Overview

Discover the medieval charm and culinary richness of Bologna on this private day trip from Florence. This fully customisable experience includes hotel pickup and dropoff with a professional English-speaking driver. Begin at Piazza Maggiore, the heart of the city, surrounded by historic architecture. Then admire the iconic Le Due Torri—Asinelli and Garisenda. If open, you can climb the Asinelli Tower for panoramic city views. Stroll beneath the UNESCO-listed Portico di San Luca, a unique network of medieval arcades perfect for exploring in any season. Finally, dive into local flavours at the Quadrilatero Market, where you can try regional specialities like tortellini and mortadella. After a day of history, culture, and cuisine, relax on the scenic return to Florence through the Tuscan-Emilian hills.
