Arcaded Porticoes
Bologna’s famous landmark, the covered arcaded walkways or the Porticoes, which stretch for more than 40 kilometres around the centre of Bologna. The covered porticoes of different age and style are the result of nine centuries of urban planning. It makes Bologna a unique landscape to walk day and night.
The portico of St. Luca, 3.8 km long, consists of 666 arches and 15 chapels, leading to the Sanctuary of San Luca, pearching on the hilltop.
The Porticoes are now in the tentative list of the UNESCO World Heritage Site. Will the porticoes of Bologna be Italy’s next Unesco World Heritage site?
Piazza Maggiore
Spend some time lingering in Piazza Maggiore, located in the city’s old center, Bologna’s beating heart. A classic example of Renaissance town planning, it is one of the most graceful public squares in Italy.
The square is surrounded by the unfinished Basilica di San Petronio, the Palazzo Communale (city hall) , the handsome Fountain of Neptune, sculpted in 1566 and the iconic two towers that lean in a different direction.
The Two Towers of Bologna
The two leaning towers, Garisenda and Asinelli, the traditional symbol of Bologna, are both named the noble families in Bologna. In the late 12th century, at least one hundred towers dotted the town's skyline, but today only twenty have survived the ravages of fire, warfare and lightning. Asinelli Tower is the town’s tallest. It is possible to climb 498 steps up to the top, to enjoy great epic views over the city.
Sanctuary of San Luca
The Sanctuary is situated on top of a hill, offering a splendid panoramic view of the city. The highlight is getting there on a 50-minute walk from the center Portico San Luca, starting from Porta Saragozza, under the 666 arches and passing 15 chapels, 3,8 km long , the longest in the world. The route is flat until the Arco del Meloncello, it climbs uphill. It sounds challenging, but the reward is astounding!

Republic of San Marino
The Republic of San Marino, charming and fascinating microstate, is Europe’s third smallest country, and fifth in the world. Being one of the oldest republic in the world, San Marino was never ruled by Monachy. San Marino was founded in 301AD by St. Marinus and a group of Christian refugee, who settled there to escape Roman’s persecution. Since then, the state was ruled by its own statutes and consuls. The commune was able to remain independent despite encroachments by neighbouring bishops and lords, mainly because of its isolation and its mountain fortresses.
San Marino sits atop of Mount Titano, part of the Apennine mountain range, is mostly rugged and mountainous, completely enveloped by Italy. It and offers stunning views of the landscape of Italy and Adriatic coast.
It has nine cities but, the most visited town is the capital City of San Marino
(Città di San Marino), declare as a UNESCO World Heritage Site featuring enchanting architecture, from 14th- and 16th-century convents to neoclassical basilica, and three fortresses that represent the nation’s freedom and independence.
Area: 61 sq km
Population: 32,500
Three symbolic towers
The three symbolic towers, Rocca Guaita, Torre Cesta and Montale, are depicted on both the national flag and coat of arms.
Rocca Guaita and Torre Cesta are two fortress towers situated on a ridge at the summit of Mount Titano. Both are open to public. The most impressive is Rocca Guaita, it was built in the 10th century directly onto the rock with no foundations. Given its precarious position, it has been reconstructed many times throughout the centuries. Historically this was where the population of San Marino would take refuge against sieges – parts of the tower were still used as prisons up to as late as 1970! The second tower, Torre Cesta, it has a museum with showcases over 1,550 weapons dating from the Medieval Era to the modern day. The third tower is Torre del Montale, unlike the other towers, this one is not open to the public, but it is well worth making the trip there as you will find even more spectacular views over San Marino, as well as several quaint spots to relax with a picnic as you take in the unspoilt scenary.
Piazza della Libertà
Piazza della Libertà was once the epicentre of political life in San Marino. Here you’ll find Palazzo Pubblico, the town hall and official government building, the façade of which is elaborately decorated with the coat of arms of the republic and its four municipalities. Over the square’s stone walls the views of the surrounding landscape are beautiful.
Tax Free Shopping
Take advantage of tax-free shopping.....Like many other microstates, San Marino has a very low tax policy so you can shop liberally here. The locally produced hand-painted ceramics, refined lace and embroidery are lovely. For collectors of rare stamps and coins, San Marino is particularly appealing.
