Experience Bologna through the eyes of a local illustrator and animator! After training at the Academy of Fine Arts and working on international projects and teaching, your guide brings a wealth of experience in drawing and live performance art to this unique city tour.

Join a 3-hour guided drawing walk through Bologna’s vibrant streets. No prior drawing experience is needed—step by step, you’ll be guided in observing, sketching, and capturing the city’s colors, faces, food, architecture, and personality. Each tour is led by Andrea, a local artist with a background in culture, theatre, and alternative urban life.

As you progress, you’ll stop in authentic places and neighborhoods known for their rich history, including a special focus on Bologna’s anti-fascist heritage and contemporary local identity. At the end, you’ll have created your own one-of-a-kind, handmade memento of your time in Bologna.

Choose from three unique drawing walks:

Food & Drink: Sketch Bologna’s food culture and daily rituals, with markets, street life, osterie, and a delicious aperitivo.
Architecture: Focus on the city’s historic streets, porticoes, and courtyards, learning to capture unique proportions and perspectives. Includes an Italian coffee and brioche.
Underground Culture: Explore Bologna’s alternative and underground scene—street art, hidden venues, and subcultures, with drawing as your storytelling tool, plus an aperitivo.
All drawing materials are provided. Relax and enjoy new perspectives—whether you’re a total beginner or a passionate sketcher.
