Description
This combined tour offers a glimpse into two of Bologna's most important historical sites and the unique experiences they provide:
The Archiginnasio, one of Bologna's most significant palaces, lies at the heart of the city's historic center. Once the headquarters of the ancient University of Bologna, the oldest university in the world, it now serves as the city's main library. The palace houses the famous Anatomical Theatre, where anatomy lectures were once held by the school of medicine. By scanning a QR code with your smartphone, you can explore the rich history of the university and its lasting influence on education.
This unique experience extends to another iconic site: Palazzo d'Accursio, one of Bologna's most impressive landmarks. With a handy audio guide, you'll embark on a journey through the Clock Tower, the beating heart of the city, and learn fascinating stories about the tower and its inner workings. As you explore, you'll also have the chance to admire the Municipal Art Collections, filled with artistic treasures that trace Bologna’s storied past.
The tour includes a delightful tasting of typical local products in the city center, to give you a full immersion into Bologna's history and culture.
