FAQs about hotels in Bologna

A Gourmet Delight

World-class cuisine is what Bologna does best. Nowhere in Italy, a country with considerable culinary heritage, is the food considered better than in this medieval gem.

Bolognese sauce of course originated here, but to try the real thing look out for ragú on the menu. Cold meats and cheeses are also exquisite. Make sure you save plenty of time for eating – the Bolognese like to savour their food, so a meal can last for hours.

Many of the best eateries and homemade ice cream shops can be found behind the mile upon mile of porticoed streets, now UNESCO World Heritage listed. The complex of medieval churches and buildings in cobbled Piazza Santo Stefano is a tranquil spot to explore. Climb one of the Two Towers nearby (not the one leaning at a startling angle) for spectacular views over this red-roofed city.

The focal point of Bologna is huge Piazza Maggiore, whose Santo Petronio church has an unimpressive, half-finished façade that doesn’t prepare you for its sheer scale inside. Fanning out from this square are the buildings of Europe’s oldest university, founded in 1088 and home to the city’s best museums.

Bologna accommodation on Booking.com ranges from small B&Bs to luxury hotels, all easily accessible from Bologna Airport just outside the city.

    Way too touristy - it has become like Venice.

    Way too touristy - it has become like Venice. A short stay, followed by exploration of other regions, is my recommendation. We had a great visit to Parma - better food/restaurants and way less crowded.

    At the time of our visit, the Piazza Maggiore was full of tents with protesters, "supporting" Palestine. A strong presence of police also. This ruined the beautiful Renaissance Piazza and did not make for a relaxing stay. On last day of our visit, we were at the train station when a demonstration outside turned violet and demonstrators attacked police, who had to set off teargas. To keep the mob out of the station, the doors had to be locked so we were trapped in the station. Also, there is a lot of construction going on to extend the tramway system, so again, it detracted from what is a beautiful city. I would not recommend a visit to Bologna until these demonstrations are no longer taking place. We did 2 very good guided tours: one of the historic centre and the other of the first university in Bologna. Had some very good food but also some not good. Overall a mixed experience

    Truly one of the great food cities of the world.

    Truly one of the great food cities of the world. The capital of Emilia Romagna is the home of Mortadella, Balsamic Vinegar, Parmigiano Reggiano and Prosciutto di Parma. The city itself is very historic and atmospheric. The many kilometres of porticos are unique. And the food!!! Do not miss the Quadrilatero market area - a myriad of delicious choices of the best food Bologna has to offer. And you can access all of Bologna on foot.

    Visited Florence prior to Bologna -- i personally glad i spent more time in Bologna over Florence-- plenty to see / shop and of course eat.... and it was flat for walking access ... the city with it's porticos thru out and plenty of history -- would have spent more time in the museum as it had great large collection of artifacts from 500 bc and 12th century found in the city of Bologna not into shopping but lots of high end and variety of shopping -- liked to wander and there are many different paths to lead one to other sites -- a must is to hike up to the high point to oversee the city views-- san luca madonna sanctuary-- also visit the basement of the city library to view the ancient city when rome occupied the city about 7-8 meters below current city

    We really enjoyed our short visit to Bologna - our first time there. It's a fascinating city - lively, vibrant and friendly. There is a wealth of cultural attractions (especially MAMb0 the modern art museum) and plenty of reasonably priced but good places to eat and drink. It does attract quite a lot of tourists but they don't overwhelm the city, unlike Venice and Florence. It feels like a lived-in city but one that welcomes visitors. We will definitely return.

    Bologna is very walkable with incredibly beautiful porticos and parks. San Luca was interesting. The many street markets offer a variety of things to see and taste. The many districts of the city are also fun to visit.saragozza, the ghetto, Cirenaia, Giardini Marguerite….. And the train station is close for travel to other places. Love Bologna!

    Literally across the road from the central train station, so really handy for connecting to the airport / the rest of Italy. Short walk or very cheap taxi into town from there. Reception staff are super friendly and helpful and have great English. Rooms are very well sound-insulated and quiet.
