Top Experiences in Bologna

Unique things to do, curated by kimkim specialists
Bologna, the heart of Italy's Food Valley, is an excellent destination for food, music, and culture enthusiasts. We've researched so you don't have to. We have chosen various experiences to choose from, like a similar outing to this Parmigiano, Prosciutto & Balsamico guided journey in Parma & Modena, where you'll sample local food items, learn about the meticulous process behind the products, and savor a 6-course lunch at a family-run restaurant. If you prefer a more hands-on experience, you might like something similar to this pasta Bolognese cooking class, where a professional chef will teach you how to make tagliatelle with ragù, tortellini en brood, and tortellini with butter and sage before enjoying your creations paired with local wines. For a well-rounded outing, you can enjoy an afternoon like this food, music, and culture experience that takes you to a historic vinegar factory to taste the famous Balsamic Vinegar of Modena and the House Museum of Luciano Pavarotti before indulging in a typical trattoria lunch.
