What to expect?

Did you know that there is a network of underground canals running below the city? And that the oldest university in the world was founded right here, in 1088?

Get on your bike and follow us to discover Bologna’s highlights with our 2.5-hour bike tour!
The first stop is Piazza Maggiore, in the heart of the city, overlooked by some of Bologna’s most famous buildings and monuments: the Basilica of San Petronio, Palazzo Re Enzo and the Neptune Fountain. Follow our guide to the Archiginnasio, once home to the University of Bologna, the Two Towers as well as the Prendiparte Tower, one of the few towers still standing in the historical centre.

In the Manifattura delle Arti district you can find out about the origins of the ancient port of Bologna and the canals that still flow under the road surface, so important for the economic development of the city in the Middle Ages. Speaking of canals: another must-see place is via Piella, where you can see the water of the Moline Canal flowing open-air from a little window.

The last stops of our Bologna bike tour are the wonderful Basilica di Santo Stefano, also called Sette Chiese (Seven Churches), and the Basilica San Domenico, which houses a work by Michelangelo.
