My recent visit to Torre Prendiparte in Bologna was an absolute delight, and I'm excited to share my experience! This tower offers a unique perspective of this beautiful city that you won't want to miss.
The highlight of the visit was undoubtedly the incredible view. From the top of the tower, I had a 360-degree view of Bologna, and it was nothing short of spectacular. The panorama stretched as far as the eye could see, and I could easily spot all the city's major landmarks. The view of the Due Torri (Two Towers), which are iconic symbols of Bologna, was particularly captivating. Seeing them from this vantage point gave me a newfound appreciation for their historical and architectural significance.
The Torre Prendiparte itself is a well-preserved piece of Bologna's history. It's fascinating to think that it dates back to the 12th century and has witnessed centuries of change in the city. The interior is charming and provides visitors with insights into the tower's history.
I must commend the staff for their warm welcome and informative tour. They shared interesting stories and historical details about the tower and its surroundings, making the visit all the more engaging.
For anyone visiting Bologna, I highly recommend Torre Prendiparte as a must-see attraction. It's a perfect blend of history, architecture, and breathtaking views. Whether you're a history enthusiast, an architecture buff, or simply someone who appreciates a good view, this place won't disappoint. Don't miss the chance to capture some amazing photos and create lasting memories during your visit. I absolutely loved it and would happily return for another visit...

Some parts of the tower have cool air. There are some nice rooms to see along the way as well. You can use card to buy tickets. It’s a hidden gem.
What I’d improve: I’d suggest that if the staff doesn’t wear a T-shirt, they should have a visible name tag. In one of the floors, where there’s a bathroom, there was a staff member— but I couldn’t tell at all! She didn’t appear to wear a badge or anything and was on her phone. She told me the bathroom wasn’t working when she really meant that people weren’t allowed to use it. I just wanted to wash my hands and I saw she used the bathroom. I assumed a random person was telling me this and it was a bit of a strange misunderstanding.
But aside from that, it was a nice experience. I guess, just use the...
Read moreUsually, I like to get on top of towers in different cities. But this experience was different. At first, climbing up could be easy compared to climbing down. The stairs are high wooden and it is tough and scary to get down. Second, it is only one way for up and down, so sometimes you should wait for some visitors to end their climbing. The view is great, you can see all the city if it’s good weather. The price is good for this tower. During your journey to the top, there are floors with some installations. The maximum amount of people who can be on top is about 10 people, so you may wait if it is a season. We were in winter so no...
