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 those who live it every day... and through details that often go unnoticed.


In this free walking tour, I will lead you into the vibrant heart of the city: the narrow streets of the Quadrilatero, the ancient arcades, and authentic places tied to Bologna's rich gastronomic tradition.


We will explore historic shops, markets, and characteristic corners, where food tells the story of the area better than any book.


This is not a typical guided tour, but a relaxed and authentic walk, designed as an introduction to the city, among curiosities, hidden symbols, and small details that most people do not notice when they pass by.


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


During your stay in Bologna, I will also provide you with useful tips on what to see and where to eat.

If there are no more spots available, don't worry: write to me and I will try to find a solution. I will be happy to welcome you and share a lovely moment together.


P.S. This tour is an introduction to the city: no tastings or samples are included, but during the tour, I will share tips on what and where to eat to best experience Bologna.
