Starting from the convenient meeting point in Piazza San Francesco, journey through the streets of the city center with your guide to experience four incredible UNESCO World Heritage Sites: the Basilica of Sant'Apollinare Nuovo, the Mausoleum of Galla Placidia, the Basilica of San Vitale, the Neonian Baptistery. You will have the opportunity to visit: The Basilica of Sant'Apollinare Nuovo: originally used as a Palatine Church of Arianism, today it allows us to reconstruct the evolution of Byzantine wall mosaics from the age of Theodoric to that of Justinian. The Basilica of San Vitale: one of the most important monuments of early Christian art in Italy. When you enter the basilica, your gaze is captured by the high spaces, the wonderful mosaic decorations of the apse and the extraordinary representation of the imperial couple of Byzantium: Justinian and Theodora, with their procession. The Mausoleum of Galla Placidia: it was built around the middle of the 5th century, at the behest of Galla Placidia, who ruled the Western Roman Empire. The innumerable stars of the dome have struck the imagination and sensitivity of visitors over the centuries, and of outstanding personalities such as the great poet Dante Alighieri, who drew inspiration from them for the writing of some verses of the Divine Comedy. The Neonian Baptistery: one of the oldest monuments of the city, made of simple brick on the outside but rich in marble, stucco, and mosaics of clear Hellenistic-Roman influence inside.

Inside, in addition to many archaeological finds and works of art, is kept the last of the 5 UNESCO monuments included in the ticket, the Chapel of Saint Andrew, which with its depiction of the glorification of Christ is the only example of early Christian archiepiscopal chapel still intact to this day.

Palacio genial, cola de tres horas para poder entrar

We had a really lovely tour the afternoon we arrived in Bologna. It was a great way to get an overview of the city center and find out what places we would like to come back to. It was all pretty close together, easy to walk everywhere and the friendly and knowledgeable guide was fantastic. She took her time, gave us some interesting history and facts, and seemed to enjoy what she does :)

Hello, the castle and the gardens are magnificent. The queue of around 2 hours under the sun is human, to the point that when we arrive inside we are stressed, tired and we appreciate it moderately. Moreover, a little disappointment when visiting the rooms which look more like a museum in a row than 1 castle as we dream of it.

Great tour of Bologna, the guide was so friendly and could go from Italian to English seamlessly. Really enjoyed it

Highly recommended, learned a lot. Mattia explained the process very well

Very well organized, 10/10 recommend!! Book it, worth every $ :)
