What You Will Do
Calling all booklovers to the city, which encloses the oldest university in the world, to join one of our book-mad hosts and discover why the city’s nickname, la dotta (the learned one), extends far beyond its academic past. Among the locals you’ll also find many writers, musicians, filmmakers and artists, all of whom are dedicated to and passionate about their city’s culture. Follow your host as you explore the independent bookstores and spectacular libraries together, truly immersing yourself in a world of words, knowledge and intrigue.
Within 24 hours after booking you'll receive a short questionnaire about your personality and interests. Based on your responses, you'll be assigned a like-minded host. Your host will communicate with you directly to suggest an itinerary to help you discover what makes the city unique. You will also agree on a meeting time and place. Your itinerary is flexible, so during the experience, you can always change your mind about what you want to do.
