Overview
Although half a day could never be enough to absorb all that is Bologna, with a host by your side, you can make the most of the time you have. Float on cloud nine as you nibble on a pistachio biscuit, drink prosecco at a bar with tables scattered across a piazza or get your walking shoes on and take in all the big sites like the Fontana di Nettuno, Piazza Maggiore and Basilica di San Petronia.
Your host can’t wait to share their home’s highlights and hidden gems with you so, arrivederci and see you on the other side!
