Top Attractions in Bologna
💡 The theatre is free only during term-time library hours; if the door is locked, check the library’s opening times online—it's often open 9–13 on weekdays.
💡 Climb the nearby Torre degli Asinelli for a panorama (paid), but first walk around the basilica's side streets to see the tiny, frescoed Oratorio dei Battuti Bianchi – free and often missed.
💡 You can walk into the entrance courtyard and the staircase for free. To enter the Anatomical Theatre and library, you need to buy a ticket (€3 in 2024) — worth it, but check the website for closures during events.
💡 Buy a cone of fried gnocco fritto (savoury dough puffs) from the back stall for €2. Eat standing at the bar; you'll save €4–5 on a seated menu.
💡 No need to buy a full meal – grab a cone of fried seafood or a slice of pizza al taglio for €3–5. The alleyway Via Pescherie Vecchie has the best panino spots, like Tamburini.
💡 Go early around 10am to see the shops in full swing. Avoid eating at the tourist-friendly places with menus in English; instead grab a tray of tortellini from a deli counter to eat standing up. Costs about €4–5 for lunch.
💡 Don't pay to go in the small museum in the back rooms. Instead walk around the left side to the rear of the building to see the impressive 'Porta Magna' unfinished facade with its carved reliefs.
💡 Walk the Portico di San Luca starting from Porta Saragozza at dawn — it's cooler, you'll beat the heat, and you get the sanctuary almost to yourself. Bring water; there are few fountains.
