Surfaces are largely flat around Piazza Maggiore, with occasional cobbles near historic lanes; verify wheelchair access for tasting venues and church interiors if your tour includes indoor stops.

What should I wear on a Bologna walking tour?
Wear comfortable closed-toe shoes and breathable layers for Bologna’s porticoed streets and occasional cobbles. Bring sun protection in summer, a light rain jacket in spring or fall, and modest attire if your tour enters churches (covered shoulders and knees).
