DAY 1:

Check-in in a charming hotel located in the hearth of Bologna. In the early afternoon meeting with the private guide for a short walk around the city centre to admire some of the most important monuments and tourist attractions: the main square Piazza Maggiore and its historical buildings, the San Petronio cathedral, the Neptune fountain, the beautiful Piazza Santo Stefano and its church, the two towers, the medieval food market. The walk ends at the hotel and then free time for shopping and relax.
