What you can expect

  • Discover Bologna on a guided bike tour that takes you through the city's rich history, vibrant culture, and everyday local life. Covering more ground than a walking tour while remaining relaxed and accessible, this experience is an ideal introduction to one of Italy’s most fascinating cities.

    Ride through the historic centre and explore a mix of grand squares, medieval streets, elegant porticoes, and lesser-known corners that reveal Bologna’s unique character. As you cycle through the city, your guide will share stories about its origins, traditions, and the events that helped shape its identity over the centuries.

    Along the route, you'll visit some of Bologna’s most significant landmarks, including its main square – Piazza Maggiore – and the historic university district, while also discovering quieter areas often overlooked by visitors. From ancient religious sites to hidden passageways and traces of the city’s medieval past, every stop offers a different perspective on Bologna.

    The tour also provides a glimpse into daily life beyond the major attractions. Ride through areas where locals gather, relax, and spend their free time, gaining a deeper understanding of the city’s atmosphere and rhythm. You'll experience the contrast between Bologna’s historic heritage and its lively contemporary character, shaped by generations of students, residents, and travellers.

    One of the highlights of the experience is discovering some of Bologna’s hidden treasures, including the historic canals that once played a vital role in the city’s economy and development. Often missed by first-time visitors, these unique waterways reveal an unexpected side of Bologna’s history.
