What you can expect

Explore Bologna’s iconic porticoes, recognised as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and travel comfortably aboard the San Luca Express to one of the city’s most beloved landmarks.

Begin your experience in the historic centre, where you’ll board the San Luca Express tourist train. As you travel towards the hills, your guide will introduce you to the history and cultural significance of Bologna’s famous arcades, which stretch for over 60 kilometres throughout the city.

Arrive at the breathtaking Sanctuary of the Madonna di San Luca, connected to the city by the extraordinary Portico di San Luca — the longest covered portico in the world, with 666 arches. Enjoy free time to admire panoramic views over Bologna’s red rooftops and take memorable photos.

Return to the city centre for a guided visit to the historic Archiginnasio of Bologna, once the main seat of the prestigious University of Bologna, founded in 1088 and considered the oldest university in the Western world. Discover the stunning coats of arms decorating the walls and step inside the fascinating Anatomical Theatre.

End your experience on a sweet note with a tasting of authentic artisanal gelato in the heart of Bologna.
