city, Piazza Maggiore. This is the meeting point for the people of Bologna and the center of cultural events. Admire the imposing Basilica of San Petronio, one of the largest churches in the world and a magnificent example of Gothic architecture. Don't forget to look at the famous sundial that marks time on the facade!
  • From the square, we will continue down Via dell'Indipendenza, the city's main shopping street. Here, you will find a mix of famous brand stores and local boutiques, as well as narrow medieval streets of the Quadrilatero, full of colorful markets, charming shops, and tempting aromas.
  • We will then journey to the iconic Towers of Bologna, the city's symbols. The Torre degli Asinelli, over 97 meters high, offers a spectacular view after a climb of 498 steps. The panoramic view of the city, with its red roofs, is breathtaking and a great photo opportunity. (The visit is possible for a fee and only when the Tower reopens)
  • Bologna is a city that combines history, culture, and gastronomy in a unique way. With its charming red buildings, irresistible flavors, and rich academic heritage, it's no wonder many visitors fall in love with this place. Come and discover Bologna and immerse yourself in its treasures. It's an experience you definitely won't want to miss.
  • At 2:45 pm we will board a vehicle to the countryside of Bologna to a family-owned historic winery where we will learn about the production and philosophy, with wine tasting and a light lunch (Grandmother's Tigele with a charcuterie board) overlooking the vineyards (alternatively, it will be indoors (winter or rain). At the end of the experience, we will take you back to Bologna with an estimated return between 5:30 pm and 6:00 pm.
