A traditional and historical church on the top of the 'Colli Bolognesi'. If you are visiting Bologna you really have to visit this place.
If you’re in Bologna - I personally think this is a great thing to do if you have time. Such a beautiful walk up one of the worlds longest Porticos. Took me about 1hr 30mins from the centre of the city.
It’s quite a climb with lots of stairs but walking is the best way to do it. Lots of great view points on the way.
Once you get to the top you’re greeted by a beautiful church surrounded by lovely gardens. You can go up the top of the church and get a lovely view of the town. Recommend!
Amazing view!
The way up is really worth what you will see uphill!
You need to get a tourist train ride here from piazza Maggiore ( or walk it - lovely yet quite a long walk ) but its totally worth it.
The views are absolutely breath taking! A must see!
seems far from city centre but definitely worth a visit
there are lots of steps so be prepared to spend some energy. bring water and you can refill your bottles at the fountains when you reach the top.
they say that there are 666 arches that make up the portico but obviously it's just a "legend" lol
to get to even higher spot to have a panoramic view you have to pay a 5 euro
Old church with a great hilltop view of Bologna. 5€ donation to go up about 110 steps spiralling up to the side of the building. You can see just about everything, half the town and the countryside. Sadly you cannot see why kids like the taste of cinnamon toast crunch from up there. I rate it a 5/7 must see.
Picturesque church on top of a hill. The walk up to the church is a good workout (about 30 minutes uphill, in addition to the flat part from the main plaza) and it's amazing to be walking through what seems like an never ending colonnade. The entire path is in the shade, so is doable even on a hot day. Remember to bring water and there are water fountains and toilets at the top.
Wonderful place in Bologna, with nice views up there. It's totally worth the walk. Don't worry if it's raining outside, as you will always walk under archways.
Truly breathtaking views and worth the trek up and down the many stairs. Not too many tourists (like me) to ruin this authentic monument and very peaceful. If your legs are up for it then do the walk from the bottom to the top of the basilica. You won't be disappointed. One of the many beautiful places visited in Italy during my honeymoon
If there is an opportunity to take "express" then it's better on it. Raising the foot does not master everyone. The road is always up, partly on the steps. My fit bracelet showed almost 3,000 steps. View from above is NOT on the city.
