Trip Itinerary
1
Basilica di San Petronio
Day 1-2
I will wait for you at the airport (Marconi Airport, the only one in Bologna). Be sure to arrive before 11, so we will have time to visit the city in the afternoon. Ideally, we could visit: - Piazza Maggiore, the main square - San Petronio, the main church - The old markets, where you will see stores selling prosciutto and other different kinds of ham and sausages. I will explain you about the local food, and we can decide to have an aperitivo together! We will visit the inside of the main Church of Bologna, checking the fresco with catholic stories. The history of San Petronio is very peculiar because originally was designed to be the biggest church of the whole Christianity. But when the Pope heard it, stopped the project since he was afraid that Rome could lose its predominantly role.

Sanctuary of the Madonna di San Luca
Day 2-3
On day two we will go trekking to San Luca Church under the world's longest arcade (it's about 4 km one way, some steps could be quite steep so don't forget sporty shoes) Bologna has always been proud and devoted and its population invested in building this long arcade that connect the city center to the Sanctuary. In the Sanctuary is venerated the image of a Holy Mary that is known to be able to bring rain! We will have the opportunity to visit the dome, climbing a narrow spiral staircase. The experience is called "San Luca Sky experience" and will give you the possibility to see beautiful views of the city and its surroundings.

Two Towers
Day 3
On the second day, I will bring you to one of the oldest coffee shop in town to have a fantastic cappuccino! We will also see: - The 7 churches of Santo Stefano - Climb the 2 Towers - San Domenico - The Jewish Ghetto - The Hidden Chanels It is always fun to climb one of the 2 Towers of Bologna. It will not be easy, but the view from the top will reward your efforts! Be ready for dozens of steps inside a medieval tower that used to be the house of a rich local family.

Bologna
Day 3-4
The day of your flight back, we can have a walk in the city center to buy the last souvenirs, drink an incredible cappuccino and plan your next trip! We can just get lost among the narrow streets and enjoy the city with its artists, shops, students and true Italian life.
