Product Information

Walking along any portico in Bologna is a pleasant thing to do because of their attractive archways. And walking the Portico of San Luca is a fairly epic walk, has some beautiful frescoes and architectural features – and is one of the most quintessential things to do in Bologna. How Long Is The Portico Of San Luca? The first section of the San Luca Portico runs between Porta Saragozza and the Arco Del Meloncello and it is a very pleasant stretch of the portico to walk. Well, it was more challenging than I expected! The uphill section is fairly unrelenting and quite steep at the top. I’m not as fit as I’d like to be, and I found myself stopping to catch my breath and regretting carrying heavy camera equipment! Precisely, the San Luca Portico is 3,796 m, which is approximately 2.4 miles. That doesn’t sound like too much of a tough walk, but approximately half of it is solidly uphill.

The porticoes here are generally paler in colour and feature occasional frescos, though some are in need of repair. There are also 15 chapels along this route – these look like gated shrines with plaques describing the family who funded them. The cantaloupe is a juicy fruit that’s related to the watermelon and honeydew melon. It also belongs to the same plant family as cucumbers, pumpkins, squashes, and gourds. Since they have similar taste and texture, they can be used interchangeably in most recipes. There is a taste difference in the two. Honeydew melon is slightly sweeter with a firm, green flesh, while cantaloupe has softer, orange flesh. For us, orange flesh is so much easier to work with ! The route is pretty flat and, depending on the day and time you do the walk, there can be a nice buzz due to the bars and restaurants with outdoor seating, which you’ll pass along the way. This part feels like a lovely city stroll.I think it was about 50 minutes to do the reverse downhill walk, where I stopped less often. However, I did need to stop a couple of times when my knees started getting shaky from all the downhill steps! One of the gentler uphill sections of the route Guide to walking the Portico of San Luca, Bologna Starting Point: Porta Saragozza Arco Del Meloncello is an 18th-century Rococo-style structure that allows those walking the porticoes to do so uninterruptedly above Via Saragozza. This bridge marks the point that the Portico starts to go uphill and out of the city into the hills and it is an attractive place to pause and admire the architecture. View of Via Sarragozza from Arco Del Meloncello Second Section: The Uphill Stretch The most famous portico in Bologna is The Portico of San Luca (or Portico di San Luca). At nearly 4km long, it is not only the city’s longest stretch of portico but also the world’s longest portico. You’ll get glimpses of the city, but mainly the more modern area around Renato Dall’Ara Stadium. There were only a couple of glimpses of the old ‘red city’ of Bologna, fairly near the top, and from quite a distance, so you’d need a powerful zoom lens to capture much detail. Walking uphill in the Portico of San Luca I found the return walk from the Sanctuary to Bologna much easier – because it is mainly downhill! It’s easier going down!

This section of the route is approximately 2km and I did this in about 25 minutes, walking at a brisk pace. Midpoint: Arco Del Meloncello After Arco Del Meloncello, the portico runs uphill with a mixture of slopes and steps, gaining 215 metres in elevation – and this is where it starts to feel like exercise! Oh, and there are no bars or shops along this stretch of the route, so there’s nowhere to buy some water if you need it.In the middle of the San Luca Portico, the covered walkway crosses Via Saragozza via a gorgeous pedestrian bridge, Arco Del Meloncello. Arco del Meloncello Dolce Cilento produces Medal Winner Premium Italian Liqueurs such as Meloncello, Limoncello and Watermeloncello as well as Italian Cream Liqueurs such as Cream Meloncello, Cream Nocciole Hazelnut, Cream Pistachio and Cream Limoncello. Porta Saragozza is an old gate to the city of Bologna, dating from the 13 th century, in the southwest of the city centre. The porticos in which you’ll start your walk are directly across the main road from Porta Saragozza, running west-wards parallel with Via Saragozza. To enter them and start the San Luca Portico walk, you’ll go through the red-coloured Arco Bonaccorsi. Arco Bonaccorsi: the entrance to the portico of San Luca First Section: The Flats Warning: it gets steep near the Sanctuary, so you might have to dig a little deeper at the end! Sanctuary of the Madonna of San Luca Also, for those who have mobility challenges, much of the uphill part is made of steps, so anyone who is not able to use steps or struggles with them might want to consider getting the tourist bus, the San Luca Express, to the Sanctuary.
