What You’ll Experience on This Night Tour
As the city slows down and the crowds disappear, Bologna reveals a more mysterious side.
This evening walking tour takes you through the historic centre, where legends, hidden details and forgotten stories come to life.
Starting near Piazza Maggiore, we’ll explore iconic landmarks such as San Petronio and Palazzo d’Accursio, before moving into quieter streets and hidden corners most visitors never notice.
Along the way, you’ll discover stories of witches, ancient beliefs, curious symbols and unexpected episodes from Bologna’s past.
The tour continues towards the evocative complex of Santo Stefano, a place rich in history and mystery, perfect to experience in the evening atmosphere.
This is not just a sightseeing tour, but a storytelling experience designed to help you see Bologna from a different perspective — more authentic, more intriguing, and far from the usual tourist routes.
If you prefer a more personalized experience, you can also book a private Bologna walking tour tailored to your interests.
