As night falls, Bologna reveals a more intimate and intriguing side. Away from the daytime crowds, the city becomes quieter, its porticoes softly lit, and its hidden corners full of atmosphere and stories waiting to be discovered.
This guided evening walking tour is designed to show you Bologna from a different perspective. Starting from Piazza Galvani, in the heart of the historic centre, you’ll explore a mix of iconic landmarks and lesser-known spots that most visitors overlook.
Walking through narrow streets and evocative squares, you’ll uncover curious details, ancient beliefs, and fascinating anecdotes. From stories linked to the Inquisition and local legends, to mysterious symbols and unexpected episodes from Bologna’s past, each stop reveals a new layer of the city.
The tour also passes through the atmospheric area of Santo Stefano, one of the most fascinating and symbolic places in Bologna, especially in the evening.
This is not just a sightseeing tour, but a storytelling experience designed to help you truly connect with the city — its history, its atmosphere, and its hidden soul.
The tour ends in Piazza Maggiore, where Bologna’s monuments take on a completely different charm under the night lights.
