On this private tour you will have the opportunity to visit many interesting and historical sites, among which the following stand out:

  • Jewish quarter: you will marvel at the labyrinthine ancient alleys of this legendary quarter, where the Jewish community settled. You will see beautiful bridges, houses, craft shops and the main synagogue.
  • Piazza Verdi: here, locals gather to hang out. It is surrounded by bars, restaurants and the Teatro Comunale of Bologna, where opera recitals and other music, dance and art performances take place.
  • Via Piella Window: this iconic city window is located over the canal and bridge delle Moline, in the area of Bologna known as Little Venice, from where you have a spectacular view of the canals.

You will also see one of the essential symbols of the city, the two towers: Garisenda and Asinelli, in the heart of the historic centre. Both were built during the medieval era to protect Bologna from military attacks at the time.
