The itinerary
Transfer Florence to Venice with stop in Bologna
Maximize your time, take advantage of your transfer between Florence and Venice with stop in Bologna and visit this beautiful city. Rich in art and culture, Bologna merges its glorious past with the present.
Ancient buildings and castles become the stage for art exhibitions, concerts and open-air cinemas. History is kept as part of today’s life of the Bolognese people.
Ancient origins
Many of the old houses of medieval structures hide under their foundation the ancient Roman city which traces back to the 2nd century BC. Some other houses have even Iron Age traces!
Cultural travel for artists
The golden age for Bolognese art was the 14th and 17th century and with its great heritage the city became an important stop in the cultural travel artists like Füssli, Goethe and Stendhal would take from the North to Rome.
What to see in Bologna
Famous for its about 40km (24 miles) of porticoes the longest in the world, a symbol of Bologna’s hospitality and ancient center of trade and communication.
But also for its medieval towers, the Santo Stefano church complex, the imposing basilica of San Petronio in the main square of the city.
Walk the city center
Despite the demolitions in the 19th century and the distractions in World War II, the city was able to maintain its integrity and character that still today we can admire. The medieval city center is among the largest and better maintained in Europe and is full of taverns, theaters and workshops.
Culture meets food
Bologna is not only ‘the learned’ with the oldest university in the world, but also ‘the fat’ renowned for its amazing food culture made of ancient traditions and recipes of ragù, lasagna and delicious tortellini!
Enjoy this unique city and then relax during the comfortable drive to your destination in Venice.
