Itinerary
Start by exploring Piazza Maggiore, Bologna's main square, which is lined with impressive medieval and Renaissance buildings.
Visit the iconic Basilica di San Petronio on the square. It's free to enter and boasts an impressive façade and beautiful interior. Don't miss the fascinating Meridian Line on the floor of the church, used historically for astronomical measurements.
The Torre degli Asinelli, the tallest of Bologna’s famous Two Towers, stands at 97 meters (318 feet) and dominates the city's skyline. Built in the 12th century, this medieval brick tower leans slightly and serves as an enduring symbol of Bologna. From the exterior, visitors can admire its imposing height, historic brickwork, and the fascinating contrast with its shorter neighbor, the Garisenda Tower. Located in Piazza di Porta Ravegnana, the tower is a must-see landmark, offering a glimpse into Bologna’s medieval past and an excellent backdrop for photos. EXTERIOR VISIT ONLY
Explore the Porticoes – 30m Bologna is famous for its porticoes (covered walkways), which are found all over the city. Hop in your vehicle and drive through some of the most iconic ones, such as the long Portico di San Luca that leads to the Santuario di Madonna di San Luca.

About Florence
Florence, the cradle of the Renaissance, gathers masterpieces of art and architecture into a compact city of stone streets beside the Arno.
The Duomo, with Brunelleschi's great red-brick dome, Giotto's bell tower and the Baptistery's gilded doors, marks the centre of town. A few streets away, Piazza della Signoria and the Palazzo Vecchio face a loggia full of sculpture, and the Uffizi Gallery holds Botticelli, Leonardo and Raphael. Michelangelo's David stands in the Galleria dell'Accademia.
