Via Indipendenza, the artery of the city

Our residence in the centre of Bologna, Gardi Luxury Apartments, which houses our 7 luxury apartments, is located at no.5 of the famous Via Indipendenza.

Via Indipendenza has very ancient origins. It was laid out between 1885 and 1890 to connect the city centre to the railway station. Even today, it is the most important street in the city of Bologna. It is about 1 km long, starts from Piazza Maggiore and reaches the Central Station. By walking along, it you cross the very heart of the city between monuments, attractions, bars and shopping windows.

St. Peter’s Cathedral (1 minute, 67 metres)

Main place of worship of the city dating back to the 10th century. Its treasure, which houses artefacts and liturgical vestments of the fourteenth century of artistic and spiritual value, is very famous. The bell tower, 70 metres high, is the second tallest tower in the city.

Neptune Fountain (2 minutes, 120 metres)

In Piazza del Nettuno, you can admire its famous statue of the same name. It was made of marble and bronze between 1563 and 1566. Majestic symbol of the power of the Pope over the world, like the god Neptune who dominates the seas and rivers.

Piazza Maggiore (2 minutes, 150 metres)

One of the undisputed icons of the city, the famous “Piazza Grande” sung by Lucio Dalla. Dating back to 1200, today it houses other important buildings and places of attraction in the city including: Basilica of San Petronio, Palazzo dei Noti, Palazzo d’Accursio, Palazzo del Podestà and Palazzo dei Banchi.

The Two Towers (5 minutes, 400 metres)

The second icon of the city is the pair of the Two Towers: Garisenda and degli Asinelli. Built during the Middle Ages for military surveillance and defence, today they fascinate thousands of tourists. The torre degli Asinelli is 97.2 metres high and from its top you can enjoy a breathtaking panoramic view over the whole city. The Garisenda tower, on the other hand, is 47 metres high and stands out for its fascinating slope (so much so that Dante included a description of it in the Divine Comedy).

Finestrella (6 minutes, 500 metres)

The Finestrella on the Canale delle Moline is one of the most amazing hidden places in the city. It is a real small window in via Pielle, which anyone can open, and once opened it shows an unprecedented glimpse of the city called “the little Venice”. In fact, the window opens right on the Canale delle Moline, which flows right between the buildings, similar to the Venetian canals.

Let yourself be conquered by the charms of the city by easily visiting it on foot starting from our residence located in the centre of Bologna, Gardi Luxury Apartments.
