Bologna and its towers: a lifelong affair. Let’s start from the most amazing medieval buildings that still dominate the city skyline.

​​Bologna’s churches are truly art galleries. Santa Maria dei Servi, for example, hosts an extraordinary gem of medieval painted art: the "Maestà" by Cimabue, Giotto's master.

After filling your eyes with architectural and artistic beauty, let’s now also tease your taste with a savory surprise, a delicious coffee, and a typical local sweet while strolling around one of the lesser known markets of the town.

The history of Bolognese art is all here! Inside the church of San Martino, we will explore the rich figurative heritage that has elevated Bologna to one of the Italian capitals of art.

In a local deli shop, we will taste the real Bolognese sauce while sipping a glass of local wine and then continue our culinary journey in one of the most authentic markets in town, tasting mouth-watering cured meat, bread and cheese.

We wrap up the tour with a sweet treat and a glass of dessert wine in the oldest osteria of Bologna – the final step to become true locals!
