Hello! I’m Frederik, an Italian-Danish artist and certified tour leader, born and raised in Bologna. With a passion for creativity, culture, and cuisine, I love sharing the soul of my city in a way that’s both personal and inspiring. I focus on the small details and hidden gems that most people miss — from quiet alleyways full of stories to local food spots rich in tradition. My tours are a unique blend of storytelling, art, and music, capturing the layered spirit of Bologna. If you’re looking to discover the city through fresh eyes, with a mix of history, flavor, and artistic flair — I’d love to walk with you!

Tour description

Discover Bologna through its flavors, stories, and symbols — seen through the eyes of someone who lives it every day.

On this free walking tour, I’ll take you through the lively heart of the city: the narrow streets of the Quadrilatero, the ancient porticoes, and the most authentic places tied to Bologna’s rich food tradition.

We’ll explore historic shops, markets, and curious corners — where food tells the story of the land better than any book.

This isn’t a typical guided tour, but a relaxed walk among friends.

I’ll show you hidden symbols, curious anecdotes, and small details that most people miss when just passing by.

Bologna should be experienced slowly, with curious eyes… and the right appetite.

I’ll help you during your stay in Bologna by giving you useful tips on what to see and where to eat.

👉 If the tour is full, don’t worry — just send me a message! I’ll do my best to be flexible and find a spot for you.
