2026 TOURS TO EUROPE
BOLOGNA, ITALY
​May 24-31, 2026
Picture
Located in the heart of Italy between Florence and Venice, Bologna has always been a cradle of intellectual, artistic and scientific progress. Its famous university was founded in 1088 and is the oldest in Europe. Bologna is a medieval tour de force – the city center is one of the best preserved in Europe. It is dominated by the lofty silhouettes of ancient towers; by magnificent medieval, Renaissance, and Baroque churches; by civic mansions erected in the 13th and 14th centuries; and by the sumptuous town houses built by the city’s aristocracy in the 16th and 17th centuries. Bologna’s most unique feature, however, is its extensive succession of covered porticoes that wind through the city for over 25 miles.
