As the soft evening light falls across the city’s sights, follow your local host to discover local gems. From the ‘beating heart’ piazza of Bologna itself, where the city’s best open-air market once came to life, to one of the largest Gothic Cathedrals in the world, your host will point out some of the details you might otherwise miss. Stop beside the dominating bronze statue of Neptune, and learn a few interesting anecdotes.
Take advantage of the cooler, calmer evening to visit some of Bologna’s busier areas, as you head towards the Voltone del Podesta Archway. Wander around. Take a break at the Caffe ‘Delle Sette Chiese, testing delicious local treats while you take in the sights of the historic square below, and discover two incredible 12th Century leaning towers with their significant tales to tell.
Away from the main tourist areas, see the places where locals gather to spend their evenings socializing in bars and restaurants.
