About Bologna
Bologna's museums tell the story of a city that has been a crossroads of learning, faith and industry for nearly a millennium — from its medieval university to the workshops of Italy's most storied car makers. History-minded visitors can trace that arc on the Bologna the Learned and student uprisings! walk, which unpacks the city's scholarly rebellions, or head out to the motor valley on the Exclusive Tour: Ferrari Museum, Lamborghini & Ducati Factories for a very different kind of heritage.

Frequently asked questions
Bologna's heritage is unusually layered: Europe's oldest university, Roman street grids, medieval towers and a strong industrial tradition all sit within reach of each other. That means a history-focused visit can move from student uprisings and learned academies to the Ferrari, Lamborghini and Ducati collections in the surrounding Motor Valley.
