Bologna's Best Kept Secrets: Self-Guided Walking Tour

About

Discover Bologna's delicious blend of medieval splendor and culinary excellence with the self-guided audio tour app, allowing you to explore Italy's gastronomic capital at your own pace. Begin in the magnificent Piazza Maggiore where Gothic palaces and the unfinished facade of San Petronio have witnessed eight centuries of civic life beneath the iconic Two Towers that lean precariously over the terracotta rooftops. Wander through 40 kilometers of elegant porticoes—UNESCO-protected covered walkways that shelter Bolognesi from sun and rain while revealing frescoed ceilings, hidden shrines, and artisan workshops unchanged for generations. Climb the Torre degli Asinelli for views across the red-roofed cityscape to the Apennine foothills, then explore the world's oldest university where students have debated beneath ancient arcades since 1088. Discover the Quadrilatero market district where vendors sell the mortadella, tortellini, and aged Parmigiano-Reggiano.
