"You may have heard about climbing the Torre degli Asinelli, one of the best-known things to do in Bologna, but if you like a great view, there’s another great place for spectacular views over Piazza Maggiore – Torre dell’Orologio!
Torre dell’Orologio is on the left side of Palazzo d’Accursio/Palazzo Comunale, a large Medieval building that overlooks Piazza Maggiore. To access the tower, cross the courtyard on the ground floor of the building and follow the arrows leading you up two big staircases, all the way to a frescoed hall.
The stairs of the tower will be at the end of this hall.
There are two viewpoints – one on the crenellated terrace below the giant clock, and another on the tower just above, where you’ll enjoy a wonderful view on Piazza Maggiore and the Bologna historic centre on one side, and on the Bologna hills and San Luca on the other.
The same ticket grants you access to the Collezioni Comunali d’Arte, a fine art collection located on the second floor of the same building.
You need to book a slot to access the tower – there are 15 tickets available for every 20-minute slot.
Opening Hours: (CLOSED MONDAYS).
