  • The perfect starting point for your ride: Bologna's main bike station, right next to the central train station, where you'll pick up your bike and get ready to explore the city.
  • Piazzetta Prendiparte
    A quiet hidden square dominated by one of Bologna's few surviving medieval towers. The Torre Prendiparte, once a symbol of power for the city's noble families, offers a rare glimpse into Bologna's dramatic medieval skyline.
  • Il Ghetto Ebraico di Bologna
    Tucked behind Piazza Maggiore, the Jewish Ghetto is a maze of narrow streets with a centuries-old history. This intimate neighborhood was home to Bologna's Jewish community and still carries traces of its layered past in every corner.
  • Piazza Maggiore
    The beating heart of Bologna. Surrounded by stunning medieval and Renaissance architecture, including the Basilica di San Petronio and Palazzo d'Accursio, this grand square is where the city has gathered for centuries — and still does today.
  • Archiginnasio Di Bologna
    The original home of the University of Bologna, the oldest university in the Western world. Its porticoed courtyard and famous Anatomical Theatre make it one of the most fascinating — and often overlooked — buildings in the city center.
  • A refined and peaceful square home to the Basilica of San Domenico, where a young Michelangelo left his mark. Elegant palaces and the tomb of the founder of the Dominican Order give this spot a quiet, almost timeless atmosphere.
  • Giardini Margherita
    Bologna's most beloved public park, just beyond Porta Castiglione. A favorite spot for locals jogging, cycling, and relaxing on the grass. The perfect place to take a breath, soak up everyday Bolognese life, and feel like a true local.
  • Piazza Santo Stefano
    One of the most evocative squares in Bologna, shaped by the complex of the Seven Churches — a remarkable ensemble of interconnected Romanesque basilicas dating back to the 5th century. Quiet, atmospheric, and unlike anywhere else in the city.
  • Finestrella Di Via Piella
    Bologna's best-kept secret: a hidden canal with a tiny window — the so-called "finestra sul canale" — that frames a view straight out of Amsterdam. A surprising reminder that Bologna was once a city of waterways, and a perfect final image to take home.
