Bologna Street Food Tour: Taste Authentic Local Flavors

About this activity

Explore Bologna's food scene on a street food walk through the heart of the old town. Starting at Piazza della Mercanzia, follow your local host through lively streets and market lanes to five food stops, each a small local business or traditional food spot.

Taste aged Parmigiano Reggiano, Bologna's famous tortellini with a twist, local cured meats and cheeses, a couple of glasses of local wine, and something sweet to finish. At every stop, your host shares the stories behind the food and how locals eat it today.
