Clock Tower & Food Tasting

Meeting point: Neptune square, next to the Bar Vittorio Emanuele. Look for Bologna Tour staff.

Description

A unique experience that will allow you to discover Palazzo d'Accursio, its Tower and the Municipal Art Collections. Entering through the courtyard of Palazzo d'Accursio and climbing the "horse staircase" to the second floor, you will first enter the Clock Tower. Here, using your smartphone, you will listen to the audio guide that will take you inside the rooms of the building, until you reach the beating heart of the tower: the mechanism that makes the clock works. You will hear anecdotes about how the palace and the tower have passed through the centuries up to the present day, and you will be treated to an unmissable view of the famous Piazza Maggiore. After the ascent and the visit to the Clock Tower, you can now visit the Municipal Art Collections, housed in the rooms that were once the residence of the Cardinal Legates.

Again, with the help of the audio guide, you can discover paintings, art objects, furniture, porcelain and textiles from the Middle Ages to the present day. And to finishing well, you can enjoy a fantastic tasting of typical products.

NOTE: The meeting point is in Piazza Nettuno in front of the Neptune statue, 15 minutes before the entrance time to the tower. At the meeting point a member of our staff will welcome you and hand you the entrance tickets for the ascent to the tower and the vouchers for the tasting of typical local products. This is not a guided tour, but you will be accompanied to the entrance by a member of staff and will be provided with downloadable audio-guides on your smartphone to carry out the tour in total freedom.
