Skip the line and tour the ancient University of Bologna building

Founded way-back-when in 1088 and still going strong today, the University Bologna is the world's oldest continuously operating university. It was the first institution to award degrees, and is also where we got the word university itself. It's a pretty big deal!

The original university building was housed in the astounding Archiginnasio of Bologna, where this audio-guided tour will take you on a journey through time, after you skip the line.

Located in the historic center of Bologna, it's one of the city's most important buildings and a cultural must-see. This tour focuses on the interesting history of the University of Bologna, as you explore the magnificent Municipal Library and the 16th-century Anatomical Theater, once used for anatomy lessons. Almost entirely destroyed by bombs in WWII, it was restored using all of the original rubble.

At the end of the tour, you'll get a tasting platter of delicious local cold cuts in the nearby Quadrilatero market.

Luca 4/5

Un viaje en el tiempo con las aulas históricas y los frescos. Fascinante aunque algo descuidado en algunas áreas.

Giulia 5/5

Absolutamente impresionante, la Biblioteca es increíble. Es como respirar historia. ¡Una joya de Bolonia!

Marco 3/5

Interesante desde el punto de vista histórico, pero esperaba más información disponible en inglés para los turistas.
