Overview

Bologna is not only a city of food, porticoes, and medieval towers… it also hides a more mysterious and lesser-known side.

On this evening walking tour, you’ll explore the historic centre through stories that go beyond the typical tourist experience. From tragic love stories and secret symbols to tales of the Inquisition and dramatic events from modern history, Bologna reveals its hidden layers after dark.

Walk through quiet streets and atmospheric corners while your local guide brings the city to life with engaging storytelling. You’ll discover places you would easily miss on your own and hear stories that are rarely told in traditional tours.

This is not a standard historical visit, but a storytelling experience designed to surprise, intrigue, and show you a different perspective of Bologna.

Perfect for curious travellers who want to explore the city in a unique and memorable way.
