Guided bike tour of Bologna's hidden gems

You'll discover Bologna on two wheels with a 2.5-hour guided ride through historic streets, hidden corners and iconic landmarks – all seen through a local's eyes.The tour winds through the old town, starting on quiet neighbourhood streets before reaching Piazza Maggiore, Bologna's grand central square, framed by historic palaces and the Basilica of San Petronio. You'll then visit the Archiginnasio, the original home of the world's oldest university, before exploring the Jewish Ghetto and Piazza Santo Stefano, known for its evocative 'Seven Churches' complex and mediaeval atmosphere.The ride also includes a stop at Giardini Margherita, the city's most beloved public park, offering a more relaxed, everyday side of Bologna.Before heading back, you'll uncover one of Bologna's best-kept secrets: its ancient canal network. Hard to spot at first glance, these waterways run quietly behind building façades and beneath city streets, revealing a hidden layer of the city that most visitors never get to see. One of the most magical spots is the so-called 'window on the canal' – a small opening in a city street that frames a perfect view of the water flowing silently below, offering a rare and unexpected glimpse into the city's hidden past.
