Before you go

Good to know in Bologna

Book the university and choose museum days

  • The Anatomical Theatre visitor route requires booking. The Stabat Mater Hall and other institutional rooms depend on availability; the working library is not open to general tourists.Source: Bologna Welcome — Archiginnasio · checked Sep 2026

Plan the hill and the final museum

  • San Luca is a hilltop sanctuary. The full portico route from Porta Saragozza is several kilometres and uphill; this itinerary instead allows transport and a shorter walk on arrival. Services can limit sightseeing.Source: Bologna Welcome — San Luca · checked Sep 2026
